A NEW standalone, seafront event centre has opened at Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa in Singapore, offering an answer to the luxury property’s growing requests from corporate clients for unique, outdoor venues.
Named Atmosphere by the Sea, the venue measures 322m2 and comes with a 120m2 covered terrace and an adjoining timber deck of 120m2. These spaces are able to accommodate up to 150 guests altogether.
Events that require even more space can take up the lush, sprawling lawn surrounding Atmosphere by the Sea. According to the hotel’s spokesperson Tina Chia, the lawn can accommodate an additional 100 guests or more for standing cocktails, subject to event layout.
Ben Bousnina, general manager of Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa, told TTGmice e-Weekly the hotel had received frequent requests for outdoor venues in the past, and the new event centre would now be able to satiate that growing demand.
Bousnina noted that the venue’s launch party last Thursday had generated “very good response from our corporate clients”.
“The launch party gave us the chance to showcase how flexible Atmosphere by the Sea could be for our clients’ functions, and we created several themes, such as French and Roman, in various sections of the venue and had different food presentations including a barbeque and an Indian spread,” said Bousnina, adding that the event was planned and executed in-house.
Describing the new venue as one that enjoys a “unique location in Singapore”, Bousnina said: “It will strengthen the idea of hosting events here on the island and (encourage clients) to think of Sentosa as a destination. Instead of taking their events to island destinations like Bali, clients now have an option here on Sentosa.”
With the addition of Atmosphere by the Sea, the hotel now offers 15 function spaces.
