AUSTRALIA’S QT HOTELS & RESORTS ENTERS ASIA WITH GRAND AND GLAM QT SINGAPORE
Australian-based QT Hotels & Resorts announced today the forthcoming opening of QT Singapore, the group’s first hotel outside Australia and New Zealand. Since EVT opened the inaugural QT in 2011, the brand’s combination of luxury, chic, informality, playfulness, and eccentricity has transformed the high-end hotel scene across Australia and New Zealand, and soon to be Southeast Asia.
The new QT Singapore is housed within the former headquarters of the Cable and Wireless Eastern Extension Telegraph Company, an over-the-top example of British Empire monumental design, all columns, and verandas – originally built in 1927. It was granted landmark status in 2000 and converted into the Telegraph Hotel. The head-to-toe transformation of the landmark building into the QT Singapore is being led by renowned interior designer, Nic Graham, whose goal is to “blend inspiration from the tropical climate and historic architecture with the rich colors and bold statements that are QT’s signature style.”
Set to open in September 2024, QT Singapore will feature 134 luxury rooms and suites, a rooftop swimming pool and bar redesigned as Rooftop by QT, and a signature bar and grill, including intimate dining options. QT Singapore will sit in the heart of the city’s bustling downtown, adjacent to the Lau Pa Sat Hawker Centre, thronged by visitors and locals eager to dine, snack and shop within a 130-year-old architectural marvel.
“We’re excited by the liveliness QT will bring to Singapore’s diverse tourism landscape,” says Callum Kennedy, Group General Manager of EVT Hotels and Resorts. “QT Singapore will be championed by QT’s luxurious quirk, from design to signature service, bringing the energy and vibrancy guests love from the world of QT to be discovered by locals and travelers in Southeast Asia.”
QT Singapore’s General Manager will be Doron Whaite, whose 20 years of experience with QT Hotels & Resorts and its parent company EVT, include major positions at QT Perth and QT Sydney. He led the launch of QT Auckland, winning him Hospitality New Zealand’s Hospitality Award for Excellence. “I am passionate about creating luxurious, memorable environments for guests,” says Whaite, “and QT Singapore, with its limitless potential, will enable the evolution of this iconic property into its next era, right in the heart of Asia.”
