In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
A private underground walkway leads straight into the Greenbelt complex, and the Ayala Museum is a short stroll away.
The rooms
Every suite has dark hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and a marble bathroom with a deep soaking tub.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An outdoor swimming pool with bright blue tiles sits on a timber deck flanked by palms and a poolside bar.
The spa
Timber treatment rooms and mineral baths fill the 1,200-square-meter spa, where therapists use Kerstin Florian botanicals.
Restaurant
Mirèio
The ninth-floor French brasserie looks out over the skyline, with royal blue banquettes, vibrant murals, and Sunday brunches.
Long Bar
Overhead punkah fans spin above a long timber counter serving classic Singapore Slings and local variations with gold flakes.
At the table
Breakfast and international buffets are served around illuminated show kitchens behind gold geometric screens.
How it began
Bent Severin International designed the interiors in 2013, translating historic Raffles heritage into a sleek modern tower.
