An extension of the Hotel’s wellness space is the Chi Longevity Clinic, a medically licensed clinic offering assessments and personalised intervention plans to slow down biological ageing.

Guest rooms

The Hotel’s refreshed guest rooms and luxury themed suites consist of contemporary interiors that feature a natural colour palette of dusty cool blue tones and lime green accents, inspired by the water and tropical lotus leaves of the Singapore Botanic Garden’s Swan Lake. Each room also features a mural wall composition of traditional Peranakan tiles, adding an artistic touch of Singapore’s rich and multicultural heritage. Peranakan culture represents the union between two or more major ethnicities of the Straits Peninsula – a result of Singapore’s historical significance as a major trading port. Large floor-to-ceiling windows provide sweeping views of the city and surrounding greenery, with white colonial-style doors and windows with plantation shutters, reminiscent of Singapore’s once-agricultural history, allowing the natural light to brighten the rooms.

Luxury-themed suites

Comprising four distinctive residences – the Royal Suite, Governor Suite, Ambassador Suite and the Presidential Suite – the quartet of luxury suites unfurl Singapore’s legacy through subtle design motifs, natural textures and serene palettes of sophistication that portrays and acknowledges the Garden City’s dynamic, cosmopolitan storied history. The Hotel’s suites allow a connecting set to be arranged, transforming them into a two-bedroom abode, if needed.

Relax amid the tropical splendour of the Royal Suite cloaked in neutrals and verdant green, and dressed in cane, grass-cloth and linen complete with local palm, fruit and animal motifs in artworks and accessories, or in the warm, wood-inspired glow of the Governor Suite. Imbibe the heritage and cultural rich tapestry evident in the elegant Ambassador Suite and the stately Presidential Suite, inspired by colonial Singapore when black and white photographs were de rigueur, complete with a breath-taking view of the Orchard Boulevard from the 19th floor.
