SINGAPORE, May 2026 – Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is proud to announce its recognition as the Leading Lifestyle Experience Hotel in Singapore at the 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards. This prestigious accolade celebrates the hotel’s unwavering commitment to delivering immersive, culturally rich experience rooted in the vibrant heritage of the Katong neighbourhood, affirming its place as one of Singapore’s most distinctive lifestyle destinations.
Nestled in the heart of Singapore’s first heritage town, Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong is a seamless fusion of modern sophistication and the storied traditions of Peranakan culture. The 131-room hotel masterfully interweaves a contemporary multi-storey building with the historic charm of the former Joo Chiat Police Station, a timeless edifice dating to 1928. Every corner of the property, from its intricate Peranakan ceramic wall collage in the lobby to evocative art murals capturing the neighbourhood’s communal spirit, narrates a compelling story of place, culture and identity.
“We are deeply honoured to receive this recognition from Haute Grandeur – one of the most respected accolades in global hospitality. This award is a true reflection of the passion, creativity, and dedication of every member of our extraordinary team. At Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong, we believe that travel should be transformative. We don’t simply offer a place to sleep; we offer a gateway into the living culture and soul of Katong. To be recognised as the Leading Lifestyle Experience Hotel in Singapore is a powerful affirmation that our commitment to authentic, neighbourhood-inspired hospitality resonates deeply with our guests.”
– Adel Aramouni, General Manager, Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong
Guests of Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong enjoy a wealth of curated experiences that bring the spirit of Katong to life. The crown jewel of the property, Rooftop 88, features a stunning infinity pool with panoramic views of the Katong/Joo Chiat skyline, complemented by an al fresco dining space perfect for sundowners and starlit dinners. The acclaimed Baba Chews all-day dining restaurant celebrates Modern-Asian cuisine alongside local signatures and Western classics, while the pet-friendly Hotel Indigo Garden offers a lush, welcoming setting for alfresco dining. Designed by the renowned Ong & Ong and eco.id Architects and Design Consultancy, every element of the hotel reflects an uncompromising dedication to design excellence and cultural authenticity.
This recognition by Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards — an initiative driven by genuine guest feedback rather than public votes or panel decisions — further underscores the hotel’s standing as a benchmark for lifestyle hospitality in Singapore and across Southeast Asia.
