I enjoyed speaking to Michael Marshall, CEO of S Hotels & Resorts Public Company Limited, which is the hospitality arm of Thai real estate developer Singha Estate. Singha means “lion” in several Asian languages, and I had thought the lion share of Singha Estate’s revenue would be from residential projects. In fact, when researching, I learnt that hospitality accounted for 64% of its revenue in 2023. No wonder there's a huge plan to expand and maximize S Hotels & Resorts ROI through asset rotation and M&A opportunities. Marshall has a war chest of 15 billion baht ($454 million) for these opportunities over the next five years. The chain aims to add 50 hotels within 5 years through acquisitions and management contracts. Currently, it has 36 hotels with 4,290 rooms, of which 26 hotels of which are in the UK, managed by third-party operator Ambridge Hospitality under largely a Mercure franchise. Marshall, who joined the company in November 2023, is making interesting moves. Recently, S Hotels & Resorts picked Singapore-based Ascott to manage four of its properties in the U.K., starting with two hotels.   As well, Marshall is putting a bigger focus on growing the homegrown Saii brand, which debuted in 2019. Always interesting to follow Asian hotel companies and their aspirations.

This move is not just an expansion but a strategic enhancement of Sunset's already impressive global portfolio. From my perspective, this is more than a business transaction. It's a cultural infusion that brings diverse culinary philosophies under one roof, promising to elevate the dining scene in Dubai and beyond. The union of these two hospitality giants means we can anticipate a richer, more diverse gastronomic landscape. Watching such strategic expansions unfold is exhilarating. It underscores Dubai’s role as a crucible for global hospitality innovation. For those of us passionate about the evolution of dining and entertainment, these moves signal new horizons of experiences and opportunities. I'm eagerly watching how Sunset Hospitality Group leverages this new asset to craft unforgettable experiences that resonate worldwide.

HOTELS magazine last month published an interesting article about ''The AI effect'' in hospitality. In the article, 8 takeaways were listed as the key pointers to consider. AI this far has not yet ''affected'' hospitality as such, but how will it? My Humble House believes that true hospitality is human, and while technology can help making the guests' experience more efficient and maybe better, we will focus on personal touches first. We are disrupting the industry, are you ready to do it too?

The end of the Fort Canning Park Hotel brand: "Hotel Fort Canning leased by Sunset Hospitality Group; to be rebranded as Mett Singapore. It will offer a selection of venues, ranging from restaurants to nightlife". Interesting and a real shame. I like independent local hotels named after where they are. "Mett" means nothing in Singapore. Might as well be "Meh!". 🤣 I guess it's all about money. There's no sentiment here! "DUBAI-BASED Sunset Hospitality Group, through its hotels and resorts unit, is leasing Hotel Fort Canning in Singapore as part of its global expansion strategy. The group is leasing the hotel from Legends Fort Canning, an entity linked to Eng Wah Global among other shareholders. Eng Wah Global has businesses in the entertainment, property, hospitality and lifestyle sectors in Singapore and Malaysia. Its portfolio of brands includes WE Cinemas, 321 Clementi and The Legends Golf and Country Resort. As part of the deal, the hotel will be rebranded as Mett Singapore by the third quarter of 2025, said Sunset Hospitality Group in a statement on Wednesday (Oct 16). Located in a restored military building on the grounds of Fort Canning Park, the hotel will “undergo a full transformation” under the Mett Hotels & Resorts umbrella, said the group." I have to say that I haven't been there for a while. I used to go to eat there when they had concerts on which they never do now and I used to go to their restaurant which I guess will now be going. But when people stop visiting then owners need to find a new way to make money and selling a lease for someone else to do it is of course ideal! Saves you money and makes you money!
