Sadly, a well-liked Intercontinental Hotel, their flagship property in Singapore’s Bugis neighborhood, will leave the chain as of January 1, 2026 and rebrand to a different chain.

While the details for a possible rebranding or even closure for renovation purposed isn’t known yet, the hotel has already pulled availability for January and beyond.
You can access IHG’s pafe for the InterContinental Singapore here.
Guests with existing reservations have received a notice from the hotel that while their reservations will remain intact even after the hotel has left the IHG chain, the benefits associated with being Ambassador such as late checkout, points earning, complimentary breakfast, upgrade, and F&B credit, won’t be conferred.
Here is the rate calendar for January 2026 that is now zeroed out:
The last day you would be able to stay at the Intercontinental Singapore is New Years Eve, the 31st of December 2025. Rooms are still available for that date if you’re interested.
This is the email guests with an existing reservation have received:

There are a few other IHG properties in Singapore, but you have to see if these are to your liking. The second IC at Robertson Quay isn’t exactly my cup of tea. And the rates might also be much different, although the IC Bugis wasn’t a cheap hotel by any means either.
