NoMad Hilton Singapore Opens in 2026 as Asia Pacific Debut With Luxury Design and Heritage Experiences

The brand is expanding its luxurious lifestyle offerings in Asia-Pacific, with the launch of the NoMad Hilton Singapore, where the NoMad brand will make its debut in the region. Bookings have now opened at the new hotel, which is set to launch later in 2026, allowing the NoMad brand to bring its luxury offering to a vibrant part of Singapore.

Situated on Orchard Road, the hotel will bring together luxury design, dining that focuses on the destination and culture. The launch of this hotel marks an important moment for Hilton’s luxury expansion plans, adding to the growing lifestyle hospitality segment of the luxury market. The NoMad Hilton Singapore is set to provide travelers with a sophisticated but innovative luxury experience, with the brand’s roots in New York and Europe combined with Singapore’s unique architecture, culture and vibe.

Orchard Road Location Connects Guests With Singapore’s Culture and Lifestyle

NoMad Hilton Singapore will be positioned at the centre of Orchard Road, one of Singapore’s most recognised lifestyle and retail districts. The location provides guests with direct access to luxury shopping destinations, dining venues and entertainment experiences while remaining close to historic neighbourhoods that showcase the city’s cultural heritage. The hotel’s proximity to Singapore’s Central Business District also makes it suitable for business travellers seeking premium accommodation in a central location.

Their property is designed to reflect Singapore’s ability to combine global influences with local identity. Through its location and design approach, NoMad Singapore aims to connect visitors with both the modern character of the city and its traditional neighbourhoods. The hotel’s arrival supports Singapore’s continued development as a global destination for luxury tourism, business travel and cultural experiences.

Architectural Design Creates Biophilic Landmark in Singapore

Developed in partnership with UOL Group, NoMad Hilton Singapore will transform the former Faber House building at the Cairnhill intersection into a new hospitality landmark. Designed by Singapore-based architecture firm WOHA, with interiors created by Kevin Klein Design, the hotel will cover a 10,225-square-metre footprint.

The development will feature:

• 173 guestrooms and suites
• 25 luxury suites
• A cascading 14-storey waterfall
• A vertical greenery façade
• Luxury dining venues
• Lifestyle and social spaces

The architecture introduces a strong biophilic identity, incorporating natural elements into the urban environment. The design reflects Singapore’s reputation for integrating greenery, sustainability and innovative architecture into city development. By combining nature-inspired design with luxury hospitality, NoMad Singapore aims to create a distinctive experience within Orchard Road.

Rooms and Suites Blend Contemporary Luxury With Peranakan Influences

The hotel’s accommodation collection will showcase a design philosophy inspired by Singapore’s heritage and regional artistic traditions. Guest rooms and suites will incorporate elements including:

• Rich marble finishes
• Burlwood details
• Custom wool rugs
• Decorative paravent screens
• Soft blue and green colour palettes

The interiors draw inspiration from regional design traditions and nearby Peranakan shophouses at Emerald Hill, creating a connection between the hotel and its surrounding neighbourhood. The property will feature 71 Atelier rooms, each measuring approximately 32 square metres and including a living area with bathtub facilities.

The suite collection will include:

• Parlour Suites measuring 42 square metres
• NoMad Suites measuring 43 square metres

Each suite will include thoughtful living spaces, bathtubs and double-sink bathrooms, providing guests with a comfortable urban retreat. The accommodation design reflects NoMad’s focus on creating spaces that feel residential, artistic and connected to local culture.

NoMad Grill Brings New York Dining Culture to Singapore

One of the hotel’s key culinary attractions will be NoMad Grill, located at the top of the building. The restaurant will reinterpret the classic New York chophouse experience through a Singaporean setting, combining traditional steakhouse elements with contemporary dining influences. The design will feature ornamental columns and a high tin-coffered ceiling inspired by historic New York dining rooms.

The menu will focus on:

• Dry-aged meats cooked over wood fire
• Fresh seafood
• Raw bar selections
• Seasonal produce
• Signature NoMad dishes

The restaurant aims to create a versatile dining environment suitable for celebrations, business dinners or casual evenings featuring cocktails, oysters and steak. By introducing a globally recognised dining concept with local adaptation, NoMad Singapore seeks to become a destination restaurant within the city’s competitive culinary landscape.

The Tropicana Club and Sticky Fingers Expand Entertainment Offering

Beyond traditional dining, NoMad Hilton Singapore will introduce additional lifestyle concepts designed around entertainment and social experiences. The Tropicana Club will offer a craft cocktail experience inspired by the golden age of cabaret and the glamour of Havana during the 1940s and 1950s. The concept draws inspiration from both Havana’s famous Tropicana Club, established in 1939, and Singapore’s own Tropicana Club from 1968.

The venue will reinterpret these cultural references through a contemporary NoMad perspective. At street level, Sticky Fingers will introduce a playful dessert concept featuring gourmet soft-serve sundaes with creative twists. The venue combines nostalgia with modern indulgence, adding another unique element to Singapore’s dining scene.

Singapore Art Collection Celebrates Local Creativity and Inclusion

NoMad Hilton Singapore will feature an extensive art collection consisting of more than 1,860 artworks throughout the property. Approximately 90 per cent of the collection will feature works by Singapore-based artists, creating a strong connection between the hotel and the local creative community. The collection will include diverse artistic formats, including:

• Oil paintings on copper
• Photography
• Acrylic works
• Large-scale installations
• Historical materials

The art programme explores the relationship between Singapore’s past and present, combining contemporary creativity with cultural heritage. The hotel is also partnering with ART:DIS, a non-profit organisation supporting greater access to arts for persons with disabilities. Through this partnership, NoMad Singapore will support artists with disabilities by providing opportunities to showcase their work and develop their creative practices.

NoMad Singapore Strengthens Hilton’s Luxury Lifestyle Expansion

The opening of NoMad Hilton Singapore represents another step in Hilton’s expansion within the global luxury lifestyle market. The property follows the success of NoMad London, which opened in 2021 and established the brand’s international presence. NoMad Singapore will become the second global location for the brand while introducing its unique hospitality concept to Asia Pacific.

The development reflects Hilton’s strategy of growing premium brands in destinations where luxury travellers seek personalised experiences, cultural connections and distinctive design. Singapore’s position as a global business and tourism hub makes it a strategic location for the brand’s regional debut.

NoMad Hilton Singapore Creates New Chapter for Luxury Travel in Asia

The NoMad Hilton Singapore is ushering in a new era of luxury hospitality driven by experiences in the Asia Pacific region. By marrying its Singapore heritage, modern design, top-notch dining, and cultural experiences, the NoMad Hilton Singapore is striving to create an intimate relationship with its guests through its destination experience. Located along the iconic Orchard Road, the NoMad Hilton Singapore is destined to become one of the major additions to Singapore’s luxury hospitality portfolio. The launch of the hotel in late 2026 is a crucial moment for Hilton Hotels as it expands into its luxury lifestyle portfolio.
