The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore
A modern landmark near Marina Bay, The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore is a stunning 32-story tower complete with seven acres of green space. The hotel is housed in an eye-catching white, rectangular block punctuated by small octagonal windows, designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Kevin Roche.
As evidenced by the Singapore property’s bold design features both inside and out, art plays a major role at the hotel. An impressive art collection, feng shui design elements and chic lounges named for internationally acclaimed artists add to The Ritz-Carlton’s singular style.
A number of popular sites are within walking distance, including Marina Bay’s shops and casino, the Esplanade Theatre, the Suntec Singapore International Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Singapore Flyer Ferris wheel.
Fitness-inclined travelers are in luck — the 24-hour gym was tripled in size in 2016 and now features a movement studio, monkey bars, state-of-the-art cardio equipment, TRX suspension equipment and free weights.
- A 4,200-piece contemporary art collection —
one of the largest in Southeast Asia — graces the Forbes Travel Guide Four-Star
hotel’s public spaces. The impressive array includes works by Andy Warhol,
David Hockney and Dale Chihuly.
- Feng shui plays an important role in the design of the hotel. The octagonal
windows seen throughout The Ritz-Carlton, for example, allude to the auspicious
number eight, while also affording panoramic city views.
- The Tea Salon, situated next to the Summer
Pavilion restaurant, is an often-overlooked but wonderfully peaceful little
nook used mainly as a waiting area. The pristine display of cups, pots, tealeaves
and pouches of Tea Bone Zen Mind brews will tempt you to pick up a savory souvenir.
- The Singapore hotel boasts the first La Mer
partner spa in the Asia-Pacific region. Its glowing blue lights and
sandstone-style walls really make it feel like an aquatic haven.
- The lobby is a bright, open, visually
arresting sight to behold. Be sure to look up at the ceiling, covered in shimmering
mother-of-pearl with a massive cornucopia sculpture suspended in mid-air.
- The property has a prime view of the Singapore
Formula One Grand Prix. The race takes place in September each year, so book
early for a room around that time.
- Among the grandest art statements here are
the pieces by Frank Stella. The installation Cornucopia, suspended above the lobby floor, was inspired by the
shape of a sun visor; Moby Dick was
assembled using 138 pieces of wood.
- Splurge for a Club Level room for exclusive
access to the Club Lounge. A host of amenities includes an artist’s corner
complete with paints, pencils and an easel so you can try your hand at
sketching the Singapore skyline.
- The décor in each room is simple, dominated
by light wood and white hues that are complemented by a large decorative panel
of wood behind the bed.
- Accommodations, which start at a large 550
square feet, come with views of Marina Bay or the Singapore Sports Hub and
Kallang River.
- Marble-clad bathrooms feature deep tubs set
by a large octagonal window, affording you stunning vistas during your sunset
soak.
- Rooms ending in the number 26, the Premier
Suites, have a bathroom that looks right onto the Singapore Flyer, a view that you
won’t forget.
- The Ritz Suite, the hotel’s premier accommodation,
features luxurious touches like Warhol’s “Flower Series” prints, works by
Damian Hirst, a Sonos sound system, an entertainment room with a 79-inch LCD TV
and a six-foot-long Jacuzzi tub.
- Hailed as one of the best Cantonese
restaurants in Singapore, Summer Pavilion is a light, airy and stylish spot for
lunch or dinner. A selection of dim sum is available at midday, but we
recommend opting for the set menu in the evening, featuring dishes like poached
rice with lobster and braised four-head South African abalone.
- A British-colonial inspired ambience
pervades Colony, with rattan chairs and framed archival prints of historic
scenes. Seven different cooking stations offer Western and Asian dishes,
including local favorites like laksa (spicy
noodle soup), chicken rice and bak kut
teh (pork rib in broth).
- Colony serves breakfast, lunch and dinner
daily (as well as a champagne brunch on Sundays), but it is also where
you can enjoy festive holiday meals and special culinary events.
- Dominated by the large Sunrise installation on its wall, the Chihuly Lounge is the place
for cocktails, light bites and the decadent eight-course afternoon tea.
