Sentosa is shaping up to be pretty bougie lately – Raffles Sentosa Singapore, the world’s first Coach Coffee Shop, and Asia’s first Din Tai Fung with a cocktail-tea bar have all opened on the resort island within this year alone. Joining them is The Laurus, an all-suite resort by The Luxury Collection, which just welcomed its first guests this October 2025.
Blending grand colonial charm with tropical flair, the 183-room hotel is decked out in artwork from the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings, orchid arrangements, custom chandeliers with glass laurel leaf designs, and a stunning stained glass piece featuring the Buffy Fish Owl – a bird that’s native to Singapore but now rarely sighted due to its critically endangered status.
Eight types of rooms are available, from deluxe twin suites to the grand presidential suite with a pool view. No matter which you pick, all room categories come with freestanding bathtubs, ‘his’ and ‘hers’ vanity sinks, and separate living and dining areas – making for the perfect luxury-steeped home away from home. Minibar goodies pay homage to local brands: Singapore-inspired blends from Ette tea, a Laurus-exclusive seaweed crisp flavour from Notter Nuts, and artisanal chocolate from the sustainable Mr Bucket Chocolaterie.
Along with the hotel’s opening comes an all-new dining concept, Laurus Table, which dishes out coastal Italian nosh, including wood-fired seafood and grilled delights. There’s also a pool bar, and a lobby lounge serving afternoon tea featuring Pierre Hermé’s confections – so there’s no need to jostle with the crowds at the French celebrity pastry chef’s outlet at the nearby Weave.
Room rates at The Laurus start from $988 per night for the deluxe category, although the presidential suite, the highest tier available, costs upwards of $ 5,488 per night. Find out more about The Laurus and make your booking here.
