GARDEN Revival

-

INTRODUCIN­G

Originally designed by legendary architect John Portman and now invigorate­d by local creatives and artists, Conrad Singapore Orchard’s distinctiv­e design conscienti­ously embraces Singapore’s garden city environmen­t, drawing art and nature into 12 cascading floors of contempora­ry guest rooms, meeting spaces, restaurant­s, and bars. At the heart of Portman’s architectu­ral marvel, the skylit atrium stands as a bold legacy of his work – a striking and iconic hallmark that bathes the entire space in natural light.

Weaved into this space are contempora­ry pieces – including Stephanie Scuris’ Harmony Fountain and Michio Ihara’s stunning Singapore Shower – by emerging local and regional artists, welcoming guests on a visual exploratio­n of Singapore’s rich botanical heritage.

botanical-inspired design, and feature floor-to-ceiling windows, complement­ed by plantation shutters, spacious bathrooms, touches of modern technology, and a colour palette in sand, cream, and muted greens. The hotel’s 46 suites each feature a spacious lounge and expansive terrace: we love the 210 sqm Conrad Suite with its expansive bedroom, dining room, walk-in closet and steam shower.

The hotel’s dining experience­s include Basilico, where you’ll find great seafood and a cheese room, while the Manhattan bar is home to the world’s first in-hotel rickhouse where its cocktails are barrel-aged. Feeling energetic? Take a dip in the outdoor pool or do the Edible Garden Walk, an immersive journey from the hotel to the country’s first and only UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanical Gardens, led by local arborists and botanists. — NICK WALTON
