Tropical design playground
A glass-fronted terrarium check-in desk sets an energetic tone in a lobby that flows into a stepped tropical garden courtyard.
“The pool, with its striped green-and-white umbrellas, loungers, and The Standard’s first swim-up bar, sets the tone.”
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Mid-century furniture, electric-blue terrazzo motifs, and lush cascading courtyards give Ministry of Design's interior a playful, retro energy.

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and Tatler.
The Standard Singapore brings a jolt of personality to the Orchard Road hotel scene.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked along leafy Orange Grove Road, the hotel sits a short walk from Orchard Road shopping and the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
The rooms
Timber-ribbed canopies curve overhead toward full-height windows, while bathrooms pop with bright yolk-yellow tiles and custom waffle robes.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged loungers line the 40-meter garden lap pool, bordered by candy-striped daybeds and a swim-up bar.
Restaurant
Kaya at The Standard
Botanical wallpaper and caramel leather banquettes set the scene for Japanese izakaya dishes made with regional seafood.
The gardens are the showstopper here. Lush with tropical foliage and wrapped around a long lap pool, they create unexpected moments of drama...
Restaurant
Café Standard
The street-facing bistro serves American comfort classics and spiked milkshakes beneath amber glass pendant lights.
At the table
Guests gather across the warmly lit lounge and bar, bordered by fluted wood columns and floor-to-ceiling glass.
How it began
Built from the ground up on residential Orange Grove Road, the property opened in 2024 with a shifting, lenticular glass facade.
“A harmonious blend of sleek lines and warm textures invites us into the reception area. A visual feast, the reception desk has been transformed into a mesmerising art piece.”
