The DUO development, a landmark development by M+S, owned 60:40 by Malaysia’s strategic investment fund, Khazanah, and Singapore’s investment company, Temasek, has a gross floor area of 1.73 million square feet. DUO will be a catalyst for change in the area with its distinct building design, conceived by internationally renowned architect, Ole Scheeren.

“The Andaz brand is an ideal fit for the vibrant and exciting DUO development, and this hotel will join several other exciting Andaz hotels in the pipeline in locations like Delhi, Munich, and Bali. It is our pleasure to collaborate with M+S to bring Andaz Singapore to life, and we look forward to delivering on Hyatt’s promise of offering the highest level of service and hospitality to our loyal guests who will be visiting this hotel from around the world.”
