UOL Group Limited has announced a partnership with Hilton to launch the first NoMad Hotel in Asia Pacific, set to open in early 2027 on Singapore’s Orchard Road. The 173-room luxury lifestyle hotel will replace the former Faber House, which is being redeveloped into a 19-storey structure featuring commercial and retail spaces.
The NoMad brand, known for its unique blend of luxury and lifestyle, will bring its signature style to Singapore, offering world-class dining, immersive cultural programming, and sustainable design. Alan Watts, President of Asia Pacific at Hilton, highlighted the strategic importance of this venture, stating, “This signing adds a new and significant dimension to Hilton’s phenomenal growth story in Asia Pacific.”
The hotel will be designed by Singapore’s architecture firm WOHA, featuring a biophilic design with a 15-storey cascading waterfall and a verdant vertical landscape. The urban verandah on the third level will host art and design programming, enhancing the cultural vibrancy of the area. The hotel will also include a sky terrace, infinity pool, and a rooftop bar and restaurant.
Andrew Zobler, CEO of The Sydell Group, expressed excitement about the brand’s introduction to Asia Pacific, noting, “NoMad is built on the concept of a hotel as a welcoming home filled with stories.” The hotel aims to offer guests a distinct experience that reflects the brand’s character and the dynamic cultural energy of Singapore.
UOL’s Chief Executive, Liam Wee Sin, emphasised the hotel’s role in transforming Orchard Road, alongside other UOL projects, to create a luxury lifestyle space. The NoMad Hotel will also feature curated artworks by Singaporean artists with special needs, reinforcing UOL’s commitment to inclusivity and cultural engagement.
