The St. Regis Singapore Completes Multi-Phase Renovation, Elevating Guestrooms, Dining, and Event Spaces with Sustainability and Modern Luxury
Long-heralded as one of the city’s most aristocratic addresses, The St. Regis Singapore is pleased to announce the completion of its extensive, multi-phase renovation. From beautifully appointed guestrooms, signature restaurants and bar to bespoke event spaces, this transformation ushers in a brilliant new chapter for the House of Astor.
Helmed by award-winning design studio FBEYE International, the renovation draws inspiration from the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Singapore Botanic Gardens. The new design seamlessly combines nature and modern luxury, as botanical greens, light blues, and floral motifs are skillfully blended with natural textures across the newly revamped 299 guest rooms and suites. This harmonious blend results in a sense of serene comfort, with guests enjoying a fresh and modern residential experience within the heart of Singapore.
Sustainability at the Heart of the Renovation
Sustainability takes center stage in the redesign, with eco-conscious features integrated throughout the hotel. Motion-activated LED lighting and potable water taps in each room reflect the hotel’s commitment to sustainable practices, aligning with the St. Regis brand’s eco-friendly ethos. The use of bespoke furnishings, including crystal-cut glass lamps, enhances the atmosphere of refined comfort, ensuring that every detail reflects luxury while being mindful of the environment.
Dining Evolution at The St. Regis Singapore
The renovation introduces a refreshed culinary landscape with three exciting new dining concepts that showcase modern sophistication while honoring the hotel’s legendary heritage.
Sophia: A Taste of Italy’s Craftsmanship
Sophia, the hotel’s newest dining venue, celebrates authentic Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. Under the leadership of Chef de Cuisine Angelo Sergio, Sophia offers an exquisite menu that spans 11 regions of Italy, featuring dishes like Tagliatelle Atavi e Porcini and Bistecca alla Fiorentina. Guests can indulge in the time-honored Tiramisu passed down through Executive Chef Fabio Granata’s family, paired with a curated selection of over 70 Italian wines.
The Sunday Brunch at Sophia adds an extra layer of charm with a mozzarella bar, gelato cart, Tiramisu cart, and free-flow R de Ruinart Brut Champagne, all complemented by live jazz music, embodying the essence of la dolce vita in Singapore.
The St. Regis Bar: Manhattan Glamour Reimagined
The newly redesigned St. Regis Bar pays tribute to early 20th-century Manhattan, infusing it with a modern spirit. The bar’s Time After Time cocktail menu, crafted by Head Bartender Kelvin Saquilayan, takes guests on a sensorial journey through five decades, combining elements of New York and Singapore. Signature drinks include the Merlion Sling, Disco-tea-que, and The Straits Mary, a local twist on the St. Regis Bloody Mary with a distinctive Bak Kwa bourbon infusion.
The bar’s elegant interiors, made of brass, marble, and rich woods, create an intimate, sophisticated atmosphere. A striking birdcage-inspired back bar serves as a focal point, adding character to the space.
The Tea Room: A Modern Sanctuary for Afternoon Tea
A refined version of the St. Regis Afternoon Tea experience, first introduced by Mrs. Caroline Astor in 19th-century New York, The Tea Room redefines this tradition with inspiration drawn from the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The tranquil setting, enhanced by mirrored panels and floral hues, creates an idyllic environment for enjoying afternoon tea. Guests are treated to a personalized experience with a tea sommelier brewing selections tableside and a scone trolley offering unlimited scones with assorted jams and clotted cream.
Additionally, the Patisserie offers a selection of gourmet takeaways, including delicate viennoiseries and artisan cakes, complemented by locally roasted coffee and sustainably sourced teas.
A Reimagined Venue for Celebrations: The John Jacob Ballroom
The John Jacob Ballroom, with its newly redesigned interiors, continues to stand as one of Singapore’s premier venues for grand events. The ballroom, spanning 7,638 square feet, is illuminated by two skylights, allowing natural light to fill the pillarless space. Elegant crystal floral chandeliers, vine motifs, and a carpet palette inspired by citrus and sage infuse the space with a graceful, garden-like ambience.
The ballroom has also been outfitted with state-of-the-art technology, including two new LED walls and intelligent lighting systems, ensuring that it can seamlessly adapt to both social and corporate occasions. The adjacent pre-function bar in the foyer enhances the experience for distinguished guests.
Expanding Meeting and Event Spaces
In addition to the ballroom, the hotel now features five newly refurbished meeting rooms on Level 1, offering dynamic spaces for more intimate events. These rooms can accommodate groups of 20 to 80 people and include a pre-function area with an operable bar and coffee trunks, perfect for elevating event cocktails and coffee breaks.
