The Meritus Story

Meritus Hotels & Resorts, Singapore’s longstanding icon of world-class hospitality, founded its roots from The Mandarin Orchard Singapore (formerly known as Meritus Mandarin Singapore). It was the first hotel to be built on Orchard Road in the late 1960s, and since then, it has become the heart of hospitality in Singapore, providing guests with its signature Asian grace, warmth and care for over three decades.


Having successfully built a brand name that is synonymous with charming Asian hospitality through The Mandarin Singapore, it was decided that this unique blend of service culture will be extended to the rest of the world, thus leading to the establishment of Meritus Hotels & Resorts.


Since its founding days, it has strived to deliver a distinctive Meritus service experience that is inspired by the virtues and richness of our Asian heritage. The Meritus Ambassador, elegant and graceful in her iconic red cheongsam, epitomizes the virtues of grace, warmth and care, hallmarks of the Meritus experience. The mark or Seal of Quality, is a sign of our commitment to consistently deliver our signature Asian hospitality to our guests.


Over thousands of years, Asians have perfected the art of making guests feel right at home. As we open more hotels across the globe, it is this heritage that our brand uniquely embraces. Meritus Hotels & Resorts can be found in major cities and locations in Singapore, Malaysia and China. Come experience Asia’s grace warmth and care when you next visit a hotel with us.
