“We are not only a hotel management company but also an owner, so interest of the owner is always our priority,” Ms. Chiu said.

Dorsett Changi City Singapore will be DHI’s third property in the city state; 8 other new developments across Hong Kong, Australia and the United Kingdom are on the horizon.

DHI is a global, fully-integrated hotel group with comprehensive expertise across the entire hotel lifecycle, from deal sourcing and design to construction, whether through greenfield, brownfield, or conversion projects, to asset management, including pre-opening, ongoing operations, and maximising yield through to exit.

Its proven track record of creating value is highlighted by the acquisition of a Singapore hotel property in 2019 through a joint venture partnership. The property was subsequently rebranded as Dao by Dorsett Aparthotel in 2022, which led to its GOP doubling in the first year after rebranding, resulting in a 25% increase in valuation.
