UOL Group has partnered with Hilton to introduce the first NoMad Hotel in Asia-Pacific, set to open on Singapore’s Orchard Road in early 2027.
The 173-room luxury hotel will be built on the site of the former Faber House, which is being redeveloped into a 19-storey hotel with retail and commercial spaces.
NoMad, which recently joined Hilton’s luxury portfolio, is known for its unique blend of luxury and lifestyle. The hotel brand, acquired following Hilton’s purchase of a majority stake in Sydell Group, is expanding its footprint from its flagship in London to high-end markets worldwide. This marks Hilton’s first entry into Singapore’s luxury lifestyle hotel market.
The Singapore hotel will feature distinctive local design elements, including curated artworks by Singaporean artists with special needs. The property is expected to offer guests access to the city’s shopping, entertainment, and cultural hubs, with key districts like the financial centre, Bras Basah-Bugis, Arab Street, and Chinatown just a short distance away.
Designed by the architecture firm WOHA, the hotel will feature a biophilic design, incorporating a 15-storey cascading waterfall and vertical greenery on its façade. The third level will host a public space for art and design programming, and the hotel will connect with surrounding developments.
The guest experience will begin at the fifth level, with a lobby, sky terrace, and infinity pool overlooking Orchard Road. Guestrooms will be located above, with a rooftop bar and restaurant completing the offering.
Alan Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton, said: “With demand for high-end, experience-driven stays surging across the region, the luxury gateway of Singapore offers the perfect backdrop to debut NoMad’s uniquely local luxury hospitality – and will be the first of many cities in Asia to welcome the brand.”
UOL chief operating officer Neo Soon Hup added: “NoMad Singapore will bring together modern elegance and the city’s dynamic cultural energy, offering a distinct experience that reflects the brand’s character. We look forward to making NoMad a standout presence in the market, delivering exceptional stays that go beyond traditional luxury and resonate with discerning travellers.”
