ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay, a Pan Pacific Hotels Group property, has reopened its doors following a £25 million phased renovation.
Originally designed by neo-futuristic American architect, John Portman, and formerly known as Marina Mandarin, the 21-storey hotel has been redesigned to incorporate several biophilic features within one of South East Asia’s largest indoor atriums.
The project’s key attractions include the four-storey-high ‘Sky-Bridge’ where guests can marvel at the lush forest canopy and enjoy an immersive treetop walk experience. Pavilions, inspired by birds’ nests, are ensconced in the forest canopy, providing enclaves for guests to relax in.
An eco-paradise, the hotel intertwines luxurious landscapes with the iconic backdrop of soaring cinematic architecture. Featuring 370 square metre of lush gardens and a 13-metre high green wall, the hotel is home to over 2,400 trees, scrubs, and groundcovers that function as natural air purifiers.
Elsewhere, the hotel’s focus on sustainability is evident in new water-filter systems, reusable glass water bottles and amenities packaged in biodegradable materials.
The food and beverage offering comprises three culinary experiences: Peppermint, a farm-to-table concept serving local and international cuisine; Peach Blossoms, a modern Cantonese restaurant led by award-winning chef Edward Chong; and Atrium Lounge, a revamped garden oasis featuring signature cocktails and over 90 whisky labels from across the world.
In terms of wellness and recreation, the hotel includes a state-of-the-art gym, featuring two studios, as well as a mineral-water swimming pool.
“The reopening of this enthralling Singapore hotel and its extensive redesign is a testament to our continued commitment to sustainable hospitality and our focus on iconic design,” says Melvin Lim, General Manager at ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay. “As Singapore’s first ‘garden-in-a-hotel’, we want our brand’s ethos to resonate with both local and international visitors and inject vibrancy to the Marina Bay area.”
