Far East Hospitality expansion caters for wellness and spa sectors

The Far East Hospitality hotel group has announced its regional expansion plans following the opening of two properties – The Clan Hotel Singapore and Quincy Hotel Melbourne, in the first quarter of 2021.

Expanding in Singapore
Looking ahead, Far East Hospitality is expanding into the resort and spa category with the opening of Oasia Resort Sentosa in 2021.

The 191-key property consists of Suites, Wellness Premier Rooms, and Deluxe Rooms, and will be the fourth property on Sentosa island managed and operated by Far East Hospitality. Guests will have the opportunity to experience a wellness lifestyle that promotes a holistic state of being, where one's mental, physical and emotional health are in sync. They are able to participate in activities such as spa treatments, fitness routines, mind-body practices, as well as connect with nature. Wellness journals, self-care checklists, and access to a collection of guided meditation audio are amongst the many items that are made available to guests during their stay.

Commenting on the expansion plans, Far East Orchard's Group Chief Executive, Alan Tang notes "we have not let the pandemic detract us from our goal of growing our hotel portfolio through Far East Hospitality. We are looking ahead and positioning ourselves for the eventual recovery, by deepening our presence in markets where there is a long-term positive outlook for hospitality and tourism."
