Far East Hospitality is renaming its Village portfolio of hotels and residences in line with a sharpened brand proposition for guests of delivering unique, authentic local experiences which is comfortable and memorable in a seamless manner. In addition to renaming, refurbishments will be unveiled for six of the eight Village properties. As Singapore’s largest operator of hotels and residences, this is part of Far East Hospitality’s broader strategy to refresh guest experience and provide a unified theme across the Village brand while delivering Singapore-inspired hospitality to guests.
On the Village brand refresh, Mr Arthur Kiong, Far East Hospitality’s Chief Executive Officer said, “Today’s generation of savvy guests want authentic, differentiated experiences. The Village brand has always been about providing these unique, local experiences through harnessing the strengths of the locales, and our guests have consistently told us that they appreciate the localized Singapore experience that Village properties provide. As a home-grown hospitality brand, the Far East brand of hospitality is one that is Singapore-inspired and we are bringing this to life by having each Village property draw inspiration from the immediate surroundings to be infused into the guest experience.”
Unified Village branding
With its strategic locations within Singapore’s cultural enclaves, Village hotels and residences draw inspiration and vitality from its surrounding neighbourhood to provide guests with opportunities to experience and explore the culture and local offerings by living like a local. These include regularly updated Walking Guides for guests at the respective precincts such as Kampong Glam and Little India and Robertson Quay. Guests staying at Village Hotel Albert Court and Village Hotel Bugis can expect to taste Indian Kulfi ice-cream, Chinese stuff buns and Malay pastries with Multicultural Food Tasting activities. Village Hotel Changi is also offering activities like cycling, yoga, zumba classes as well as day trips to Pulau Ubin for its guests. The hotel provides bicycle rental for the convenience of guests to commute around the surrounding vicinity.
In line with the focus on the unique experiences of the individual locations, the Village portfolio of hotels and residences will also be renamed to focus on the precincts they are situated in so that it is more intuitive for guests. The hotels and residences that have been renamed are:
