L’Officiel Malaysia – July 2019

L’Ofciel Living 160

After months and months of teasing and drumming up our

anticipation, renowned nightspot and entertainment hub

Marquee has finally opened its doors at Singapore’s Marina Bay

Sands. This marks the second partnership between TAO Group

and the upscale integrated resort after their gastronomical

venture that’s LAVO Italian Restaurant & Rooftop Bar. The

fourth destination under the brand and its first in Asia, Marquee

originated in New York City before putting down its roots in Las

Vegas and Sydney.

Occupying the space that was once a theatre hall, the Singapore

venue is endowed with a cavernous 2,300 sqm and three floors

with ceilings soaring at 30 metres in height. It is no surprise

that Marquee Singapore now holds the record for the largest

nightclub on the island. New York-based design house ICrave

was mandated to transfuse the authentic carnival-esque spirit

synonymous with the brand into the premises, and the result is

nothing short of spectacular.

There are the three-storey, LED-lit spiralling slides and the

eight-armed Ferris Wheel named The Big Q erected within the

compound to express a vision of the “nightclub playground”.

The Ferris Wheel, especially, is guaranteed to be the spot

where clubgoers flock to as it offers a sweeping view of the

establishment. What’s more, each gondola is furnished with

a touch-pad camera—transforming it into a fun, rotating

photobooth—which can be used to capture precious moments

with your partying friends.

And it wouldn’t be a Marquee nightclub without cutting-edge

technology and sound system. Striking visuals and animations

made with the latest Monstro 8k Camera technology by Visual

Artform can be seen all across the digital screens, as well as

the 20-metre-high custom LED native 8K resolution display

throughout the night. Partiers are also in for a treat when the

dimly lit space gets bathed in theatrical lighting by SJ Lighting

and enveloped in pristine audio provided by Sound Investment.

But for those who need a break from the jam-packed dance floor,

head over to any of the four bars scattered around the club for

some liquid energiser. For a quick refreshment, make a beeline

for the Las Vegas or the Sydney bar, where delectable bevvies

are served with stunning displays of peacocks in gilded cages.

The Singapore bar is positioned on the top floor just in case one

gets weary of waiting in line for The Big Q, while the New York

Wonderland Bar can be found at the bottom of the Sunny Slide

Up—the grand prize that awaits those daring to embark on the

slide of their lives.
