This instinct for exploration and new experiences is at the heart of PARKROYAL Hotels & Resorts, hardwired into their philosophy with the statement “Simply Yours,” a guiding principle to offer travellers exactly what they want – heartfelt, authentic experiences and a genuine connection to local cultures and communities.
Indulgent Hotels
Known for opening hotels in must-visit locations, the brand offers more than just a place to rest your head, but a doorway to each vibrant location. Guests discover and foster genuine connections with the surrounding community.

‘Scents’ of Place
The good-time vibes of each PARKROYAL hotel begin as soon as guests arrive in the lobby. The entry area serves as a stage for the essence of each address, drawing on the neighbourhood’s character to create an inviting, adaptable public space.
Thoughtfully built spaces adapt to the rhythms of use throughout the day, from a busy hub for work and collaboration during the day to evenings guided by a curated music selection to set the atmosphere for connection.
Scent is another vital part of the PARKROYAL guest experience. The subtle use of the brand’s signature PARKROYAL Joy blend — a magical mix of cardamom, pimento and mandarin — wafts throughout the lobby and social spaces, bringing the vivacious PARKROYAL personality to life, leaving guests with a feeling of warmth and bonhomie.
