Far East to Open New Properties in Australia, Japan and Singapore

Far East Hospitality, a Singapore-based operator of hotels and serviced residences, has confirmed that it will forge ahead with expansion plans to open three new properties in Australia, Japan and Singapore.

Slated for opening in the second quarter of 2021, Oasia Resort Sentosa will be the fourth property on Sentosa island managed by Far East Hospitality and marks Far East Hospitality's first foray into the resort and spa category.

The 191-key property will consist of Suites, Wellness Premier Rooms, and Deluxe Rooms. Guests will have the opportunity to experience a wellness lifestyle encompassing not just a spa treatment, but healthy eating, fitness routines, mind-body practices, as well as connecting with nature. Wellness journals, self-care checklists, and access to a collection of guided meditation audio are amongst the many items that will be made available for guests during their stay.

"The progression into the resort and spa field is both a natural and calculated move," said Arthur Kiong, Chief Executive of Far East Hospitality. "Each of our properties on Sentosa cater to different demographics. Village Hotel Sentosa for urban explorers and families. The Outpost Hotel for young couples who prefer exclusivity, and The Barracks Hotel for those who enjoy old world charm of the building's architecture and service offerings. With Oasia Resort Sentosa, which targets the wellness conscious, it completes our suite of offerings on the island."

Japan

Four months after opening Far East Village Hotel Ariake, Far East Hospitality's first venture into Japan, the company is expanding further with a management contract for a second Village property in Yokohama.

Set to open in the second quarter of 2021, the 277-key Far East Village Hotel Yokohama will be situated in the heart of downtown Yokohama, a five-minute drive to the central business district and a three-minute walk to Sakuragicho and Kannai stations.

"Tourism in Japan has picked up gradually since the easing of travel curbs and the resumption of reciprocal 'green lanes' for business and official travel. We are also hopeful that launching the property will also give us the opportunity to capture the domestic market," said Mr Kiong.

Australia

The Quincy Hotel Melbourne is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2021.

The hotel management agreement was signed with InterGlobe through Far East Hospitality's joint venture company, Toga Far East Hotels in Australia, marking the Quincy brand's first expansion abroad.

Located at the top of Flinders Lane, a vibrant street in Melbourne's central business district, guests will be able to enjoy South East Asian cuisine at its signature restaurant as well as access to its club levels and lounge. The hotel will also boasts a rooftop pool with views of Melbourne CBD and the nearby lifestyle precinct.
