"YOTEL Singapore will be the brand's springboard into Asia," added Joe Sita, CEO of IFA Hotel Investments.
The hotel concept already operates airport hotels in London Heathrow, Gatwick, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and a 669-cabin city-centre property, two blocks west of Times Square in New York City.
YOTEL was created by YO! founder Simon Woodroffe and CEO Gerard Greene.
Inspired by first class travel, the first city centre location was opened two blocks from Times Square at 10th Avenue and West 42nd Street features 669 stylish cabins.
Facilities include private outdoor terraces with hot tubs, rotating king size beds and YOBOT, the world's first robotic luggage concierge.
