MICHELIN Guide
Vibe
A glass terrarium check-in desk greets guests before opening onto a stepped garden courtyard filled with bright sculptures and retro lounge seating.
“Retro-tropical garden playground”
Interiors by Ministry of Design feature an oversized terrarium reception desk and timber-ribbed bedroom canopies.
Evenings center on the swim-up pool bar, Kaya Bar highballs, and lively Monday social hours.
Curated minibars stock chili crab snacks, alongside installations by Singaporean artist Samuel Xun in the courtyard.
On leafy Orange Grove Road, a brief shuttle ride from Orchard Road shopping and the Botanic Gardens.
Rooms
Timber-ribbed canopies curve overhead from the headboards, paired with floor-to-ceiling glass and bright yolk-yellow tiled bathrooms.
Wellness
Submerged loungers and striped parasols frame the second-floor swimming pool, which features a lively swim-up cocktail bar.
Backstory
Built ground-up on Orange Grove Road, the project brought together Singaporean studio Ministry of Design and DP Architects.
Eat & drink
Kaya serves modern izakaya fare beneath an embroidered floral mural, while the sultry Kaya Bar pours over twenty highball variations.
The neighborhood
Set on low-rise Orange Grove Road, the hotel sits ten minutes on foot from Orchard Road shopping and the Singapore Botanic Gardens.
“Behind its shifting, textured façade, you will find a tongue-in-cheek take on tropical glam: poolside cabanas with a swim-up bar, balloon sculptures on your pillow, and yolk-yellow tiled bathrooms.”
