Grand Copthorne Waterfront has completed its S$30 million (US$22.3
million) renovation which encompasses all 574 guest rooms and suites
with sustainable features, greater conference facilities, and upgraded
event spaces.
As one of the largest event spaces among Singapore hotels with over
6,200 sqm across three floors, the hotel’s Premier Waterfront Room has
an in-room filtered drinking water dispenser and floor-to-ceiling
windows to capture natural sunlight.
The hotel, which is part of Millennium Hotels and Resorts (MHR), has
infused sustainability as a core focus across its entire ecosystem. MHR
executive director, Kwek Eik Sheng said, “This is a timely refresh for
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, particularly as MICE travel resumes
normalcy and in-person events return to the agenda. As more companies
prioritise Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals to reduce
impact, the demand for greener events has also increased with corporate
planners preferring hotels with strong sustainability features and
initiatives.
“We are well positioned to capture this fast-growing MICE market,
increase our competitive edge, and reinforce Singapore’s status as a
leading sustainable MICE destination for a strong business recovery.”

electricity and water consumption, eco-friendly features such as in-room
water dispensers, and installed new wall coverings and carpets from
recycled materials. It is also engaged in sustainable sourcing,
recycling, and food waste management.
Its 33 function rooms come with modern LED lighting, and are
ensconced in natural sunlight through large windows, housing recyclable
and biodegradable stationery, filtered drinking water, linen-less table
setup, wireless video signal transmission, laser projectors, and 2K to
4K high-resolution LED video walls for seamless and successful events.

Sustainability focussed
The in-room water filtration system in guest rooms offers purified
drinking water, reducing single-use plastic waste generated from
traditional bottled water consumption by 20%.
New smart room control thermostats regulate room temperatures
according to guest preferences, leading to energy savings of up to 17%,
ensuring a comfortable stay and promoting responsible energy
consumption.
Wireless bedside charging technology provides guests a seamless
charging experience for electronic devices without cumbersome cables.
High-definition smart TVs allow guests to stream their favourite
movies directly from their smartphones, reducing the need for additional
devices and contributing to a more sustainable entertainment
experience.
Enhanced culinary experiences
Food Capital is a spacious all-day dining buffet restaurant; TEMPO
Bar & Grill is a cocktail bar with an alfresco dining with a
selection of barbeque and grilled seafood treats; and Grand Shanghai
serves Shanghainese fare.
The hotel’s three kitchens include a Halal-certified kitchen. The
Executive Club Lounge, located on Level 29, has undergone a
transformation, featuring contemporary living room ambiance that
complements views of Singapore’s cityscape for "My Millennium Prestige"
members and Club Floor paying guests.
