One Farrer Hotel & Spa in Singapore to Open end-August 2014

The 5-star One Farrer Hotel & Spa, located within Connexion - a mixed-use lifestyle complex in Singapore, is scheduled to soft open in phases towards the end of August this year.

The 250-room urban resort embodies an integrated hotel structure with a distinctive range of accommodations, exclusive wellness and spa facilities, innovative dining concepts and a state-of-the-art conference centre.

The hotel and its surroundings resonates with notes of serenity with 14 gardens over 20 levels, offering lush greenery, flowing waters and reflective spaces.

“When conceptualising the key elements of One Farrer Hotel & Spa, we wanted to create a hotel that would tick all the boxes of what travellers want in a hotel. The ‘Total Environment’ philosophy provides hotel residents with functional spaces and everything they need at their fingertips,” said Dr. Richard Helfer, Member of the Board of The Farrer Park Company and Chairman of One Farrer Pte Ltd. “Coupled with our ‘Hotels within a Hotel’ concept which creates three distinct hotel entities to serve the varied requirements of our hotel residents, we are confident that the hotel will mark a new era in the hospitality industry.”

The hotel features rooms that are residential in scale and feel. Residents can enjoy ‘Lifestyle Den’ accommodations which feature a separate relaxation area in which they can unwind after a stressful day. Those looking to extend their stay will appreciate the hotel’s Loft Apartments, each with its own fully equipped pantry and a majority offering duplex layouts, with panoramic views of the Singapore skyline. Residents seeking ultimate privacy and service quality in a penthouse environment can experience the exclusivity of the Skyline Hotel & Sky Villas with its in-hotel Skyline Lounge & Terrace, 24/7 Workout facilities, swimming pool, spa treatment and meeting rooms. Located above all, at Level 20, are the Sky Villas, each individually designed to provide best in class luxury amenities, such as private outdoor courtyards, lava rock barbeque grills, personal wine cellars and private jacuzzi pools.

All rooms feature individually controlled in-room mood lighting and temperature controls, ‘sleep well’ beds, generous-sized rain showers, ‘perfect view’ mirrors and 55-inch smart televisions that can be utilised to view in-room dining menus as well as the in-room shopping catalogue.

To further extend the in-room experience, the hotel’s mini bars and WiFi are complimentary.

One Farrer Hotel & Spa serves up an impressive array of nine concept-driven Food & Beverage offerings across a spectrum of restaurants, a confectionery, al fresco dining spaces and gourmet retail outlets. .

The hotel also provides a myriad of distinctive event spaces for every occasion, from meetings and conferences to corporate functions and celebrations, with state-of the-art facilities in its Grand Ballroom and meeting rooms.

At the centre of the hotel’s MICE facilities is a communications hub equipped with video streaming connections from Farrer Park Hospital’s 18 operating rooms, and the Institute of Nutrition. This enables the real time transmission of activities happening in other locations in the Connexion campus, creates a unique positioning for the One Farrer Conference Centre as a perfect location for medical and lifestyle meetings & functions.

The Spa Retreat offers top-of-the-line treatments and facilities exclusively for hotel residents. Located on the Lifestyle Podium of the hotel, it features an Olympic-sized swimming pool, Japanese-style onsens, reflexology water walk, relaxation gardens and comprehensive fitness facilities. 

The Connexion complex, inclusive of One Farrer Hotel & Spa has also been awarded the BCA Green Mark Platinum by the Building and Construction Authority for its environmental impact and performance.
