Strategically located at the crossroads of MacPherson and Aljunied road, the new Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson is set to welcome its first guests in April 2016. Sitting atop Macpherson Mall, which will open in June, with a myriad of retail and food and beverage options, the new hotel will offer business travellers an added measure of convenience and amenities.

“Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson is a landmark development for the area and is a much-anticipated boon to the business and residential communities, who now have a modern and stylish place to accommodate their visiting colleagues,” says Patrick Kho, group managing director of Lian Huat Group.

Ibis Styles Singapore on MacPherson is situated at the confluence of three subway (MRT) lines, offering direct access to the city’s business districts and convention centres. The hotel offers free shuttle bus service to the nearby MRT stations, including Tai Seng (circle line), Potong Pasir (northeast line) and Paya Lebar (east-west line), and is a 20-minute drive to Changi International Airport.

The stylish hotel boasts 298 vibrantly decorated guest rooms across five different categories to suit travellers’ varied needs. Rooms range from 18sqm to 20sqm in size, each featuring custom-built furniture and fittings, as well as plush bedding. Bold shapes and bright pops of crimson, orange and canary engage the senses, imbuing the space with personality typical of the Ibis Styles brand.

The pool garden on level four offers guests a relaxing retreat where they can take a dip in the hotel’s 25m swimming pool, nestled within a tropical haven of palm trees. Guests can also enjoy breakfast in the air-conditioned lounge or by the poolside chill out area, and refresh themselves with a workout at the well-equipped gym. www.ibis.com
