Sunset Hospitality Group launched Mett Singapore on Tuesday morning, setting several major milestones for the company that has built a global empire on accommodation, dining, and entertainment management.
The hotel is the group’s first Mett property in Asia-Pacific and the 10th in its global portfolio; it also debuts the group’s first members club and brings with it the first Asian outpost of The Longevity Suite wellness facility, which is present in 35 locations across Europe.
Mett Singapore offers 84 rooms and suites in a carefully conserved architecture dating back to 1926, and is set amid the lush surroundings of Fort Canning Park.
Two of four restaurants at Mett Singapore – L’Amo Bistrò del Mare and Hanu – are popular dining concepts in Dubai, while Art di Daniele Sperindio is the brainchild of Michelin-starred chef Daniele Sperindio, who is also the hotel’s director of culinary and F&B. Both Hanu and Art di Daniele Sperindio will begin operations in 2026.
The centre piece of Mett Singapore’s lifestyle highlights is The Madison House, a private members’ club that will open in 4Q2026. The club, which hotel guests can enjoy at no charge as part of their stay, houses a padell court, a modern gym and The Longevity Suite where cryotherapy, science-driven spa and aesthetic treatments, and proven biohacking and longevity protocols are conducted.
Philipp Knuepfer, chief operating officer of Sunset Hospitality Group, told TTG Asia in an interview that the company’s ability to bring “hotel management, ‘daylife’, nightlife and dining” under one roof gives “phenomenal” power to hotel owners.
“In the world of hotels, dining and lifestyle are elements that are always missing. Many hotel companies rush to get third parties to operate their hotel’s lifestyle venues,” he explained.
Sunset Hospitality Group is behind several notable dining concepts such as Sushisamba, Mott 32, and Black Tap.
Knuepfer described Mett Singapore as “a combination of a colonial hotel with a relaxed and modern luxury touch”, where luxury is not strait-laced.
“While other luxury hotels may have a dress code at the door, at Mett we foster a Mediterranean lifestyle – you can come to breakfast in your gym attire or walk around in shorts. You will not have somebody next to you, who mentions your names five times in a row, but you would still feel pampered,” he stated.
Knuepfer believes that the luxury hospitality concept has evolved, allowing Mett properties to be “young, relaxed, active, and comfortable without boundaries”.
Mett Singapore’s launch signals a pick-up in expansion pace for Asia-Pacific. Knuepfer shared that a trip to Vietnam this week would allow him to look into opportunities in the destination.
He shared that the group is focused on growth in urban destinations, such as Bangkok, Tokyo and Sydney, as well as resort destinations like Danang, Sanya, the Maldives, and Phuket.
Sunset Hospitality Group has a target of about 30 hotels in its global portfolio within the next three years.
