UOL, Hilton sign deal for first NoMad Hotel in Apac at former Faber House site
Faber House was an eight-storey commercial structure situated throughout the road from 313@somerset. In 2021, UOL received in-principle approvals to redevelop the location into a 19-storey resort under URA’s Strategic Development Initiative (SDI) scheme. The accommodation will also incorporate business and retail space.
Designed by WOHA, the hotel is going to present a biophilic style with a 15-storey falls and a “cliff-like verdant upright landscape” established right into the front. There will additionally be an “urban verandah”: a public spot on the 3rd level that will be utilized for art and style programs. UOL claims the urban verandah will also assist in future connections to bordering projects.
Andrew Zobler, founder and executive of Sydell Group, says that the brand’s launching in Singapore is simply the start, with a number of deals “in advanced discussions in destinations in North America, Europe and beyond”.
NoMad is a luxury lifestyle lodging label concentrating on classy layout, first-rate dining and immersive cultural programming. Started by US hospitality company Sydell Group, the brand joined the Hilton portfolio complying with the team’s procurement of a bulk stake in Sydell Group last year. Currently, NoMad has one flagship site in London, with intentions to broaden globally.
“With need for premium, experience-driven stays surging throughout the region, the deluxe entry of Singapore offers the ideal background to debut Wanderer’s uniquely local luxury hospitality– and will certainly be the first of lots of metros in Asia to welcome the brand name,” says Alan Watts, head for Asia Pacific at Hilton.
UOL Group is taking part in drives with global hospitality forerunner Hilton to present the first NoMad Accommodation in Asia Pacific. Hilton will supervise operations of the 173-room high-end accommodation, that will be positioned at the previous Faber House on Orchard Road. The hotel is set to start in early 2027.
“We are thrilled to present NoMad to Singapore as section of our placemaking goal for Orchard Road, alongside UOL’s upcoming private and special preview of its high end non commercial venture, UpperHouse at Orchard Blvd, and the acclaimed Pan Pacific Orchard, creating a triad that will certainly add to the change of Orchard Street,” claims Liam Wee Sin, UOL’s ceo.
