Hilton (NYSE:
HLT) announces the highly anticipated opening of Conrad Singapore
Orchard, its second Conrad Hotels & Resorts property in Singapore,
following extensive reinvention and refurbishment. Nestled within an exclusive
enclave of Orchard Road and surrounded by lush greenery, Conrad Singapore
Orchard is an urban oasis that effortlessly encapsulates the essence of
locality and luxury.
“The
growth of our award-winning Conrad Hotels & Resorts brand underscores our
commitment to expanding our luxury portfolio in the most inspiring destinations
around the region. Known for its strategic connectivity and vibrant culture,
Singapore is a hub for global explorers whether on leisure or business. With
the official debut of Conrad Singapore Orchard, we look forward to working with
our long-standing and valued partners at Pontiac Land Group to further elevate
luxury hospitality in this truly international city,” said Alan
Watts, president, Asia Pacific, Hilton.
Originally
designed by legendary architect John Portman and 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. Contemporary pieces by emerging local and
regional artists thread through every nook, welcoming guests on a visual
exploration of Singapore’s rich botanical heritage through its thoughtfully
curated art collection.
Globally
renowned sculptures, like Stephanie Scuris' Harmony Fountain and Michio Ihara's
stunning Singapore Shower, add a touch of timelessness to the surroundings.
“The
hotel has always been a hallmark of luxury hospitality and will continue to be
well positioned with these extensive enhancements to uplift the guest
experience. We have had an exceptional relationship with Hilton for close to 30
years and following the outstanding success of the first Conrad in Singapore,
we are confident that Conrad Singapore Orchard will achieve similar
unprecedented excellence”, said David Tsang, chief executive officer,
Pontiac Land Group.
Nature
Inspired Living and Residential-Style Stays
Conrad
Singapore Orchard’s 445 newly imagined guest rooms blend refined residential
living with botanical-inspired design. Floor-to-ceiling windows, complemented
by plantation shutters, invite nature from the outdoors in. The spaces are
infused with tranquillity, featuring serene hues and natural tones in sand,
cream, and muted greens, and are accented by signature palm motifs and potted
tropical trees. Each guestroom features prints by Singaporean artists,
capturing the city's charm through illustrations of native flora.
The
hotel’s 46 suites each feature a spacious lounge and expansive terrace,
including the pinnacle of the Conrad Suite: spanning 210 square meters, it
features a primary bedroom with lavish amenities, complete with a walk-in
closet and a steam shower, a generous living and entertainment area, a
kitchenette and a dining room for eight. It also connects to two separate guest
rooms, each with its individual entrance.
The
hotel boasts three tranquil spaces for relaxation and contemplation: an outdoor
pool nestled amidst verdant alcoves, a well-equipped fitness centre for mindful
exercise, and an Executive Lounge with serene balconies. Fourteen event venues,
including the grand Royal Pavilion Ballroom of 583 square meters, provide
variety and versatility for meetings, celebrations and weddings.
Authentic
Connection to Self and Surroundings
Guided
by the brand’s commitment to redefining luxury through impactful experiences,
Conrad Singapore Orchard curates purposeful interactions and genuine
explorations that allow travelers to connect deeply with both themselves and
the destination.
"Introducing
Conrad Singapore Orchard as our second Conrad hotel in Singapore expands the
choices for both visitors and locals to immerse themselves in the vibrant
tapestry of the city. Amidst this, they can savor our personalized approach to
artful and authentic hospitality,” said Dino Michael, senior vice
president and global head, Hilton Luxury Brands.
Experiences
at Conrad Singapore Orchard include 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,
guests will uncover edible botanicals that define the Singaporean landscape
while nurturing a profound connection with nature.
A
signature Sleep-to-Wake Ritual transforms the nightly turndown into a mindful
experience. This includes a calming pre-sleep tea crafted from local
botanicals, an in-room guided sound bath to relax the mind and body, and an
extensive pillow menu that provides tailored comfort for serene slumbers and
rejuvenating resets. The Morning Intention Session by the pool features modern
fitness and wellness classes.
A
Discovery of Gastronomy and Bold Artistry
Conrad
Singapore Orchard’s 10 restaurants and bars are connected by a focus on
authenticity. The bold artistry of the hotel’s culinary and bartending team is
shared with guests through the selection of crafted experiences,
behind-the-scenes tasting tours and workshops.
Basilico is
a vibrant communal destination with an Italian soul, serving fresh and seasonal
Italian cuisine complemented by a modern vermouth and cocktail bar.
Michelin-starred Summer Palace stands as a testament to the artistry
of Cantonese cuisine elevated to sophisticated heights. Meanwhile, Manhattan,
lauded among the world's best bars and home to the world's first in-hotel
rickhouse where its specialty cocktails are barrel-aged, transports guests to
New York’s Golden Age of cocktails and fine drinking. Tea Lounge showcases
afternoon teas that spotlight regional botanicals with English and local
specialities, while Dolcetto offers a casual day-to-night Italian
