Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR) marked its 30th anniversary with a cocktail event at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore, reflecting on three decades of operations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. The group began with the opening of King’s Hotel in 1970 and has since grown to more than 150 properties worldwide.
The event brought together partners, associates, and employees from across the globe, who also joined virtually from locations including London, New York, New Zealand, and China. A commemorative video highlighted MHR’s expansion from its Singaporean origins to its current international presence and showcased the contributions of its staff and partners.
During the evening, Kwek Leng Beng, MHR’s executive chairman, received a Token of Appreciation in recognition of his leadership and vision in building the group into a global hospitality brand.
Kwek shared: “When we first embarked on this journey, our vision was clear: to build a Singapore-born hospitality brand that could stand alongside the very best in the world. Thirty years on, that vision has become a proud reality. From London to Beijing, Dubai to New York, our hotels have welcomed guests from every corner of the globe.
“This milestone is a testament not only to our company, but to the people behind it, our dedicated teams, trusted partners, and loyal guests who have shaped this journey together. Looking ahead, my aspiration is for our group to continue expanding its global footprint, with Singapore’s flag proudly flying on properties in key cities across the world.”
