The elegant InterContinental Singapore now
tantalises guests with a more pronounced local touch and brighter interiors following the completion of its major five-year renovation project.
A new concierge lounge in the lobby, furnished with plush couches and armchairs, a stately reception desk that resembles the study of a well-travelled individual and artefacts that reflect Singapore’s diverse culture, provide a warm welcome. All 316 tower rooms and suites have been given soothing interiors in cream, gold and blue, elaborate Peranakan detailing, as well as beautiful statement furniture. Extensive work was also done to the lobby lounge, a popular spot for high teas and tête-à-tête, and all-day-dining restaurant Ash & Elm (formerly The Olive Tree).
Through a series of six showcases, the hotel has demonstrated how its refreshed spaces can be utilised for private business events. The renovated Presidential Suite – said to be the largest of its kind among Singapore hotels at 259m2 – has been a popular choice for high-level, intimate corporate gatherings. – Karen Yue
