With Muslim travel shaping one of the fastest-growing sectors in global tourism, Grand Hyatt Singapore is deepening its commitment to inclusivity by offering seamless, culturally attuned experiences for Muslim travellers.

According to the latest Mastercard-Crescent Rating Global Muslim Travel Index (GMTI) 2025, international Muslim arrivals reached 176 million in 2024, marking a 25 percent increase from the previous year. By 2030, that number is projected to climb to 245 million, with total spending expected to reach USD 230 billion[1]. As Singapore continues to be recognised as the top non-OIC destination for Muslim travellers, Grand Hyatt Singapore stands out for translating this growth into meaningful guest experiences rooted in respect, authenticity, and modern luxury.

Alongside this momentum are evolving guest preferences, such as greater demand for digital tools tailored to Halal travel, recognition of the modern Muslim female traveller, interest in Muslim-friendly facilities, and a growing appeal for solo travel and digital detox retreats aligned with Islamic values.

“At Grand Hyatt Singapore, inclusivity is an essential part of our hospitality. We believe that true luxury is about creating experiences where every guest feels respected and at ease. From halal-certified dining to dedicated facilities, our aim is to ensure Muslim travellers enjoy both comfort and cultural sensitivity throughout their stay with us.” said Edouard Demptos, General Manager, Grand Hyatt Singapore.

A Pioneer in Halal Dining and Celebrations

A defining feature of the hotel is StraitsKitchen – one of the first halal-certified buffet restaurants within an international five-star hotel in Singapore. For nearly two decades, it has showcased Singapore's culinary diversity through MUIS-certified theatre kitchens serving authentic Malay, Peranakan, Indian, and Chinese dishes. Signature favourites such as charcoal-grilled Satay, Beef Rendang, Laksa, and Chili Crab highlight the richness of Singapore's multicultural food heritage.

Open daily for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, StraitsKitchen serves as the hotel's core dining venue, ensuring halal options are available to guests around the clock. The restaurant also offers semi-private dining rooms ideal for family gatherings and corporate groups seeking an exclusive setting.

This dedication extends to halal-certified in-room dining and a dedicated halal events kitchen, empowering wedding couples, social groups, and MICE organisers to host bespoke celebrations that meet Muslim dietary requirements – a capability still rare among luxury hotels in Singapore.

Thoughtful Design for Seamless Stays

Beyond cuisine, Grand Hyatt Singapore has thoughtfully integrated Muslim-friendly features throughout its newly redesigned property.

The hotel features gender-segregated prayer rooms for both guests and associates – each spanning 82 sq ft – with dedicated ablution areas, shoe racks, prayer mats, cushions, and chairs for comfort and privacy.

At Damai Spa, guests enjoy private changing areas and serene wellness facilities including the Halo Steam Room, Dual Therapy Sauna, and Air Lounge Hydro Pool – spaces designed for relaxation in privacy and respect for modesty.

For moments of quiet reflection, the Terrace Wing and Garden Studios offer a tranquil retreat. The 60 sqm Garden Studio Room, located on the first floor with direct access to the lush Terrace Wing Gardens and Wellness Pool, provides a peaceful sanctuary ideal for families seeking seclusion and restorative time together.

Recognising the needs of multi-generational travellers, the hotel's recent redesign has also increased its number of connecting-room configurations, enabling larger families to stay together with ease and comfort.

Every guestroom features Kiblat indicators and bidet systems, reflecting the hotel's dedication to intuitive design and cultural sensitivity in every detail.

Championing Inclusivity from Within

Grand Hyatt Singapore's approach extends beyond guest experience to its people and community. The hotel fosters a culture where associates are respected in their choice to wear the hijab, while partnerships with organisations, like Jamiyah Singapore and The Intan, reflect its broader commitment to cultural understanding and local engagement.

Reflecting its vision as The Grand Living Room of Orchard Road, the hotel has also introduced the Living Room Sessions — a series of intimate, experience-led gatherings that bring people together through art, food, fitness, and authentic conversation. From culinary showcases such as the debut session with France's “King of Cheese” Patrice Marchand to upcoming collaborations like a HYROX-themed session celebrating movement, community, and performance, these experiences embody Grand Hyatt Singapore's belief that hospitality is about belonging as much as it is about service.

For Muslim travellers seeking a seamless blend of luxury, comfort, and cultural sensitivity, Grand Hyatt Singapore offers an unparalleled hospitality excellence in the heart of Orchard Road, where faith and five-star living integrate effortlessly. 

Guests are invited to experience the hotel's halal-certified dining, thoughtfully designed facilities, and intuitive service first-hand. To plan your stay, please visit Grand Hyatt Singapore.
