M Hotel Singapore City Centre Honours Its People

M Hotel Singapore City Centre marked two occasions in May 2026 that recognise the people behind the guest experience: International Receptionist Day and International HR Day.

International Receptionist Day, 13 May 2026

They are the first to say welcome and the last to wish guests a safe journey home. On International Receptionist Day, the hotel celebrated its Front Office team, whose professionalism and warmth shape memorable stays. Beyond checking guests in and out, receptionists ease travel worries, share dining recommendations, and remember personal preferences. As a token of appreciation, the team was treated to a bubble tea break.

Dance Nights and Match Nights at M Social Hotel New York Times Square

This season, M Social Hotel New York Times Square offers two ways to gather above the city: a monthly Latin dance night at Beast & Butterflies Times Square, and a rooftop Summer of Soccer for match days.

Buena M Social Club

Buena M Social Club is a social dance experience hosted at Beast & Butterflies Times Square, held on the second Wednesday of each month from 7PM to 10PM. Each edition opens with complimentary salsa instruction from 7PM to 8PM, followed by live percussion and a DJ. The format brings together hotel guests and locals for an evening of culture and connection, and following a successful debut, it continues to reinforce the hotel as a social hub.

Copthorne Hotel Slough-Windsor Steps Up for Earth Day

On 22 April 2026, the team at Copthorne Hotel Slough-Windsor marked Earth Day by stepping outside and taking direct action to care for their local environment, coming together for a litter-picking initiative across the surrounding area.
