Momentus Hotels & Resorts, an upscale hospitality brand under Momentus Hospitality, has announced its strategic expansion into Darwin, Australia, making its first international debut beyond Singapore.

Slated to open at the end of 2026, the hotel will be in close proximity to the Darwin Convention Centre and will play a pivotal role in the revitalisation of Darwin as a premier leisure and entertainment destination, forming an integral component of the reimagined Darwin Waterfront masterplan.

With 236 guest rooms, the new hotel will operate under local partner CEL Australia’s own brand, and offers a variety of amenities for corporate and leisure travellers – including two F&B outlets and plans for a Club Lounge.

"This new project signifies a defining moment for Momentus Hotels & Resorts, heralding the dawn of a new chapter as we venture beyond the borders of Singapore for the very first time, said Angeline Tan, vice president at SingHaiyi Hospitality and senior vice president at Momentus Hospitality.

“As a dynamic and youthful brand, we have cemented our reputation as a premier player in the hospitality space, aiming to consistently exceed guest expectations. We're thrilled to showcase our expertise through this venture in Australia and remain steadfast in upholding excellence through our service and guests’ experiences.”

As the brand’s first property outside of Singapore, this hotel development represents a significant milestone in Momentus Hotels & Resorts' journey, reflecting its unwavering dedication to redefining hospitality worldwide.

In the upcoming months, CEL plans to provide updates on its ongoing design development progress as well as its intentions to engage with local businesses and ensure a smooth initiation of the project.
