Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore has a new General Manager on board, one who&rsquo;s been a part of the family before.

Jessie KhooGan&rsquo;s return to Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore feels like a homecoming, having previously served with Dorsett Hospitality International, where she led Dorsett Singapore for several years. KhooGan now helms the aparthotel as General Manager, the first woman to do so. It is a fitting move for a hospitality veteran whose career spans over 30 years weaving through some of Singapore's most notable hotels. 'A good balance of intuition, data-driven insights, and decades of hands-on experience helps in making informed decisions that are both meaningful and aligned with the values and goals of the company,' she shares.
It is clear that for Jessie, the essence of hospitality lies in the small details: a warm welcome, thoughtful touches, and a place that feels more like a home away from home. Located on Shenton Way in the heart of Singapore&rsquo;s Central Business District, Dao by Dorsett reflects Jessie&rsquo;s belief in creating spaces that go beyond luxury. For travellers who find themselves caught in the pulse of the city, the aparthotel offers unexpected respite, a place where curated amenities and a relaxed atmosphere come together seamlessly&mdash;&ldquo;At Dao, we believe in providing a custom-fit experience, allowing travellers to live life their way, anywhere.&rdquo;

Dao&rsquo;s offerings reflect this philosophy. With a pet-friendly policy, the aparthotel welcomes four-legged companions as an integral part of the guest experience, recognising the role they play in people&rsquo;s lives. For Jessie, herself a pet parent to her dog Cocoo, it adds joy to each stay. &ldquo;I love that we are pet-friendly. Welcoming pets adds a delightful touch for both our guests and their furry companions,&rdquo; she says. There&rsquo;s something heart-warming seeing guests strolling through the lobby with their pets or even finding a dog happily lounging in a cosy suite.

The aparthotel also invites guests to engage in its Adopt a Plant program, a thoughtful initiative that encourages more personalisation and a connection to nature. Guests can choose a plant to keep in their rooms during their stay, whether it&rsquo;s a leafy fern or a cheerful succulent, making their space feel more grounded and alive. The greenery adds a sense of calm, a reminder that even in the midst of busy Singapore, there&rsquo;s room to breathe.

As Jessie takes the helm at Dao, her vision is clear&mdash;to create a place where hospitality feels intuitive, warm, and effortless. Under her leadership, Dao is set to be more than just a stay, it is a space where life unfolds naturally, with all its comforts close at hand.
