Since its debut in Australia’s Gold Coast in 2011, the QT hotel brand has been quietly gathering both steam and accolades, branching first across the country’s state capitals, then New Zealand and now, finally making landfall in Singapore.

Its bright, breezy, casual-chic vibe is a much-needed jolt to this part of town which bristles with blue-chip, but starchy, accounting, legal and banking firms.
