Pan Pacific Singapore has been named City Centre Hotel of the Year - Singapore at the Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 Asia, an accolade that underscores its position as a leading urban hospitality destination in the region. The award, presented by Travel Daily Media, recognizes the hotel's ability to combine executive luxury with seamless business connectivity and a diverse range of dining, wellness, and leisure offerings.

Located in the heart of Marina Bay, the 790-room property provides direct access to the Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre and three major shopping malls, making it a practical choice for MICE groups and business travellers. The Central Business District is within easy reach, while attractions such as Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer, and Merlion Park are nearby, offering leisure guests a convenient base to explore the city.

As the hotel celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2026, it continues to set benchmarks for luxury urban hospitality. The recognition from the Travel Trade Excellence Awards highlights its ongoing commitment to delivering sophisticated experiences for both corporate and leisure visitors.

A culinary destination in its own right

Beyond its prime location, Pan Pacific Singapore has built a reputation for its culinary portfolio, which brings together accomplished chefs and diverse gastronomic traditions. At the award-winning Hai Tien Lo, Executive Chinese Chef Edden Yap presents Cantonese cuisine with a contemporary twist, while Keyaki's Executive Japanese Chef Teruya Noriyoshi offers seasonal dishes in a tranquil rooftop garden setting, featuring sashimi, teppanyaki, and kaiseki.

For a more varied experience, Edge features seven open kitchens serving premium seafood, Asian specialities, and international favourites, with monthly themed concepts to keep offerings fresh. Pacific Emporium celebrates Singapore's culinary identity through local favourites, artisanal produce, and afternoon tea, with sweet creations by Executive Pastry Chef Edina Si.

As evening sets in, PLUME presents its latest cocktail menu, The Great Migration, which translates the journeys of migratory birds into adventurous flavours and creative techniques. This innovative approach reflects the hotel's broader strategy of blending tradition with modernity.

Guests can also enjoy the exclusive Pacific Club Lounge on Level 38, offering panoramic city views, champagne breakfast, afternoon tea, and evening cocktails. The hotel's fitness centre is equipped with advanced Technogym equipment, and the outdoor swimming pool and St. Gregory spa provide restorative options for travellers seeking downtime between meetings or sightseeing.

The Travel Trade Excellence Awards - Asia is a premier awards programme in the Asia Pacific region, honouring excellence across hotels, airlines, airports, cruise lines, tour operators, travel agencies, booking platforms, and travel technology. This year's winners include a range of industry players, from Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore to other notable names in the region.

As Pan Pacific Singapore marks four decades in Marina Bay, its continued appeal lies in bringing together the essentials of a city-centre stay with experiences worth returning to. The award celebrates the hotel's ability to connect guests with the best of Singapore while making the hotel itself an integral part of their visit.
