DoubleTree by Hilton Debuts in Singapore on the River

Hilton opened the 344-room DoubleTree by Hilton Singapore Robertson Quay on 30 September 2026, the DoubleTree brand's first hotel in Singapore.

A DoubleTree Debut on the Singapore River

Hilton opened DoubleTree by Hilton Singapore Robertson Quay on 30 September 2026. The hotel is the DoubleTree brand’s first property in Singapore. It holds 344 rooms at 401 Havelock Road on the Singapore River.

Havelock MRT Station sits about a five-minute walk away. Robertson Quay, Chinatown, Tiong Bahru and Clarke Quay sit within walking distance, and the Central Business District is close.

The Rooms and the River Views

Guest rooms and suites run from 24 to 50 square metres. Hilton’s FAQ gives the mix as 224 rooms facing the Singapore River and 120 facing the surrounding neighbourhood. The release body puts the river-facing count at more than 200 rooms.

The categories take in King, Queen and Twin rooms, plus rooms and suites with pull-out sofa beds. The hotel holds four Deluxe Suites and 11 connecting queen and twin rooms for families and groups. Three rooms are accessible. Each room carries a 55-inch HDTV, complimentary Wi-Fi, a work desk, coffee and tea facilities and Crabtree & Evelyn bath amenities.

Pool, Wellness Studio and the Daytime Facilities

The outdoor pool carries daybeds and cabanas. The fitness centre stays open around the clock, and a wellness studio takes quiet movement. The lobby Ritual Hub runs complimentary hands-on activities for guests and families. A cookie-making workshop opens the programme in October 2026.

Two Restaurants in the Lobby

SAUS takes the all-day slot with comfort food built on condiments. Its Four Corners of Flavour spans more than 40 house-made sauces, dips, marinades and sambals. The menu lists Nyonya Prawn Salad, Grilled Lemongrass Chicken, Signature Beef Rendang with Wagyu cheeks slow-cooked in an eleven-spice rempah, Seafood Bakar with hand-pounded sambal olek and Bak Kut Teh.

Brew:33 runs a 64-seat lounge at the other end of the lobby. It serves coffee, cookies and craft beer, including specialty roasts, a Choco Chip Cookie Crush, a Mango Coffee Latte and a Strawberry Oat Latte. The release footnote dates lunch and dinner service from 1 November 2026.

Seven Meeting Rooms for the Group Case

Seven meeting rooms and pre-function areas take corporate gatherings, private events and small celebrations. Individual rooms hold 20 to 40 guests. Clemenceau I and Clemenceau II combine for up to 70. Selected rooms carry floor-to-ceiling windows, and the hotel supplies in-house audio-visual equipment and workstations between sessions.

The Opening Points Offer

Hilton Honors members earn 1,000 bonus Points for every night stayed, capped at five nights, on stays from 30 September to 31 December 2026. Hilton directs guests to the hotel’s confirmed official booking link once live.

The Brand Behind the Hotel

DoubleTree by Hilton runs more than 700 hotels across 63 countries and territories. Guests arrive to the brand’s chocolate chip cookie at check-in. Alexandra Murray, area vice president and regional head of South East Asia at Hilton, said the debut strengthens the company’s portfolio in a market she calls key for South East Asia. Vincent Ong, vice president for full service brands in Asia Pacific at Hilton, said the hotel gives the neighbourhood places to gather, dine and connect.
