Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore begins 2024 with an
overhaul of its hotel programming that will place a premium on wellness
experiences to complement its new MICE and F&B offerings.
The 25-year icon facing Roberston Quay has completed a S$40-million
(US$29.8 million) facelift which includes newly refurbished guest rooms
and meeting rooms. The venue’s 33 meeting rooms span 6,200 sqm over
three floors, where all meeting rooms have LED lighting, natural
sunlight, and the latest AV tech such as 2K-4K high resolution LED video
walls, wireless video signal transmission, and laser projectors. The
850-sqm pillarless Grand Ballroom seats 600 pax for banquets and has two
LED screens which are divisible into smaller screens and junior
ballrooms.
Each guest room is equipped with an Aruba router, a smart room
control thermostat linked via bamboo-card key, and an in-room water
filter system. Average room rates range from S$280-$300 for the lead-in
category before taxes.
As part of its rejuvenation, the riverfront luxury hotel will
introduce a host of strategic partnerships that promote holistic
wellbeing, beginning with a two-day, one night Yoga and Stay for Club
Room guests from 24-25 February 2024.
The hotel has teamed up with Singapore’s first and biggest
alcohol-free bottle shop, Free Spirit for a series of ‘terrace takeover’
activations at the soon-to-launch Riverside Terrace, an al fresco
restaurant-bar which will offer a suite of alcohol-free drinks. Its
first edition of the pop-up with Free Spirit will take place in tandem
with the Yoga & Stay Retreat.

deeply into taking our property up a notch, elevating our programmes,
services, and spaces to cater to our luxury guests’ changing demands.
Our focus on holistic wellness and sustainability will be executed in
