The look is still subdued and relatively conservative, but it’s quite contemporary, the surfaces are sparkling, and the electronics… are completely up to date.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Esplanade theatres sit moments away on the waterfront, connected via covered pedestrian links to Marina Square and Suntec.
The rooms
Bay-facing rooms feature dappled batik patterns and steely blue tones, with floor-to-ceiling glass framing the waterfront and skyline.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Cabanas and submerged loungers ring the 25-meter pool, which looks straight across the water toward Marina Bay Sands.
The spa and gym
Spa treatments draw on traditional Chinese medicine, and the 24-hour gym is fitted with Technogym equipment.
Restaurant
embu
Stylized timber canopies shape the botanical dining room, where live cooking stations serve all-day buffets under hanging greenery.
After a 2023 renovation led by award-winning firm DesignWilkes, the classic interiors have been reborn as light, bright spaces…
At the table
MO BAR pours regionally inspired cocktails overlooking the bay, and Cherry Garden serves Cantonese classics in courtyard dining rooms.
How it began
Architect John Portman designed the 1987 concrete structure to mimic the group's fan logo, centered around an expansive atrium.
“this 527-room behemoth has retained its lustre, pairing grandeur with the kind of warmth and intimacy only Mandarin Oriental can deliver.”
