The Mandarin Oriental, Singapore has closed for
a major upgrade.
The luxury hotel, which opened in Singapore’s Marina
Bay area in 1987, will be closed for
six months and is scheduled to re-open in September 2023.
The hotel’s multi-million dollar
transformation is set to take place across all fronts, including a
complete redesign and refitting of the hotel’s interiors, from the
grand lobby to the rooms and F&B outlets.
World renowned interior design firm, Design
Wilkes, the creative force behind Mandarin Oriental’s properties
in Dubai, Bangkok and Tokyo, has been commissioned to lead the
extensive transformation.
The redesign will complement the property’s iconic
architecture, designed by
John C Portman, which left an indelible mark on the Singapore
skyline.
“As the sun set on the
Marina Bay on 7 March, we said farewell to the 527 rooms, seven
food and beverage outlets, full-service luxury spa and many other
facilities that have proudly served our guests for 35 years,” said Philipp Knuepfer,
General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Singapore. “Whilst we are temporarily closed to our guests, we
will focus all our efforts on the transformation of what promises
to be a spectacular new version of Mandarin Oriental, Singapore.
Together with our colleagues, we’re excited to welcome a new era
in which we continue to honour our legacy of outstanding service.”
During the six-month transformation, Mandarin
Oriental, Singapore’s social media platforms will provide regular
peeks into the hotel transformation process.
