Modern Design and Asian Hospitality at The Singapore EDITION

Location

Situated just off Orchard Road, Singapore’s premier shopping street, the hotel is conveniently close to numerous malls, Michelin-starred restaurants and key sightseeing attractions.

Vibe and crowd

Upon entering The Singapore EDITION, guests are greeted by tropical plants in a sleek white hallway with a dramatic round staircase. A serene indoor garden at the back provides a peaceful retreat with white sofas, while the pink bar and pool table to the left create a lively spot for drinks and socializing. The crowd here consists of EDITION fans, creatives and those who appreciate its unique mix of art, music and fashion.

Rooms

The 204 rooms are both spacious and modern, with a warm and inviting ambiance. They include Le Labo bath amenities, electronically adjustable sheer curtains, blackout shades and external louvers to control sunlight and views. My room featured a delightful welcome amenity: a chocolate sculpture inspired by a piece in the nearby Botanic Gardens, depicting a woman’s face surrounded by chocolate vines and colorful butterflies.

Food

Dining options at the property include signature restaurant FYSH on the ground floor and a rooftop bar. Breakfast at FYSH offers a buffet of hot and cold items along with à la carte choices. The Lobby Bar serves expertly crafted cocktails inspired by scents such as tuberose, ylang-ylang, bergamot and shiso leaf, along with a selection of wines and teas. The Punch Room, a speakeasy-style bar in Yves-Klein blue, offers locally-inspired punch bowls like the popular Bukit Merah Punch, a blend of gin, mezcal, tamarind and banana inspired by local folklore.

Amenities

The Singapore EDITION features a renowned rooftop pool with a glass bottom that offers unique views of the garden below. Sunscreen is provided, and the rooftop bar also serves the pool area. The pool is family-friendly and long enough for laps. The second floor houses a well-equipped gym with TechnoGym machines, free weights and kettlebells. The spa offers thermal pools, an ice fountain, sauna, steam rooms, treatment rooms and a serene relaxation lounge.

Sustainability

The Singapore EDITION embodies modern luxury with a strong commitment to sustainability. From the custom Le Labo scent in the hallways to the zero-waste bar in the lobby, every aspect of the hotel reflects a sophisticated, eco-conscious ethos. They reduce food waste by curating breakfast options based on data and guest feedback, offering a personalized and sustainable dining experience.

Chef Josh Niland, known for his sustainable approach, provides a dining experience at FYSH that is both delicious and mindful. By utilizing 95% of the fish, Niland showcases his dedication to reducing waste while elevating the guest experience with innovative, sustainable cuisine.

What I loved about The Singapore EDITION

I was instantly charmed by The Singapore EDITION's blend of modern design and traditional Asian hospitality. My garden-view Superior King was a dream, with stunning views, a stylish bathtub and luxurious Le Labo amenities.

I enjoyed the lively social spaces, like the indoor garden and the rooftop pool with its glass bottom was one of the highlights for me, offering a unique view of the garden below. Plus, the well-equipped gym and spa made my stay even more enjoyable.
