The Singapore EDITION

Nestled at the pulse of the upper Orchard Road shopping district and ideally located a short walk from the UNESCO-lauded Singapore Botanic Garden, The Singapore EDITION features 204 guestrooms and suites in addition to sophisticated public spaces that include several innovative restaurant and bar concepts, a rooftop pool, spa, gym and versatile meeting spaces.

Firmly rooted in the EDITION brand’s strong sense of refined, timeless design and style, The Singapore EDITION - the first Southeast Asia outpost in the stable - seamlessly blends the dynamism energy of a major metropolitan city with a warm-weather resort sensibility.

Masterminded and conceived by Ian Schrager, in collaboration with interior design firm Cap Atelier, at the core of the architecture and interior design of The Singapore EDITION is seamless access to nature with sweeping vistas and greenery integrated throughout, including a skypark and lushly planted, sunken garden that offers a tranquil escape from Singapore’s bustling Orchard Road shopping district. 

Flanking the soaring white aerie of the lobby and reception is a high vaulted-ceilinged, timber-lined restaurant spearheaded by Josh Niland. Aptly named FYSH at EDITION, this lofty space is the acclaimed Australian restaurateur and multi-award-winning chef and author’s first restaurant outside of Australia. 

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. For those wishing to extend the evening’s libations, an inconspicuous side-door leads to the adjoining Punch Room - EDITION’s signature bar concept.

In every guest room, warm white rugs clad the customised 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, literally, 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.

Equally unforgettable is the second-floor spa whose mood-lit reception leads to 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.

Also on this level is an 81-sqm boardroom which is adjacent to a stunning 340-guest events space whose sprawling 600-sqm pillar-less gallery can be divided into three smaller areas. Lit with diffused natural light, the spaces are equipped with state-of-the-art multi-media technology and floor-to-ceiling glass - ready at a moment’s notice to be transformed for every occasion from a high-octane society wedding to a more formal corporate shareholders’ meeting.

In a hotel already filled with so many unforgettable memories, The Singapore EDITION saves its bravura moment for the swimming pool and rooftop terrace. Accessible via The Roof bar, the pool is framed with languid day beds and stretches a full 43-m from tip-to-tip, seemingly floating like an all-white space vessel over the garden courtyard nine floors below. Here, vast swathes of stone and landscaping create a relaxed, one-of-a-kind outdoor oasis in the sky; though a further surprise awaits swimmers as they dive in and discover that the pool’s white-tiled base is embedded with a transparent acrylic oculus that provides them with surreal views into the garden courtyard far below.

By fusing the indulgent comfort and service of a luxury hotel that is synonymous with the EDITION brand, with the refined glamour and energy of the tropics, the highly anticipated arrival of The Singapore EDITION in the heart of the island-state’s most iconic neighbourhood signals a high-water mark of hospitality.
