Minor Hotels’ first hotel in Singapore
Minor Hotels, the group behind the Anantara and Avani brands, has had no hotel in the city-state until now. It will make its entrance with Avani, its upscale lifestyle brand.
The project is not new: unveiled in August 2024, it saw its foundation stone laid on 4 August 2025, with two partners, Singapore-based Kajima Development and Abu Dhabi’s Al Wathba Investment. Elsewhere in South-East Asia, the brand is also preparing Avani+ Hanoi, due to open in Vietnam in 2028.
A 14-storey tower 200 m from the metro
The hotel will occupy a new building at 24 Peck Seah Street, in Tanjong Pagar, a district in central Singapore. Tanjong Pagar MRT station will be less than 200 m away on foot, and Maxwell station about 350 m.
One distinctive feature: a pedestrian walkway will run through the hotel, linking Peck Seah Street to Tras Street, another street in the area.
200 rooms and suites from 19 to 70 m²
The 200 rooms and suites will range from 19 m² for the smallest to 70 m² for the largest. The rendering released by Minor Hotels shows a room opening onto the city through a wide picture window.
To unwind, the hotel is planning an outdoor pool and a landscaped terrace. The AvaniFit gym will be fitted out by Technogym, with cardio machines and strength-training stations. No spa has been announced so far.
SEEN, a rooftop restaurant and bar
The flagship venue will sit on the roof: SEEN Restaurant & Bar will serve food and cocktails facing the Singapore skyline. The press release promises DJ nights, pop-up restaurants and collaborations.
Downstairs, the Lobby Lounge will offer snacks and drinks. The Pantry, Avani’s grab-and-go concept, will round things off with healthy options.
Judd Rabbidge, from the Maldives to Tanjong Pagar
The hotel will be run by Australian Judd Rabbidge, appointed general manager in September 2026. Since July 2024 he had been running Avani+ Fares Maldives Resort, and he was part of the opening team at W Sydney, a 588-room hotel.
In the press release, the general manager of Avani Singapore says that Tanjong Pagar has an energy of its own and that he wants the hotel to contribute to it. For him, success will come down to everyday details and to an atmosphere that makes guests and neighbours alike want to come back.
