The
Hilton Singapore, one of Singapore’s leading business hotels, has
refurbished its rooms and suites, as well as the Executive Lounge and key function areas of the Orchard Road landmark.
The refurbishment was directed by noted international hospitality designers Bent Severin and
Associates, known for their work with leading hotel chains and airlines around the globe.
Hilton Singapore General Manager Alain Mahillon said that the makeover incorporated smart
design solutions for the aspects most appreciated by executive guests such as lighting, the
inclusion of stylish and ergonomic work spaces, and a technology upgrade that
includes the fastest hotel broadband available and large 37” LCD televisions.
“The look and feel of the executive rooms has also been transformed with extensive use of
Sycamore veneers, blond, silk-textured wallpapers and stunning stitched leather headboards,
ensuring a light and welcoming ambience for executive guests from the first moment of their
stay,” Mahillon said.
Bent Severin used sophisticated lighting systems through adjustable LED reading lamps and
concealed back-lighting that creates a ‘floating effect’ for the LCD television sets and
dimmable Artemede light sculptures, “Chimera”, to set the mood after dark.
Exclusive La Source bath and
body care amenities by Crabtree & Evelyn are provided in every room. This range, only
offered at Hilton hotels across Asia, includes La Source moisturizing soap, shampoo,
conditioner, relaxing body wash, body lotion and bath salts.
Additionally, guests at
the Hilton Singapore will not have to lose sleep ever again over how to set
the alarm clock. With a custom designed Hilton Alarm Clock featuring one of the
easiest-to-set alarms ever and a connection cable for MP3 players and other portable music
devices, guests can now listen to their own favorite music in the room without having to rely
on ear phones or portable speaker systems. Bringing the comforts of the home to the hotel
room, guests should be able to sleep more soundly.
Other functional areas of the Hilton have enjoyed a similar transformation, and an entirely new
function area has been added. The remodeled Hilton Executive Lounge also picks up the lighter color palette used
throughout the rooms and has added space for luxurious furniture and a fully serviced
black-granite buffet area ensuring continuous food and beverage service amid the quiet
luxury of the lounge.
The new Panorama function room – located on the 24th floor – can accommodate up to 240
guests or, equally, has the flexibility to divide into four smaller rooms. Ivory-colored walls and
drapes coupled with a panoramic view of Orchard Road offer a simple yet elegant setting for
meetings, conferences and dinner parties.
The Grand Ballroom with a capacity of 600 persons has been re-dressed for the many
important occasions that grace its floors, featuring fabric padded walls in warm metallic hues
amid faux Alabaster columns and a feature wall. New carpets, elliptically shaped
mouth-blown Chili-shaped glass light shades and motorized ripple fold snow coloured velvet
drapes complete the picture of sophistication.
“Hilton Singapore has enjoyed a great deal of positive feedback from the changes to date, and
we look forward to extending the makeover to the remaining hotel facilities in the year ahead,”
Mahillon said.
