Voco Orchard Singapore sits in the most iconic shopping and lifestyle belt
BACKGROUND As the first Voco Hotel that opened in Southeast Asia and Korea, Voco Orchard Singapore sits in the most iconic shopping and lifestyle belt, o ering a vibrant getaway from the bustling streets of Orchard Road. Celebrating the individual heritage and spirit of each hotel, the property o ers localised guest touchpoints that speak to the history of the Orchard area.
WHAT’S IT LIKE When I entered the lobby of the hotel, I was instantly surrounded by the comforting and charming touches that make a world of di erence and was immediately greeted by the friendly sta . Situated on Orchard Road in Singapore, the stay is filled with exciting dining, shopping and entertainment options right on the doorstep.
WHERE IS IT Located on the fringe of Orchard Road, the hotel is a peaceful respite from the bustling world-renowned shopping street while remaining steps away from shopping malls. It is also conveniently located around public transportation and I could get around the city with ease.
ROOMS Soothing colour palettes incorporating Voco’s signature pink and soothing greys set the backdrop for the new Deluxe Rooms with Club Access. The bold and functional rooms include an open wardrobe design, which allows more space and gave the room a slick, modern feel, whilst floor-to-ceiling windows flooded the room with natural light. In line with the hotel’s commitment to sustainability, guests can relax on untucked high-quality bedding made from 100% recycled materials, flu y bathrobes and slippers, and sustainable bathroom amenities from Apotheke. The hotel has 423 guestrooms and I stayed in the Deluxe club room which was 32 sqm in size and overlooked the spectacular boulevard.
FOOD AND DRINK I had a long and busy day ahead of me with a possibility of only a quick bite for lunch, so I chose to have a filling breakfast to tide me through the day. I breakfasted on an egg white omelette with sourdough bread, a bowl of fresh-cut fruits and a cappuccino at the Opus Grill and Bar. In the evening when I got back to the hotel, I relaxed in the club lounge with red wine and canapes before retiring for the night.
MEETINGS Voco Orchard Singapore has 1,869 sqm of conference space across 17 flexible function rooms ranging from the Grand Ballroom for 500 guests to our rooftop Panorama Room with scenic views over the city.
LEISURE A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 163-year-old Singapore Botanic Gardens, a tropical garden only a short distance away. Visit Orchard Road for world-class shopping, where major malls carry both international and local brands. Singapore has so much to discover
VERDICT Voco Orchard Singapore is a relaxing haven which o ers the best of both worlds, encompassing business and leisure. I highly recommend staying here when in Singapore.
