Following a multimillion-dollar asset enhancement programme spanning nine months across key facilities within the hotel, Orchard Hotel has unveiled an enhanced 360° guest experience with reimagined dining, events and lodging offerings. Upgraded areas include the hotel’s 260 Grand Deluxe Rooms, Grand Ballroom, Conference Centre, Lobby, The Orchard Cafe, and Bar Intermezzo. 

The storied history of Orchard Hotel traces back to the late 1950s, where it began as a humble four-storey, 34-room hotel, complete with The Golden Venus, home to popular tea dances and emerging musicians of the 1960s. Redeveloped in the 1970s to cater to the tourist boom, the old building was eventually demolished in 1978, and the first inkling of the 656-key, twin-tower Orchard Hotel Singapore as it exists today took its place.

General Manager Mr Jean-Philippe Jacopin said, “With such a rich history and iconic address in the heart of Singapore’s renowned shopping and entertainment belt, we needed a hotel that can continue to stand the test of time. Our team, from front-of-house to back-of-house, has been working tirelessly day and night to make this enhancement a success, all while never turning away a single guest.”

Polished Public Spaces

A brand new arrival experience welcomes guests through an enlivened lobby interior. The hotel’s iconic clock tower is now brought to the modern age with a contemporary chandelier-inspired art sculpture, and flanked by two upgraded F&B destinations, The Orchard Cafe and Bar Intermezzo. Overlooking the lobby from the second floor is Cantonese fine dining stalwart Hua Ting Restaurant, which was also given its own extensive makeover in 2018.

Exclusive Events

New and improved event solutions for every occasion come on the back of 11 refurbished conference and function rooms and spaces – now each more versatile than ever. A key highlight includes one of Singapore’s largest pillar-free ballrooms. Occupying over 10,000 square feet and six metres high, it has been refitted with a luxurious new look, including two floor-to-ceiling LED walls which are a first in Singapore, statement lighting, state-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities, an impressive foyer lined with floating orchid-inspired chandeliers, and exclusive spaces carved out for various uses.

The conference centre has also been redesigned with five intimate meeting rooms and upgraded meeting facilities. Event planners also have creative catering options from the hotel’s four award-winning culinary concepts – Hua Ting Restaurant, The Orchard Cafe, Mon Bijou and Bar Intermezzo – as well as a Halal-certified kitchen.

New Grand Deluxe Rooms

260 Grand Deluxe guest rooms in the hotel’s Orchard Wing have also been given a facelift. With today’s sophisticated traveller at heart, the newly refurbished rooms are now equipped with upgraded amenities. These include a Handy smartphone that offers unlimited mobile data to make local and select international calls, six USB ports and both wired and wireless high-speed internet connectivity, and a Smart TV.

Guests can also unwind after a long day – put on a bath in the luxurious Japanese soaking tub (available in select room configurations) or call for one of 12 signature spice-based cocktails from Bar Intermezzo to be delivered right to your room.
