A consortium comprising Sunray Singapore, a Tan-family-controlled investment company linked to Singapore-based Sunray Woodcraft Construction Pte Ltd (“Sunray”), Singapore-based NINECO+ Pte Ltd. (“Nineco”) and other shareholders, has reportedly sold the 134-key QT Singapore to an undisclosed family office for over SGD260 million, translating to more than SGD1.94 million per key. Housed in a conserved heritage building dating back to the 1920s, the property occupies a 1,860 square metres ("sqm") site with a gross floor area of approximately 7,450 sqm across six floors. The property features two food and beverage outlets, an outdoor pool, and a fitness centre. The hotel has approximately 45 years remaining on its 60-year lease commencing in 2011. The consortium acquired the property, then operating as Hotel Telegraph, for an estimated SGD170 million to SGD180 million in October 2023, before Sunray delivered a full-property refurbishment that spans over SGD15 million. It reopened in September 2024 under QT Hotels & Resorts, owned by Australia-based hospitality group EVT Limited, marking the brand's first hotel outside Australia and New Zealand. Singapore-based High Street Holdings Singapore, and Nineco have driven the operating performance as the property’s asset manager.

The consortium also completed the acquisition of the 232-key Orakai Daehakro Hotel in Seoul's Jongno District in June 2026. The Yeosu acquisition marks Josun Hotels' first entry into South Korea's Honam region, with both newly acquired properties targeted to reopen under Josun Hotels' brands in the first half of 2027. Josun Hotels plans to further expand its domestic portfolio into key regional destinations, including Cheongna and Andong, with the aim of operating a total of 14 hotels across South Korea by 2030.
