Tower Wing
The original wing of the Shangri-la Hotel, Singapore, the Tower Wing underwent a S$95 million renovation in 1999. The lobby was transformed to include hand-carved oval marble columns and a sweeping staircase that leads to the Rose Veranda, perched one level above the Lobby Court. Four bespoke grand chandeliers spiral downwards to the lobby. The expansive lobby’s new design included majestic art pieces and floor-to-ceiling glass panels that overlook the hotel’s pool and grounds, bringing the beauty of Shangri-la’s famed garden indoors.
The lobbies of Shangri-la hotels around the world are graced by a signature scent that has come to be known as the “Essence of Shangri-la”. This delicate scent is fresh and clean, and is said to evoke sensations of serenity and calm. The safe, non-allergenic, water-based fragrance is gently dispersed by an atomisation system which features antibacterial and anti-smoke benefits as well.
The Tower Wing houses 347 guestrooms with warm and inviting contemporary designs enhanced by curved edges of all the furniture found within. Unlike conventional hotel furniture, every piece within the room has been specially sculpted to create a harmonious
flow within the room without sacrificing functionality. All guestrooms feature a spacious living interior, with a cosy corner to relax in while taking in the view through floorto-ceiling windows.
The Valley Wing is the most exclusive wing of the Shangri-la Hotel, Singapore.

Available arrangements range from airport limousine transfers to finding the perfect sunset-viewing spot. A personalised inroom check-in with beverages and newspaper of choice can be prepared in advance.
Dining promises to be unforgettable as the Valley Wing’s culinary offerings were developed by Chef Christophe Moret, head of the two-michelin starred L’abeille in the Shangri-la Hotel, Paris. From duck foie gras and corn omelette for breakfast, to fourminute boiled egg with caviar and croutons, to rich chocolate marble cakes at afternoon tea to delicate evening canapés, dining at the Valley Wing is truly an extraordinary experience.
