It was founded by Singaporean businessman Mr Ng Kim Suan in the 1980s and is now managed by his sons and families.

History
The name "Furama" is of Chinese origin (富丽华), which literally translates to prosperity, beauty and grandeur.

The group acquired its first hotel, known today as Furama City Centre, Singapore in 1987.

In 1988, the Ng family bought a strategic stake in Apollo Enterprise Ltd, a publicly listed company on the Singapore Stock Exchange (SGX) and subsequently became a controlling shareholder. Along with this acquisition, the Ng family acquired their 2nd hotel, known today as Furama Riverfront Hotel, Singapore as well as Apollo Centre (known today as Havelock II).

In December 2007, the family sold off Apollo Centre for $205M to US property fund manager AEW Capital management.

The publicly listed entity, Apollo Enterprises, changed name to Furama Ltd in February 2008 and then privatized in March 2010. After the privatization, Furama Ltd was renamed to Furama Pte Ltd.

Sustainability
FHI is committed to sustainable, responsible growth. In Singapore, both Furama hotels have achieved the highest accolade awarded by the Building Construction Authority (BCA) - Green Mark Platinum. BCA's Green Mark is a green building rating system to evaluate a building for its environmental impact and performance.

Furama City Centre is the first hotel in Singapore to have won the Green Mark Platinum award for the Existing Building category in 2009. The development is fitted with a heat recovery system from the air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation system which helps make hot water and save on energy consumption. General cleaning is carried out using bio-enzyme to minimise harm to the environment. To manage waste water in an environmentally friendly way, the water is filtered through a supercapacity grease trap before disposal. These green features help save more than 1 million kWh of energy and more than 17,000 cubic metres of water annually. The group's effort was most recently mentioned in Minister Lawrence Wong's speech at the Singapore Green Building Week Opening Ceremony in 2018

The group's Furama Villas & Spa Ubud property is also home to a new facility named Furama Organic Farm, a 1,800sqm educational attraction.
