Lifestyle brand Edition has opened its first hotel in Southeast Asia, the Singapore Edition.<\/p>\n
Conceived by Ian Schrager (who partnered with Marriott to launch Edition in 2008) in collaboration with interior design firm Cap Atelier, the 204-room Singapore Edition is located just off the west end of Singapore’s upper Orchard Road.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the core of the architecture and interior design is access to nature, with greenery integrated throughout the hotel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The hotel features a bronze-and-glass fa\u00e7ade and white-marbled lobby with domed ceiling covered with gold leaf. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the lobby are covered with the broad planes of plantation shutters. Towering windows in the lobby’s far wall feature a long, light-filled conservatory, complete with a green wall. A curvaceous glass roof brings in views of the sky and outdoor greenery.<\/p>\n
The lobby bar is sheathed in sharp pink velvet and features a rose-colored pool table of Calacatta marble. Christian Liaigre leather chairs and lamps accent the space, while the bar itself is styled with Lalique-inspired crystal decanters and sculptures.<\/p>\n
The hotel’s restaurant, Fysh at Edition, is spearheaded Australian chef Josh Niland. The seafood-focused restaurant is Niland’s first outside Australia.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Punch Room, Edition’s signature bar, is “swathed in a shade of Yves Klein blue and lined with oak panels on the walls and ceilings,” Edition said. “The space channels the intimate mood of a classic London gentleman’s club serving brandy with a modern and deviant approach.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
In every guestroom, white rugs cover white oak-planked floors while decorative pots of orchids and thick drapes frame bay windows. The rooms also feature deep-seated sofas and hand-sewn damask throws on the beds.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The second-floor spa features sunken vitality thermal pools, an ice fountain, relaxation lounge, sauna and steam room, and a gym.<\/p>\n
On the rooftop terrace, the pool is framed with day beds. The Roof has a semi-al fresco setting and serves Southeast Asian favorites and tropical cocktails.<\/p>\n
Edition says room rates start at about $500 per night.<\/p>\n
