From London to Hong Kong and now Singapore, The Hari Hotel’s next chapter promises sophisticated design, world-class hospitality and a fresh take on luxury in the heart of Orchard Road.
Singapore has long been one of Asia’s most exciting luxury travel destinations, where futuristic architecture meets rich cultural heritage and world-class hospitality. Now, one of the industry’s most celebrated boutique hotel brands The Hari is preparing to make its mark on the Lion City.
Opening in spring 2027, The Hari will relaunching their new hotel in Singapore, transforming the former Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre into an elegant new luxury hotel, bringing the brand’s signature blend of refined design, exceptional service and contemporary culture to one of Singapore’s most sought-after addresses.
Luxury travellers know that the world’s most memorable hotels are more than simply beautiful places to stay. They tell stories, create connections and become destinations in their own right.
That philosophy has been at the heart of The Hari since the brand opened its flagship hotel in London’s prestigious Belgravia a decade ago. With its distinctive blend of understated elegance, thoughtful design and personalised hospitality, The Hari quickly established itself as one of the capital’s finest boutique hotels before expanding to Hong Kong in 2020.
Now, the internationally acclaimed luxury brand is preparing for its next exciting chapter.
Scheduled to open in spring 2027, The Hari Singapore will become the third property in the growing collection, introducing the brand’s signature style to one of Asia’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities.
Perfectly positioned on Cavenagh Road, just moments from Orchard Road’s world-famous shopping precinct, the hotel promises to deliver an experience that feels every bit as sophisticated as its global counterparts while embracing Singapore’s unique identity.
A New Era for Luxury in Singapore
Singapore’s luxury hotel scene is among the most competitive in the world, with internationally renowned names lining Marina Bay, Orchard Road and the city’s heritage districts.
Rather than competing through sheer scale, The Hari has built its reputation by offering something increasingly sought after by modern travellers—boutique luxury with personality.
The new hotel will transform the existing Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre into an elegant 326-room luxury retreat, offering a carefully curated collection of experiences designed for both international visitors and discerning locals.
Guests can expect spacious accommodation, an executive lounge, premium dining experiences, wellness facilities and a stunning rooftop swimming pool that offers an urban sanctuary high above the city streets.
It’s the type of hotel equally suited to a weekend city escape, an extended holiday or a stylish business stay.
Design That Feels Like Home
One of The Hari’s defining characteristics is its design philosophy.
Rather than creating spaces that feel overly formal or intimidating, every property is designed to evoke the warmth and comfort of an elegant private residence.
That vision will once again be brought to life by acclaimed British interior designer Tara Bernerd, whose work has become synonymous with contemporary luxury around the world.
Having already shaped both The Hari London and The Hari Hong Kong, Bernerd returns to create interiors that balance timeless sophistication with a genuine sense of place.
Expect layered textures, rich natural materials, curated artworks and beautifully crafted spaces that invite guests to slow down and linger.
While every Hari hotel shares a recognisable design language, no two are identical.
For Singapore, the interiors will reflect the city’s multicultural energy, tropical climate and reputation as one of Asia’s most dynamic destinations.
The result promises to be refined, elegant and unmistakably Singaporean.
Art as Part of the Experience
Increasingly, luxury travellers seek hotels that inspire creativity as much as relaxation.
One of The Hari’s most distinctive features is its ongoing commitment to contemporary art.
Rather than displaying permanent collections, the brand showcases a rotating selection of artworks throughout each property, ensuring every visit feels slightly different from the last.
This evolving gallery experience transforms public spaces into cultural destinations while supporting both emerging and established artists.
It’s a thoughtful detail that reflects The Hari’s broader philosophy, that luxury should stimulate the senses, spark conversation and leave guests feeling inspired. Click here to hear from the General Manager of The Hari Hong Kong.
Hospitality That Goes Beyond Service
Luxury hospitality today is no longer measured solely by thread counts or marble bathrooms.
The world’s leading hotels increasingly focus on creating genuine emotional connections through thoughtful, personalised service.
That commitment sits at the heart of the Harilela family’s hospitality legacy.
Founded in 1959, the Harilela Group has spent decades building an international portfolio of hotels across Asia, Europe and the United States while remaining proudly family-owned.
Today, the group operates 15 properties across multiple continents, with The Hari representing its flagship boutique luxury brand.
Speaking about the Singapore announcement, founder Dr Aron Harilela described the hotel as embodying “relaxed elegance punctuated by eccentricity, wit, culture and genuine heartfelt hospitality.”
Those qualities have become hallmarks of the brand, distinguishing The Hari from larger international luxury hotel chains.
Rather than striving for grandeur, the hotels focus on creating environments that feel welcoming, intimate and effortlessly stylish.
Why Singapore Makes Perfect Sense
Few global cities are better positioned for The Hari’s next chapter than Singapore.
Already recognised as one of the world’s leading destinations for luxury shopping, award-winning restaurants, contemporary architecture and cultural diversity, Singapore attracts travellers who appreciate thoughtful design and exceptional hospitality.
The city’s vibrant mix of heritage neighbourhoods, futuristic skylines, lush gardens and culinary innovation perfectly complements The Hari’s design-led philosophy.
Its central Orchard Road location also places guests within easy reach of the city’s major attractions, from Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Botanic Gardens to the colourful streets of Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India.
Whether travelling for business, leisure or a combination of both, guests will find themselves immersed in one of Asia’s most exciting urban destinations.
Looking Ahead
As international travel continues to evolve, luxury hotels are redefining what guests value most.
Today’s travellers are seeking authenticity over extravagance, thoughtful experiences over excess, and hotels that reflect the character of their destination rather than feeling interchangeable.
The Hari Singapore appears perfectly positioned to meet those expectations.
With elegant interiors by one of Britain’s leading designers, carefully curated dining and wellness experiences, a rooftop retreat overlooking one of Asia’s most exciting cities and a hospitality philosophy grounded in warmth and culture, the hotel promises to become one of Singapore’s most anticipated luxury openings of 2027.
For travellers already familiar with The Hari London or Hong Kong, Singapore offers an exciting new reason to return to the brand.
And for those discovering The Hari for the first time, its newest address may well become the perfect introduction to a hotel collection that proves true luxury isn’t about being the biggest—it’s about making every guest feel completely at home.
As Singapore’s luxury hotel landscape continues to evolve, The Hari Singapore is poised to become far more than just another five-star address. It promises to be a destination where timeless design, meaningful hospitality and contemporary culture come together to create a stay that’s as memorable as the city itself.
