The Laurus draws inspiration from “Singapore’s storied past and rich cultural heritage”, said Rajeev Menon, president, Asia Pacific excluding China, of Marriott International. It will “celebrate the essence of the city, and we look forward to welcoming global explorers and collectors to experience Singapore’s captivating charm through the lens of our brand,” Menon added.
The new hotel is part of RWS’ efforts to refresh its offerings in a competitive tourism landscape. Two additional hotels will also be added to RWS’ stable of six hotels, which currently includes Crockfords Tower, Equarius Hotel, Equarius Villas, Hotel Michael, Hotel Ora and The Laurus.
In March 2025, RWS announced plans to debut a new premier lifestyle cluster, Weave, in the second half of the year. Weave will offer a collection of over 40 lifestyle and premium brands, including several new-to-Singapore culinary concepts.
These include patisserie Maison Pierre Herme Paris by Pierre Herme, Middle Eastern street food concept WeWa and two dining concepts by Michelin-starred chef Paul Pairet – an ice-cream parlour and French kitchen featuring grilled meats.
