InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) has opened the first ever Holiday Inn Express in Singapore, located in the heart of the country’s vibrant shopping district and entertainment hub, Orchard Road. Holiday Inn Express Singapore Orchard Road is the first of two Holiday Inn Express hotels planned for Singapore during the brand’s rapid expansion across South East Asia.

The 221-room hotel is within easy walking distance of popular shopping malls, such as ION Orchard and Ngee Ann City, as well as prime medical centres, Mount Elizabeth Hospital and Paragon Medical Centre.

The hotel offers convenient access to great restaurants, bars and entertainment options. Somerset and Orchard MRT Stations are just a stone’s throw away, providing easy access to the CBD and the rest of Singapore.

“Savvy travellers are constantly seeking a high quality experience that provides all the essentials they need to be self-reliant and make the most of their trip,” explains Mark Winterton, Area General Manager, Holiday Inn Express Singapore and Malaysia.

“We are very excited to be the first Holiday Inn Express hotel in Singapore where guests can expect a fuss-free and refreshing stay with guaranteed comfort and convenience at a reasonable price,” he added.

“Globally, Holiday Inn Express is one of the largest and fastest growing brands in the industry and, in South East Asia, the brand has a particularly bright future ahead. We are confident that Holiday Inn Express will do well in Singapore, whether guests are here for a quick stopover or longer trip, for business or for leisure.” said Clarence Tan, Chief Operating Officer South East Asia and Resorts, IHG.
