Aman Hotel Singapore to Crown Nation’s Tallest Skyscraper

Hotel News: Aman Singapore Sets Its Sights on the Sky

Aman, the globally renowned luxury hospitality brand known for its tranquil sanctuaries, is preparing to make its highly anticipated debut in Singapore. Scheduled for completion in 2028, Aman Singapore will occupy part of The Skywaters, the forthcoming 63-storey architectural marvel at 8 Shenton Way that will rise 305 metres above the cityscape. This remarkable development, which will be Singapore’s tallest skyscraper, is set to redefine the urban skyline and extend Aman’s concept of serenity and exclusivity into one of Asia’s most dynamic cities.

The project marks Aman’s fourth entry into the urban luxury hotel market, following its successful openings in Tokyo, New York, and Bangkok. The move signals the brand’s confidence that its signature ethos of privacy, mindfulness, and refined minimalism can thrive even amid the energetic pulse of metropolitan centres. This Hotel News report indicates that Aman’s expansion into Singapore is more than just another opening—it is a strategic milestone that reinforces its evolution from a niche resort brand into a global lifestyle phenomenon.

A Towering Collaboration of Vision and Design

The Skywaters development is a collaboration between Singapore-based Perennial Holdings and the world-famous architectural firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill—the creative minds behind Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. The building will blend commercial, residential, and hospitality spaces into a vertical community, complete with lush sky terraces carved into the structure every few levels.

Inside this soaring icon, Aman Singapore will showcase interiors designed by Kerry Hill Architects, ensuring an aesthetic rooted in natural textures, calm tones, and spatial harmony. Although the brand has not confirmed the exact number of suites, reports suggest that only eleven ultra-spacious rooms will be crafted, likely spanning the 24th to 26th floors. Each suite will embody Aman’s trademark tranquility while offering panoramic city views that capture the essence of Singapore’s sophistication and vibrancy.

Luxury at Its Highest Form

Amenities at Aman Singapore are designed to embody the pinnacle of exclusivity. A full-floor wellness spa, complete with an infinity-edge pool, will serve as a private retreat reserved exclusively for hotel guests, residence owners, and Aman Club members. The branded residences, located above the hotel floors, will offer layouts ranging from one to five bedrooms—each designed as a private haven elevated high above the bustle of the Central Business District.

While room rates remain undisclosed, they are expected to align with the brand’s other premier urban properties. For reference, Aman Nai Lert Bangkok begins at approximately S$2,200 per night, while Aman Tokyo commands upwards of S$3,000. The residences, too, have historically commanded record prices; in 2024, a penthouse at Aman New York sold for US$135 million, ranking among Manhattan’s priciest home sales that year.

The Aman Legacy Continues to Rise

Founded in 1988 by Indonesian visionary Adrian Zecha, Aman first gained fame with Amanpuri in Phuket—a 40-room retreat that transformed the standards of global luxury. The brand’s essence has always centred on understated design, discreet service, and spaces that evoke deep calm. Following a series of ownership transitions, Russian-born developer Vladislav Doronin became Aman’s sole owner in 2015. Since then, the company has expanded from roughly two dozen resorts to more than 36 properties, with new openings planned for destinations including Riyadh, Dubai, Beverly Hills, and the Maldives.

Aman’s growth has been backed by significant financial investment. In 2023, it raised US$360 million from Mubadala Capital and Alpha Wave Ventures, valuing the company at around US$3 billion. By early 2025, Bloomberg reported that Aman was seeking an additional US$2 billion to fuel its ongoing global expansion. The push into urban environments has been a key component of that growth strategy, transforming Aman from a remote retreat operator into a full-fledged lifestyle brand that seamlessly integrates wellness, architecture, and exclusivity into modern living.

Singapore’s New Symbol of Elevated Serenity

The arrival of Aman Singapore is expected to strengthen the nation’s position as a premier destination for ultra-high-end travellers. Situated at the heart of the financial district, the property will appeal to business travellers and leisure guests alike, offering them an oasis of calm within the city’s kinetic rhythm. As hospitality analyst Serene Low of The Independent People noted, Aman’s strength lies in “its unwavering commitment to wellness, mindfulness, and sanctuary,” a formula now being reimagined for the urban era.

Aman’s expansion into Singapore symbolizes not only its growing influence but also a shift in global hospitality values—from luxury defined by remoteness to luxury defined by experience and intentional design. As the brand continues to build sanctuaries in the world’s busiest cities, it reaffirms its promise of creating spaces where calm meets sophistication and exclusivity becomes a way of life. The Skywaters, when complete, will not just crown Singapore’s skyline but also embody Aman’s enduring philosophy that true luxury is not about excess—it’s about essence.
