Located at the gateway to Singapore’s central business district, Hong Lim Park and Chinatown, the 367-room Parkroyal on Pickering hotel provides an urban oasis in downtown Singapore, with convenient access to waterfront entertainment and dining options along the Singapore River as well as cultural attractions across the island.
Designed by internationally-acclaimed local architectural firm, Woha, Parkroyal on Pickering boasts over 160,000sq ft of lush four-storey high sky-gardens, reflecting pools, waterfalls, planter terraces and cascading vertical greenery, amounting to twice its land area.
The hotel breaks new ground by introducing the state’s first solar-powered sky-gardens. Amongst its other energy conservation features are the use of automatic light, rain and motion sensors, rain harvesting and NEWater (recycled water). Nature-inspired materials and textures such as light and dark wood, pebbles, water, and glass are used throughout the design of the hotel.
The 367 elegantly-furnished guest rooms and suites offer spectacular views of the city and the hotel’s sky-gardens. A soothing colour palette of calm greens and natural wood, accented with abundant light, provides a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere for the guests throughout their stay.
All rooms feature complimentary hi-speed internet connectivity and a well-stocked executive bar. Higher-graded rooms also include Nespresso coffee machines, rain showers, bathtubs and designer ergonomic chairs.
Guest rooms offer breathtaking views of the city and come equipped with light and motion sensors for energy conservation. With no place in the hotel more than 26ft from a window, the design maximises the amount of natural light, truly bringing the outside in.
Lime, the hotel’s signature open-kitchen concept, all-day dining restaurant, serves up a diverse range of Asian flavours and contemporary international favourites in lively theatrical fashion. Housed within the restaurant is a street-level bar, an ideal place to relax and unwind with a variety of classic cocktails, specialty wines and tapas-style snacks.
Set outdoors amidst landscaping and waterfalls, the fifth floor is a dedicated wellness space which incorporates fitness and recreational facilities including an infinity pool overlooking the city, jacuzzi, fitness centre, outdoor terrace and a 300m garden walk. Colourful birdcage-shaped cabanas are positioned around the pool area, providing comfortable chill-out spaces. The award-winning St Gregory spa offers signature therapies and a wide range of luxurious body and beauty treatments.
The exclusive Orchid Club Lounge, located at the top level of the hotel, commands 360° views of the city skyline.
The pillar-less William Pickering ballroom, with elegant floor-to-ceiling glass walls, provides a beautiful natural light-filled setting for weddings and other special events.
General manager David Sullivan says: “Our team of knowledgeable and passionate associates are excited to build upon the green architectural foundations of Parkroyal on Pickering to promote sustainable hotel operations and management practices in Singapore.”
