In just two days, on 16 February 2012, Resorts
World Sentosa will open the doors to not one, but two new hotels -
the Equarius Hotel and Beach Villas - at its 49-hectare
mega-resort.
“These two hotels cap the accommodation
offerings at Resorts World Sentosa, which will be fully open once
the Marine Life Park, water theme park and destination spa are
ready,” said Mr Roger Lienhard, Senior Vice President, Hospitality
Development and Projects, RWS. “The hotels are the perfect tranquil getaway,
offering guests the chance to be close to nature, lush greenery
and serene waters. Yet, what sets the hotels apart is that guests
are still just minutes away from the fun and thrills of RWS, and
within easy reach to the city for business travelers.”
The resort-style architecture of the 172-room Equarius
Hotel and 22 exclusive Beach Villas is complemented by verdant
foliage provided by the 2.9-hectare natural forest located at its
fringe, as well as 4,000 trees planted by RWS in and around the
hotels. With panoramic views of the waterfront, Keppel Bay and
Labrador Park, the result is a close-to-nature
experience.
Mr. Tsuyoshi Narita, Senior Associate of Peridian Asia, the landscape architecture firm
behind the landscape design for the two hotels, said, “We set out to create a tropical garden of peace
and tranquility that rejuvenates the senses. Upon arrival, guests
will feel like they are entering a different world, as they are
greeted by a splendid avenue of trees on both sides. As the hotel
comes into view, they will be awed by two majestic 80 – 100 year
old Shorea trees, specially chosen for the arrival area, creating
a natural yet ethereal landscape.”
Guests at the two
hotels can enjoy facilities such as seven meeting rooms, an event
pavilion, gym and swimming pool, while a new restaurant helmed by
award-winning celebrity chef Sam Leong will be housed in a
glass house located adjacent to the Equarius Hotel
Lobby. Opening on 16 February 2012, the aptly named Forest will
serve chef Leong’s innovative contemporary Chinese cuisine with a
strong Thai-influence.
Guests are also located steps away from
the upcoming Marine Life Park, a water theme park and a world class luxury spa, offering a one-of-the-kind experience.
The
two hotels are designed and conceptualised by
American architectural firm, Michael Graves & Associates, in collaboration with DP Architects Pte Ltd, as well as interior
design firms Dpd + Pte Ltd and Diana Simpson Design.
In addition to the two new hotels, two treetop lofts
above the canopy of the forest and 11 two-storey ocean suites
situated within the Marine Life Park will be launched at a later
date. Still to come also is a destination spa by world renowned
UK spa brand ESPA, a water theme park and the world’s largest oceanarium - the Marine Life Park.
