This five-star luxury hotel in Singapore is a verdant urban oasis that offers an atmosphere of modern sophistication with nature’s beauty and sustainable infrastructure at the forefront.
This is an excerpt from Lifestyle Asia’s December 2023/January 2024 Issue.
The Pan Pacific Orchard was designed to be a force of nature. Designed by renowned firm WOHA Architects, the five-star luxury hotel is a heavenly sanctuary conveniently located in Singapore’s famed retail district, Orchard Road. Guests arriving to check in are immediately welcomed to four interconnected sky terraces, breathtakingly enveloped in lush foliage that covers 300% of the hotel’s land area. The rest of the hotel focuses on the idea of “graceful luxury,” defined by tasteful choices that create a flowing atmosphere of refined elegance.

URBAN REFUGE
Set across 23 floors, the hotel is home to 347 rooms and suites, each carefully designed to create a comfortable and luxurious experience for every person that enters the room. Every room offers the choice between king or twin beds, 400-thread-count cotton linen, a sofa and coffee table, a 55” LCD Smart TV, and energy-efficient air-conditioning, punctuated by floor-to-ceiling windows with views of the city or the hotel’s very own verdant gardens.
The bathrooms house a walk-in rain shower and fragrant bath amenities from Diptyque, while the main room offers the use of a Nespresso coffee maker, a selection of teas, and a mini-bar. A particular highlight is the Swisspro hot and ambient water filtration dispenser, along with reusable bottles made with ocean-bound materials to encourage guests to adopt sustainable practices. Rooms with private balconies, lofts, and deluxe two-bedrooms are also available.
Pacific Club Room, Pan Pacific Discovery members, and guests staying in any suite can join the hotel’s Happy Sleepers program for a good night’s rest. This includes a pillow menu to accommodate every kind of sleeper and additional services like in-room meditation, yoga, curated dining options, and spa treatments to make the most of a pleasant stay. Club guests can also enjoy special perks like dedicated check-in and late check-out, as well as exclusive access to the Pacific Club Lounge. Located in the Garden Terrace, the 130-seater is fitted with custom furnishings and counters topped with Italy-treated leathered marble. It’s the perfect private retreat, presenting both indoor and outdoor alfresco spaces that overlook well-manicured lawns and cabanas.
Other dining options include the hotel’s signature restaurant, Mosella, from Executive Chef Pedro Samper, featuring Mediterranean offerings infused with elements of Peruvian cuisine. Indulge in char-grilled meats and signature dishes like the Hamachi Tiradito with a view overlooking the Forest Terrace garden. Guests can also head to the Garden Terrace for oysters and champagne at Florette, the hotel’s destination bar that’s been featured in several best champagne lists, paired amazingly well with some of the season’s freshest oysters.
Dive into the drink menu for cocktails and libations you can’t find anywhere else thanks to the hotel’s partnership with Tanglin Gin to create the exclusive Singapore’s Orchard Gin. The handcrafted alcohol is made in small batches with flavors that evoke Orchard Road’s humble origins as a prosperous nutmeg plantation.
