If the last time you stepped into Goodwood Park Hotel was for its yearly anticipated Durian Fiesta buffet or a wedding at Min Jiang – not for a stay – perhaps it’s time to give the historic hotel a revisit.
With sleeker, modern entrants like The Standard, The Singapore Edition, and Mama Shelter all emerging along the Orchard Road stretch lately, it’s understandable that the historic Goodwood Park might have fallen off your staycation radar. First built more than 125 years ago as a club for German expats, the grand hotel is now a gazetted national monument – with much of its postcard-worthy architecture retained. For a good number of years, its rooms have also kept their old-timey vibe, which some might now find dated.
But that’s all set to change with the recent revamp of the hotel’s Mayfair Wing, which reopened in February 2026 with 77 rooms. There’s still a nod to the hotel’s colonial past – it would after all be criminal to strip that away – but the present vibe is now more ‘quiet luxury’, less ‘grandma’s bedroom’. A light, earthy colour palette keeps things simple yet sophisticated, while framed black-and-white photographs, sisal rugs, and accessories like lamps and gilded mirrors add a touch of character and charm. Perfect for those who are still well into their Bridgerton era.
Those who’ve swung by for the highly praised afternoon tea at L'Espresso would have gotten an eyeful of the main lap pool. But what many don’t know is that there’s another Balinese-style pool tucked further within the premises. All the Mayfair rooms either look out to this calming scene or the lush greenery-laden surroundings. On top of that, each one has its own private balcony and an ensuite with a bathtub. It’s a rare slice of resort-like tranquillity in the heart of the ever-busy shopping belt.
Goodwood Park Hotel’s Mayfair rooms start from $308 per night. Find out more and make your booking here.
