Sofitel Singapore City Centre
ushers in new levels of luxury
T
he new Sofitel Singapore City Centre opened its doors in
October 2017 and it is the AccorHotels’ 800th hotel in Asia
Pacific. Nestled amidst historic shop houses and towering
skyscrapers, the 223-room luxury hotel is elegantly designed,
reflecting Singapore’s rich cultural heritage with undeniable
French flair.
An oasis in the heart of historic Tanjong Pagar, the hotel is
strategically situated just 20 minutes from Singapore’s Changi
Airport. It is AccorHotels’ 13th hotel in Singapore and it will be
shortly followed by a combined 782-room Novotel and Mercure
complex which will open on Stevens Road, firmly cementing the
group’s position as the largest hotel operator in Singapore.
Guests entering Sofitel Singapore City Centre are welcomed
by the shimmering Singapour Je T’aime, a stunning nine-metre
chandelier designed by Lasvit. This stunning art installation of
glass leaves that whirl through the lobby, comprises 700 hand-
blown glass crystals.
Sofitel’s commitment to culture and design is brought to life
with an outstanding collection of custom-made furniture and
artworks including designer uniforms accentuated with floral
prints, evoking the strong botanic theme that runs throughout
the hotel.
The hotel’s interiors elegantly juxtapose vibrant rose gold
accents with striking design features and botanical motifs, inspired
by the sublime geometry of a traditional jardin à la française and
the rich green spaces of Singapore, also known as the Garden City.Lobby centrepiece – Singapour Je T’aime, a stunning nine-metre chandelier designed by Lasvit. Photo: © AccorHotels
