Bethesda, MD – Stayntouch, a global leader in cloud hotel property management systems (PMS), announced the expansion of its partnership with TPG Hotels & Resorts, a premier hospitality management company with a diverse portfolio of hotels across the United States.

Stayntouch’s Best-in-Class PMS delivers:

Before travelling to Japan to discover the newly opened Fairmont Tokyo, I really didn’t know what to expect.

This is set to change with the arrival of Fairmont Tokyo, its first hotel in Japan, which will give the city’s other five-star luxury hotels a run for their money.

Located in the coastal Shibaura neighbourhood – a quiet area only a ten-minute taxi ride away from buzzy Ginza – the property is flanked on one side by Tokyo Bay and on the other by Tokyo Tower, one of the city’s landmarks.

Given Tokyo’s vast expanse, it’s easy to forget that it’s a port city – something you can truly appreciate if your room or suite faces the sea overlooking Rainbow Bridge, which lights up at night. It’s a welcome change from Tokyo’s urban sprawl, providing some respite from the density and high-rises typical of the metropolis.

The hotel occupies the top floors of a newly built skyscraper owned by Nomura Rea Estate Development Co, a key player in the recent redevelopment of Shibaura. At the waterfront neighbourhood, you can walk along lovely canals, take a break in lush gardens and have a bite at one of the casual eateries dotting the area.

Like many luxury hotels these days, the journey begins on one of the upper floors, the 35th, where the lobby is located. The breathtaking views start here, thanks to the outdoor terraces that surround the expansive space, and they’re definitely one of the hotel’s main selling points. Also on the lobby level are a spa, a 20-metre indoor infinity swimming pool, an outdoor pool with a relaxation deck, and a well-equipped gym.

Minor Hotels has broken ground on its first Avani property in Singapore, marking a key milestone for the lifestyle brand. Located at 24 Peck Seah Street in the Tanjong Pagar district, the 14-storey hotel is scheduled to open in 2Q2027.

Developed through a partnership with Singapore-based Kajima Development and Abu Dhabi-based Al Wathba Investment, Avani Singapore will feature 200 keys and offer an elevated urban escape that blends the heritage charm of the shophouse precinct with the brand’s modern aesthetic. Facilities will include a pool deck, gym, dining outlets, and a pedestrian link connecting Peck Seah and Tras Street.

The hotel’s location, less than 200m from Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and 350m from Maxwell MRT Station, will provide seamless access to key business and leisure districts including the Downtown Core and Marina Bay.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by over 50 guests, including William E Heinecke, chairman and founder of Minor International; Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Minor Hotels and group CEO of Minor International; Mohamed Saif Al Suwaidi, managing director of Al Wathba Investment; and Shuichi Oishi, CEO of Kajima Development. Also present were the ambassadors of Japan and Thailand to Singapore.

Heinecke opened the event with a speech highlighting the project’s strategic significance and its role in expanding Avani’s presence in major global cities. A project overview followed, after which guests gathered for the ceremonial turning of the soil.

“With our trusted partners Kajima and Al Wathba, we are bringing to life a project that not only reflects our shared commitment to innovation and excellence, but also celebrates the city’s unique blend of culture and modernity,” said Heinecke.
