A transition following the privatisation of Frasers Hospitality Trust
Chin Fen Eu will step down as CEO of Frasers Hospitality on 1 January 2027 to pursue personal interests, Frasers Property Limited has announced. Over the coming months, she will work alongside the current leadership to ensure a seamless handover.
Her departure comes at the end of a period of restructuring. Frasers Hospitality Trust (FHT) was privatised in 2025, and the optimisation of its portfolio was completed on 30 September 2026. According to the group, with these two milestones achieved, the hospitality platform is now positioned to embark on its next phase of growth.
This follows a more challenging period for the entity: in January 2024, LTH reported on its financial position and the disposals then under consideration.
Governance split between operations and investment
To sharpen operational oversight and support the value of its real estate portfolio, Frasers Property is dividing the leadership of Frasers Hospitality into two distinct units. Both are aligned with the group’s resources and report to its senior management.
Chew Hang Song takes the helm of Frasers Hospitality, the group’s lodging business, as COO, reporting directly to the Group CEO. He will be responsible for global brand management, growing the portfolio through third-party management contracts and driving operational excellence across all properties.
Eric Gan, currently CFO of Frasers Hospitality, takes charge of Hospitality Investment & Asset Management, which now sits within Group Investment. Appointed Managing Director, Group Investment, he will report to Tony Lombardo, Group COO. He will focus on investment strategies and asset portfolio management across hospitality and, more broadly, the living sector.
An operator refocused on third-party management
Analysis – The new organisation formalises the separation between the operator, set to grow through management contracts, and asset ownership, entrusted to the group’s investment teams. This structure brings Frasers Hospitality closer to the models adopted by most major international operators, which decouple hotel performance from the management of the real estate balance sheet.
The group has already stepped up its partnerships in recent months, as illustrated by its agreement with Marriott International to bring The Luxury Collection to Singapore. The Singapore market also remains active on the transactions front, as shown by the acquisition of Capri by Fraser China Square by BlackRock and YTL Hotels for around €229 million.
Fifteen years with the group
Having joined Frasers Property in 2011, Chin Fen Eu played a central role in the strategic growth of Frasers Hospitality. In 2021, LTH reported her appointment as head of Frasers Hospitality Trust.
As CEO, she worked to draw a clearer distinction between the investment and operating platforms, while fostering value creation across the assets by strengthening the link between operational levers and real estate performance. The reorganisation now announced builds on this direction.
Under her leadership, Frasers Hospitality maintained strong industry recognition, notably with its induction into the TTG Travel Hall of Fame in 2025 in the “Best Serviced Residence Operator” category.
