The Garden City of Singapore has enchanted travellers for decades, with its superlative skyscrapers, abundant greenery and thriving food scene. At every turn, visitors are greeted with a harmonious blend of captivating culture, vibrant colours and tantalising flavours. Set your compass to the city’s shopping and residential district of Orchard Road and you will find the show-stopping, megastructure of Artyzen Singapore.
Set on thesite of the former tropical-garden mansion known as Villa Marie — the former home of avid botanist Tan Hoon Siang, the great grandson of Singapore’s well-known philanthropist, Tan Tock Seng — the towering property encompasses 142 spacious rooms and suites, all replete with luxurious bathrooms as well as balconies decked out in plants and vegetation. Imagined by award-winning design studio Nic Graham & Associates, interiors take inspiration from Villa Marie’s colonial designs to showcase contemporary raw concrete elements, archways, tranquil gardens, courtyards and covered walkways; a perfect combination of nature and modernity when it’s time to shelter from the heaving metropolis outside.
To tease your taste buds, pay a visit to three enticing venues. You can delve into contemporary Asian cuisine at Quenino by Victor Liong. Derived from the term ‘little one’ in Malaccan Creole Portuguese, Quenino pays homage to the region’s culinary traditions. For those searching for an Instagrammable setting and delicious fare, Café Quenino serves up eclectic, casual breakfasts in the morning before transforming into a cocktail bar and the ideal place for a post-work hang in the evening.
If incredible panoramas of West Orchard Road and the verdant Bukit Timah Nature Reserve tickle your fancy, alongside signature cocktails and delicious snacks, head for the hotel's sky high sanctuary, The Roof Garden.
Here, you can also enjoy a dip in the mesmorising rooftop ‘floating pool’, a 25-metre cantilevered, infinity pool with a partial glass bottom and underwater speakers that create the perfect vibe.
Make sure to spend some time on rejuvenation during your stay at the Wellness & Workout space. At The Spa, high-frequency techniques and therapeutic treatments combine to restore balance of mind, body and soul, while the gym is fitted out with premium Technogym equipment. You can even take your workout to the next level by enjoying a personalised fitness session. And don’t forget to take advantage of your city centre location, with Orchard Road’s shopping centres and Singapore Botanic Gardens, the first UNESCO Heritage site in the country, only moments away.
