Grand Hyatt Singapore to reopen after major revamp

Grand Hyatt Singapore will be opening its doors on 10 July, nearly two years since it closed in September 2022 for renovations.

This multi-million-dollar facelift has resulted in a top-to-bottom overhaul of the property, adding more guestrooms and pivoting to a central focus on holistic wellness.

The 699-key luxury hotel will unveil its new look in stages, starting with the launch of the nature-inspired Terrace Wing in July, while the rooms and suites will reopen in stages across this and next year. The Grand Wing will open by early 2025.

Grand Hyatt Singapore is expected to be fully open by 2025.

Grand meeting spaces for greater connections

Grand Hyatt Singapore will feature 16 venues that cover over 5,100 sqm of event space across three levels:

Located on level 1M, The Gallery takes inspiration from modern contemporary art spaces, with a ballroom, loft kitchen, lounge, and two Ateliers – one of which offers a private VIP holding room – in an 826-sqm space.

Level 2 has seven unique meeting rooms over 1,500 sqm, and The Grand Salon features advanced lighting capabilities as well as a Skyfold retractable wall to unveil an impressive show kitchen for unique experiences.

Level 3 is the grandest yet, with 2,786 sqm that comprise of two thematic ballrooms, five meeting rooms, spacious foyer areas, and two loft kitchens. The Grand Ballroom features extended digital canvas walls for a distinct visual element, while the Grand Residence brings in natural daylight and colour-changing lattice walls for lasting impressions.

Serious about dining and sustainability

Reopening in August 2024 are Oasis, featuring all-day poolside dining on Orchard Road with BBQ, cocktails, and live DJ music; and StraitsKitchen for local ethnic cuisine. Pete’s Place, a beloved icon since 1973, will return with its classic Italian cuisine of familiar comforts.

Debuting in October 2024, Le Pristine Singapore presents Chef Sergio Herman's Michelin-starred contemporary cuisine with Zeeland influences, complemented by a revamped Martini Bar.

The Grand Hyatt Singapore takes its environmental commitments seriously, as the first hotel in Singapore to work with cloud-based tracking system Wisefins to measure the carbon footprint of every dish offered in its restaurants. It also works with BioPak to offset up to 479kg of carbon every year.

Guests may join in on sustainability efforts too; The hotel produces sustainable corporate gifts produced in partnership with local brands, and has an in-house water bottling plant that provides guestrooms and event spaces with purified water in reusable glass bottles, eliminating plastic bottles in the hotel.

The kitchens also make sure to use sustainably sourced ingredients, working with a local rooftop farming company as well as suppliers from Cameron Highlands to reduce carbon footprints while ensuring quality and freshness of produce used.

Wellness in mind

The Grand Hyatt Singapore will also be introducing Thea Wong, stepping into the new role of director of well-being – a new role created uniquely for the hotel to make good on its commitment to well-rounded wellbeing.

Wong’s role will be to champion the hotel’s wellbeing efforts, creating “carefully-curated programmes that really translate from mindfulness to wellness” for the hotel’s guests and community.

One such programme is the kintsugi workshop that Grand Hyatt Singapore will be introducing to guests and colleagues alike, in partnership with the Kintsugi Art Studio in Singapore.

First originating in Japan, kintsugi is the art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer, commonly dusted or mixed with powdered gold, and is seen as mindful symbolism of embracing the flawed or imperfect.
