Mandarin Oriental Singapore is promising a new version of the 35-year-old hotel.
Mandarin Oriental, Singapore has temporarily closed its doors to
undergo a six-month transformation at a cost of over S$135 million
(US$100 million).
The iconic hotel will reopen in Marina Bay in September – 35 years
after its initial opening – with a “brand-new look and feel” and in time
for the Formula One Singapore Grand Prix.
“This is a new dawn of exceptional luxury,” says 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.”
The hotel’s multi-million-dollar transformation will include a
redesign and refitting of the hotel’s interiors, from the grand lobby
and the rooms to the food and beverage venues.
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.
During the six-month transformation, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore’s
social media platforms will include content, honouring the legacy of the
hotel, featuring new and long-term employees, regular peeks into the
hotel transformation process and the release of early hotel room, dining
and spa bookings, all ahead of September 2023.
