History
Sofitel Singapore City Centre opened in October 2017 as Accor's 800th hotel in Asia-Pacific, positioned in the Tanjong Pagar district at the base of the Guoco Tower — Singapore's tallest building. The 223-room hotel occupies the lower floors of the mixed-use tower adjacent to Tanjong Pagar train station. The property was designed to celebrate French design influences alongside Singaporean heritage, featuring curated art installations by local artists throughout the public spaces. The Sofitel So concept — linking art, fashion, and luxury — was incorporated into the hotel's identity.
Guoco Tower, which houses the hotel, was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and at 290 metres remains Singapore's tallest building, completed in 2018.
The setting
Sofitel Singapore City Centre rises above 9 Wallich Street in Tanjong Pagar, whose Malay name — 'cape of stakes' — recalls its origins as a 17th-century fishing village before it became Singapore's first Urban Redevelopment Authority conservation precinct in the mid-1980s. Today the district sits at the intersection of the Central Business District, conserved shophouse streets, and Singapore's most celebrated dining corridor. The hotel connects directly to Tanjong Pagar MRT, with Marina Bay Sands 12 minutes by transit, the National Gallery 15 minutes, and Duxton Hill's acclaimed restaurants and bars a short walk away. 12-minute walk to Chinatown.
