Shiny new hotels are popping up in Orchard left, right, and centre – with some of the latest openings being The Standard and The Singapore Edition – but old household name St. Regis Singapore isn’t about to lose out on the pie. The hotel along Tanglin Road, which first opened in 2008, has since gotten a timely refresh and now boasts redesigned rooms, in-house F&B venues, ballrooms and more.
With its old New York and European design influences, St. Regis has always possessed a very different sort of charm compared to the average city hotel in the shopping district, and this defining characteristic is thankfully retained amidst the revamp. Trading its previous red-and-gold colour scheme for muted tones of blue and turquoise, its rooms still hold that sense of old world regality, now with an added touch of modern sleekness and sophistication. Spot subtle floral motifs – an ode to its locale near the Botanic Gardens.
Wander over to the new Tea Room for a treat from the Patisserie, or while your time away with an afternoon tea session, where you’ll enjoy a selection of sweet and savoury morsels with free-flow scones, a glass of sparkling tea, and your choice of Taylors of Harrogate tea or Tanamera coffee. The cherry on top? A live harpist playing soft, lilting tunes as you dine in elegance.
St. Regis’ steak and seafood restaurant The Astor Grill has also gotten a luxe makeover with botanical-inspired touches, delicate new chandeliers, a cleaner and lighter colour palette, and lots of natural light, which gives it a glasshouse-like vibe. Similarly, the Astor Bar is presently undergoing a transformation, and its new and improved version will be unveiled in mid-August.
Those planning for upcoming weddings would be glad to know that St. Regis’ ballrooms also sport an updated look.
