Hyatt announced this week that the multi-year transformation of the Grand Hyatt Singapore is complete. The hotel is now reimagined with contemporary design and a mix of local culture, gastronomy, wellbeing, and sustainability at its core. The property originally opened in 1971 and it has been some time since its last renovation.
The refreshed property features two distinct wings that offer contrasting yet complementary experiences. The Grand Wing, designed by Tokyo-based Strickland, delivers a refined city stay infused with Singaporean character. Its 407 rooms and suites showcase open-concept layouts, plush sofas, Patagonia stone bathrooms, and Peranakan-inspired accents. A subtle octagonal motif, a nod to the hotel’s original architecture, runs throughout the interior. The Terrace Wing, shaped in collaboration with UK-based Grant Associates, brings a serene resort atmosphere to Orchard Road. Immersed in tropical greenery and cascading waterfalls, its 292 guestrooms feature natural tones, ice-green marble, and wood furnishings. Highlights include five Garden Studio Rooms with direct access to the wellness lawn and lap pool.
With 699 rooms and suites (22 more than before the renovation), including three Grand Presidential Suites, the hotel remains one of Singapore’s largest properties. Families and multi-generational travelers benefit from an expanded number of connecting rooms. The relocated Grand Club lounge now offers made-to-order breakfasts, all-day refreshments, and evening cocktails in a striking mezzanine-level space. I always loved the old lounge and hope to check out the new space in the near future.
The property’s eight dining and drinking venues are all now fully open. These include:
- Le Pristine Singapore marks Michelin-starred Chef Sergio Herman’s Southeast Asian debut (marrying Italian cuisine with Zeeland soul)
- StraitsKitchen returns as one of Singapore’s first Halal-certified five-star buffets
- Pete’s Place (an Orchard Road staple since 1973) reopens with a chef’s table and wine cellar under Chef Salvatore Catania.
- Oasis offers poolside seafood and BBQ favorites
- BRIX reclaims its status as a premier nightlife venue with live international bands
- 10|Scotts continues offerings its Mediterranean small plates and elegant afternoon teas
- The Shop offers artisanal confections, wines, and lifestyle items
- Martini Bar showcases one of the city’s largest handcrafted martini selections
Central to the transformation is Damai, a holistic wellness destination that merges science and ancient wisdom. Treatments incorporate light therapy, vibration, and oceanic minerals, while facilities include Singapore’s only Mind Body Therapy Wall, hydro pools, and a Himalayan salt steam room. Damai also houses one of the city’s largest hotel fitness centers, complete with Technogym equipment, outdoor wellness lawns, and the region’s first HYROX training club.
The Grand Hyatt Singapore continues to be a pioneer in sustainable hospitality. This includes:
- 100% renewable electricity powering the hotel
- A closed-loop aquaponics system that converts food waste into fish feed and fertilizer for the rooftop gardens
- Carbon tracking with Wisefins technology and zero-waste cooking practices
- A contactless WasteMaster system, RFID-enabled laundry, and an in-house water bottling plant to eliminate single-use plastics
The hotel is certified by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and holds Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum distinction. The hotel can be booked for cash rates around $300 per night and you can expect to redeem 21,000 to 29,000 World of Hyatt® points for this Category 6 hotel.
Anthony’s Take: I’ve stayed twice at this hotel and loved both stays. The old Grand Club was great and the renovations look beautiful.
