Capri by Fraser, Kensington / London: Global debut of refreshed brand identity 
Formerly Park International Hotel, the property has been closed since October 2025 for a comprehensive repositioning and will reopen in February 2027 as Capri by Fraser, Kensington / London, marking the global debut of the refreshed Capri by Fraser brand concept inspired by its signature “Stay Curious” ethos. The renewed positioning sharpens the brand’s identity around curiosity, creativity and contemporary urban living. It is expressed through flexible accommodation formats and activated communal spaces that foster social interaction, work and leisure throughout the day, reflecting evolving travel behaviours and hybrid lifestyles. 

The transformation includes a full-scale refurbishment aligned with the brand’s design-led and technology-forward positioning, alongside a complete mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) overhaul to enhance its environmental performance and elevate its BREEAM sustainability rating. Through layout optimisation within its existing building envelope, the inventory will increase by nine keys, improve revenue-generating capacity and yield efficiency.  

Comprising seven restored Victorian buildings spanning more than 7,000 sqm on Cromwell Road, the reimagined 180-unit property will introduce flexible accommodation formats and activated social spaces, including The Den, while preserving Kensington’s architectural heritage. The repositioning is thoughtfully calibrated to capture hybrid work patterns, extended-stay demand and experiential travel trends within one of London’s most prestigious boroughs. 

Novotel Melbourne on Collins: Inventory optimisation and brand alignment 
Scheduled for phased completion by June 2027, Novotel Melbourne on Collins’ refurbishment centres on space optimisation and brand alignment to drive revenue and operating leverage. A comprehensive review of layouts has enabled the addition of 72 keys within the existing structure, materially enhancing inventory efficiency and revenue potential. 

The transformation includes resizing selected room categories to optimise segmentation and rate architecture, aligning the asset with Novotel’s latest global brand standards. By increasing key count within the current building envelope, the enhancement is expected to support RevPAR uplift, improved margin profile and long-term valuation accretion. 

The Westin Kuala Lumpur: Strengthened premium segment with sustainability upgrade 
Targeted for completion by July 2027, The Westin Kuala Lumpur will undergo a phased refurbishment of guest rooms, lobby and all-day dining venues, alongside a full MEP upgrade designed to enhance operational efficiency and environmental performance. 

Frasers House, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Singapore: Luxury heritage transformation for long-term value accretion  
Rebranded to Frasers House, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Singapore on 1 January 2026, this heritage asset is undergoing a phased transformation scheduled for completion by December 2027. The repositioning elevates the asset within the luxury segment while thoughtfully preserving architectural legacy to reinforce its distinctive cultural identity, strengthening differentiation within Singapore’s competitive hospitality landscape.  

Enhancements include refurbishment of guest rooms, the lobby, food and beverage outlets and meeting facilities, alongside a comprehensive MEP overhaul to future-proof building systems and improve operating resilience. The hotel will remain operational throughout the programme, preserving income continuity while progressively strengthening its market positioning and long-term value creation.  

Capturing structural demand shifts 
Across all four properties, the AEIs are aligned with structural trends reshaping global hospitality demand. These include the rising preference for experiential and design-led environments, and heightened institutional focus on sustainability performance and operational resilience.  

Through targeted reinvestment, Frasers Hospitality is enhancing accommodation flexibility, increasing key density where viable, activating communal spaces and embedding sustainability improvements into core building systems. Collectively, these initiatives are expected to drive RevPAR and income growth, enhancing asset liquidity and sustaining long-term portfolio strength and resilience within evolving capital market conditions.  

A vertically integrated platform driving measurable outcomes 
Frasers Hospitality’s asset enhancement strategy is supported by its vertically integrated real estate platform spanning asset management, design, development and operations. Through disciplined reinvestment in high-quality assets and strategic expansion into structurally resilient markets, Frasers Hospitality reinforces its strategy of unlocking embedded value while future-proofing its portfolio to create, sustain and unlock value.
