InterContinental® Singapore Robertson Quay is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Winterton as General Manager and Jessica Koh as Director of Sales and Marketing for the soon to open hotel, the second InterContinental property under the management of InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®) in Singapore.

Mark is an award-winning hospitality professional with over twenty years of international experience launching luxury hotels, re-­positioning existing brands and driving innovation for some of the world’s most successful properties. As General Manager of InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay, Mark will be responsible for the strategic positioning of the property as the next generation of the InterContinental hotel brand. He will spearhead the opening in September 2017, with the goal of achieving a unique and unrivaled market positioning.

Set amidst a vibrant area along the charming waterfront of the Singapore River, known for its dining options and arts houses, the 225-­guestroom luxury hotel is conveniently located in proximity to Marina Bay and the Central Business District, while major city attractions and the Singapore Changi International Airport are just a short drive away.

“I am delighted to be leading this next-­generation InterContinental hotel – InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay. The hotel is well-placed in a precinct that is home to an exciting residential and lifestyle hub, and I look forward to working alongside the team to introduce the hotel and dining offerings to both our residents and the community as we seek to establish our presence in the quay,” said Mark Winterton, who will drive the establishment of the property as Singapore’s most dynamic new luxury hotel.

Leading the sales and marketing division of the new property will be Jessica Koh, an accomplished professional with over 14 years of experience in luxury hotel openings. During her 8-year tenure with IHG, she has successfully supported three hotel openings in Vietnam and Malaysia. In her new role, she will apply her wealth of industry knowledge to develop and execute the sales and marketing plans as well as training of sales, marketing and revenue teams.

Jessica says of her appointment: “Following the recent transformation of Robertson Quay, I foresee potential for further growth in the precinct and look forward to delivering a brand-new luxury stay experience within the residential community. Our new offerings will ensure that InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay is well-­poised to enter the competitive luxury market.”
