The Singapore EDITION

The Singapore EDITION  is the first Southeast Asia outpost for the brand.

Masterminded and conceived by Ian Schrager, in collaboration with interior design firm Cap Atelier, the 204-room hotel is located just off the west end of Singapore’s upper Orchard Road.

 Accessed from Cuscaden Road, the hotel’s main entrance, with its cobbled stone driveway opens into a private, white-hued oasis that feels away from the bustle of upper Orchard Road.

Ian Schrager shares, “It was a thrill for us to do a hotel in Singapore and to come up with a project as sophisticated and beautiful as the city itself.”

The Singapore EDITION offers greenery integrated throughout, including a skypark and lushly planted, sunken garden.

From the lobby, a sculpted, white Venetian plaster staircase spirals elegantly down to the garden courtyard level to a dramatic bar lounge, ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a late-evening cocktail.

There is, of course, a Punch Room – EDITION’s signature bar concept  Lined with oak panels on the walls and ceilings, a sculptural blue ceiling pendant designed by the Parisian artist Eric Schmitt, and a stone fan-shaped floor mosaic, the space is based on a classic London gentleman’s club. The bar serves a unique punch cocktail menu inspired by Southeast Asian spices and imaginative bar snacks.

In every guest room, warm white rugs clad the customized white oak-planked floors while decorative pots of orchids and thick drapes frame the broad bay windows. The rooms also feature deep-seated sofas, and hand-sewn damask throws that swathe the beds. Temperatures are kept cool with layers of curtain sheers, black-out shades, and white exterior louvres that can be electronically adjusted to filter the sun while providing both views and privacy.

The second-floor spa has seven treatment rooms, his-and-her changing suites that feature sunken vitality thermal pools, an ice fountain, relaxation lounge, sauna and steam room, alongside a gym furnished with high-performance weights and exercise equipment.

At the hotel’s heart is an expansive timber-decked garden courtyard with a perimeter of shallow, black-tiled pools and a lush green garden.

Accessible via The Roof bar, the pool is framed with day beds and stretches a full 43-m from tip-to-tip. A surprise awaits swimmers as they discover that the pool’s white-tiled base is embedded with a transparent acrylic oculus that provides them with views into the garden courtyard below.

The Singapore EDITION opened in preview on 9 November 2023. The hotel offers an exclusive opening preview rate, available for a limited time only. Room rates start from SGD$680+++ per room, per night. Points redemptions start from 40,000 points.
