Introduction

It looks like another aspirational luxury hotel has landed in Singapore!

The EDITION Hotels redefines modern luxury with an aesthetic concept by Ian Schrager. This luxury brand appeals to affluent, culturally savvy, and service-savvy guests and currently operates 17 hotels in mainstay cities like New York, Miami Beach, West Hollywood, , London, Reykjavik, Madrid, Rome, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Shanghai, and Tokyo. Now, we’re getting a EDITION in Singapore! Accessed from Cuscaden Road, the hotel’s main entrance with its cobbled stone driveway opens into a private, white-hued oasis that stands singularly apart from the bustle of upper Orchard Road.

Singapore has long shown its weight in luxury hotels that go beyond the norma. The arrival of the Singapore EDITION will add another fantastic property under the Marriott umbrella and hopefully we’ll be able to redeem points at this fantastic brand.

What’s New?

The Singapore hotel will be the first Southeast Asian outpost for EDITION, which is kinda interesting, considering that Singapore is a hotbed for testing luxury hotels globally. Nevertheless, the 204-room hotel (including 24 suites) offers seamless access to nature with greenery integrated throughout including a sky park and sunken garden that offers a tranquil escape from Singapore’s Orchard Road shopping district. The spacious guest rooms unfold over six floors. In every guest room, warm white rugs clad the customized white oak-planked floors while decorative pots of orchids and thick drapes frame the broad bay windows. The rooms also feature deep-seated sofas, and hand-sewn damask throws that swathe the beds.

Amenities include four restaurants and bars, a rooftop pool, spa, fitness center, and indoor and outdoor meeting space for events. Chef Josh Niland will launch a first-of-its-kind concept featuring ethically sourced seafood and fish dishes.

Amenities

Based on the news report, the Singapore EDITION will also have a stunning swimming pool and rooftop terrace. Accessible via The Roof bar, the pool is framed with languid day beds and stretches a full 4 meter pool from tip to tip, seemingly floating like an all-white space vessel over the garden courtyard nine floors below. It looks like it’s going to be a beauty - with swathes of stone and landscaping create a relaxed, one-of-a-kind outdoor oasis in the sky, I would love to swim here in the future when I visit Singapore once again.

Per Business Wire:

“Flanking the soaring white aerie of the lobby and reception is a high vaulted-ceilinged, timber-lined restaurant spearheaded by Josh Niland. Aptly named FYSH at EDITION, this lofty space is the acclaimed Australian restaurateur and multi-award-winning chef and author’s first restaurant outside of Australia, and it features an impressive sustainable seafood-focused steakhouse menu alongside responsibly sourced vegetables and meats. Anchored by a custom-made marble bar in green scalloped Antico Verde marble, and a large show kitchen, the main dining room seats 80 across intimate jade velvet banquettes and booths with Calacutta white marble tables. Art works frame the space; with 14-carat gold leaf etching greeting diners at the entrance, while a custom piece by the artist Christian Furr sits over the bar. A leafy conservatory has capacity for 22; this indoor garden is home to over 300 plants and 162 suspended preserved fern spheres, all born in Southeast Asia. A Luna Alabaster sculpture by Jan Vanderlaan finishes the room. An outdoor pergola provides a perch for a further 44 diners when the cooler tropical evening arrives.
From the lobby, a sculpted, white Venetian plaster staircase spirals elegantly down to the garden courtyard level to a dramatic bar lounge, ideal for a pre-dinner aperitif or a late evening cocktail.
For those wishing to extend the evening’s libations, an inconspicuous side-door leads to the adjoining Punch Room - EDITION’s signature bar concept that is a global brand in itself - where punch is championed as both a cocktail and a lifestyle necessity. Swathed in a shade of Yves Klein blue, the intimate bar is an indulgent cocoon. Lined with oak panels on the walls and ceilings, a sculptural blue ceiling pendant designed by the Parisian artist Eric Schmitt, and a stone fan-shaped floor mosaic, the space channels the intimate mood of a classic London gentleman’s club serving brandy with a modern and deviant approach. The cosmopolitan vibe is enhanced by a handsome bronze bar behind which the mixologist shakes up a unique punch cocktail menu inspired by Southeast Asian spices and imaginative bar snacks.”

The Singapore EDITION will open in preview starting today, November 9th, 2023. The hotel offers an exclusive opening preview rate of 15% off flexible rates, available for a limited time only. Room rates start from SGD$680+ per room, per night.
