Marina Bay Sands’ New Ultra-Luxury Resort Set to Redefine Singapore’s Skyline

Marina Bay Sands
Singapore is poised for another groundbreaking addition to its iconic skyline with the announcement of Marina Bay Sands’ new ultra-luxury resort destination, Integrated Resort 2 (IR2). Parent company Las Vegas Sands has committed a staggering US$8 billion to this ambitious project, solidifying Singapore's position as a premier hub for high-value leisure and business tourism.

A Visionary Addition to an Iconic Landmark

IR2 will complement and elevate the existing Marina Bay Sands resort, already renowned as one of the world’s most recognizable destinations. Designed by the award-winning Safdie Architects, led by the visionary Moshe Safdie—also the mastermind behind the original Marina Bay Sands—the new property is set to redefine luxury hospitality and enhance Singapore's global tourism appeal.

The centerpiece of this ultra-luxury development will be a 570-all-suite hotel, delivering unparalleled opulence. Guests can look forward to a signature rooftop experience, world-class dining and nightlife, and exclusive public attractions.

Unparalleled Offerings and Experiences

IR2 promises to deliver a host of extraordinary features, making it a destination like no other:

  • Luxury Suites and Amenities: A 570-suite hotel designed with exquisite attention to detail and capped by a breathtaking rooftop offering panoramic views of Singapore.
  • Premium MICE Facilities: Approximately 200,000 square feet of premium space dedicated to Meetings, Incentives, Conventions, and Exhibitions (MICE), supporting Singapore’s role as a global business hub.
  • Asia’s Leading Live Entertainment Arena: A state-of-the-art 15,000-seat arena set to become the region’s premier venue for live performances and events.
  • Luxury Retail and Wellness: An array of high-end boutiques and lifestyle and wellness amenities designed to cater to discerning travelers.

Timeline for Construction and Completion

The monumental project is set to break ground in June 2025, with an anticipated completion date of June 2030. The grand opening is projected for January 2031, pending regulatory approval from the Singapore Government.

A Bold New Era: The ‘Above Beyond’ Vision

The announcement of IR2 comes as Marina Bay Sands celebrates the successful completion of its US$1.75 billion reinvestment program. This transformation has introduced the exclusive Paiza Collection across its existing hotel towers, reflecting the resort’s bold new brand vision, Above Beyond.

This vision embodies a commitment to elevating the guest experience, pushing the boundaries of luxury, and crafting a destination that transcends expectations. Through an evocative film, bold graphic identity, and captivating storytelling, Marina Bay Sands invites guests to reimagine the possibilities of travel and hospitality.

Paul Town, Chief Operating Officer of Marina Bay Sands, commented:

“Since our opening in 2010, Marina Bay Sands has consistently redefined expectations, becoming one of the most successful integrated resorts in the world. With this new phase of development, we’re pushing the boundaries of luxury hospitality even further. The IR2 project and our ‘Above Beyond’ vision set the tone for an exciting new chapter in Singapore’s tourism landscape.”

A Transformative Impact on Singapore Tourism

The addition of IR2 is poised to significantly boost Singapore’s appeal to international visitors, supporting the city-state’s goal of attracting high-value travelers. With its cutting-edge design, innovative amenities, and a steadfast commitment to excellence, Marina Bay Sands continues to shape the future of tourism in Singapore.
