Portier Hotels has launched The Arc House, a new collection of design-led boutique lifestyle hotels, with its first property, The Arc House Canggu, now open in Bali. The brand will expand to Hong Kong later this year, followed by Melbourne in early 2027.
The collection targets
travellers seeking locally connected hospitality, combining contemporary
design, neighbourhood experiences and personalised services. Each property will
reflect its destination through architecture, dining and guest experiences, while
maintaining a consistent design identity and service approach.
Founded in 2023 and
headquartered in Hong Kong, Portier Hotels focuses on developing hospitality
brands that emphasise design, guest experience and a strong connection to local
communities.
Edward McKenna,
Co-Founder of Portier Hotels, said: "Portier Hotels was founded with a
simple ambition of creating hospitality brands with a clear point of view and
the discipline to deliver on it every day. Asia-Pacific is a region of very
different travel cultures, and increasingly guests expect hotels to reflect
that richness. They look for design, service and food that bring them closer to
a place, rather than offering the same experience in every destination. That's
the differentiation that Portier Hotels offers through our brands."
Bali property marks
first launch
The Arc House Canggu,
located near Batu Bolong Beach, is the first property under the new brand. The
hotel is positioned within one of Bali's growing lifestyle destinations, close
to restaurants, independent retail outlets, wellness facilities and entertainment
venues.
The property features
19 private-pool suite villas, each offering individual swimming pools and
private spaces for relaxation. Additional facilities include a restaurant,
rooftop infinity pool, wellness programming and in-villa breakfast services.
Its design combines
minimalist interiors, contemporary materials and locally sourced artwork, with
architectural arches serving as a signature feature across the collection.
Karen Choi, Co-Founder
and Head of Architecture at Portier Hotels, said: "We want every The Arc
House to feel like part of one collection, without ever feeling repeated. A
shared design language pairs minimalist interiors with arches as an architectural
signature, but each address is informed by the building, the neighbourhood and
the creative life around it. In Canggu, that means a contemporary, minimalist
setting with locally sourced artwork that makes the experience feel specific to
this place."
The hotel's dining
concept, MYKAZA, combines Japanese cooking techniques with Balinese flavours,
serving both hotel guests and the surrounding community. The rooftop pool
offers panoramic sunset views, complementing the property's leisure and dining
facilities.
Expansion into Hong
Kong and Melbourne
Portier Hotels plans
to open The Arc House Hong Kong at 148 Wellington Street in Central later this
year. The 24-room boutique property will provide access to the district's
cultural attractions, heritage sites, restaurants and commercial areas.
Facilities will
include a lounge, rooftop terrace, gym and restaurant, One Forty Eight
Wellington, which will focus on Cantonese cuisine and drinks.
The brand's third
property, a 43-room hotel in Melbourne, is scheduled to open in early 2027.
Further details regarding its location, design and facilities are expected to
be announced closer to the opening.
Nikola Sasic, President, APAC, Portier Hotels, said: "The way guests use The Arc House is what brings the brand to life. Programming gives them a simple way into the food cultures, people and places that shape a neighbourhood, from a shared experience at the hotel to a recommendation worth following. Canggu is the beginning of a carefully considered rollout for The Arc House. Hong Kong and Melbourne will answer to very different city rhythms, which is exactly why they are right for the collection." -TTN
