Singapore’s first Moxy hotel expected to open in Clarke Quay by March 2027
CDL Hospitality Trusts expects to complete its S$474.6 million acquisition when the 475-room property opens.
Marriott’s Moxy brand is set to enter Singapore with a Clarke Quay hotel expected to welcome guests by end-March 2027. CDL Hospitality Trusts (CDLHT) said in a Nov 10 stock exchange filing that it expects to complete the S$474.6 million acquisition upon opening.
The 475-room hotel will occupy 21 storeys within CanningHill Piers, the mixed-use development on the former Liang Court site. It replaces Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay, which CDLHT sold in 2019 under an arrangement to purchase the replacement hotel after construction.
Rooms will range from about 17 sq m to 27 sq m, offering outlooks towards the Singapore River, Fort Canning Park or the city skyline. Planned facilities include a rooftop swimming pool and a restaurant with Marina Bay views.
Guests will have access to the development’s retail and dining outlets, with an underground pedestrian connection to Fort Canning MRT station. CapitaLand Development and City Developments Limited are developing CanningHill Piers in partnership with Ascott Residence Trust.
According to CDLHT, the purchase will take its Singapore portfolio to 3,030 rooms, an increase of about 19 per cent. Its managers expect the location to attract business and leisure visitors, while Marriott’s reservation network and Bonvoy programme could support occupancy.
The managers estimate that occupancy will need about two to 2½ years to stabilise, with 2030 expected to mark the hotel’s first full year of stabilised operations.
