If you’re tired of the same old “cookie-cutter” luxury, The Standard, Singapore is a total breath of fresh air. Located in the upscale Orange Grove area, this spot is all about a cool, edgy persona that doesn’t hold back on bold colors and textures. It’s the kind of place where high-design meets a relaxed, “anything goes” attitude. One of the best parts? It’s pet-friendly, so your furry friends are just as welcome as you are. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels more like a creative hangout than a typical lobby, making it the perfect base for anyone who loves a bit of personality with their stay.
Accommodation
The Standard King Room is a masterclass in making a space feel both nostalgic and high-tech. The standout feature has to be the beautiful yellow-tiled bathroom—it’s bright, cheery, and basically a mood-booster the second you walk in. For the tech-savvy, the automated curtains and blinds make it easy to set the vibe at the touch of a button. They’ve also added a great local touch with the in-room coffee and tea; the capsules are specially made to taste just like the rich, aromatic brews you’d get at a traditional Singaporean coffee shop. It’s a small detail, but it makes the room feel much more like home.
Dining
Dining at KAYA is anything but conventional. Their gourmet breakfast skips the boring buffet for high-quality à la carte dishes. You can dive into Chicken & Waffles or grab the Onigiri (rice balls of the day) if you’re feeling a bit more adventurous. They also do a genius waffled rosti with buttermilk chicken in smaller portions, so you can save room for the free-flow juices and pastries.
For dinner, the menu stays creative with dishes like Somen & Tomatoes featuring sudachi jelly and honey shoyu tomatoes. You have to try the Good Egg Bad Egg—a jammy ramen egg wrapped in shoyu chicken and fried golden over curry hollandaise—or the Portaku, which is soy-and-sake braised pork belly grilled to a perfect glaze. It pairs perfectly with a Niji Negroni or something from their massive sake list.
Facilities
The facilities here are designed to keep the good times rolling. The swimming pool is the place to be, especially with cool music drifting over from the pool bar to set the tone. As you wander around, you’ll notice beautiful landscaping mixed with quirky art pieces, like the giant red lip sculpture that’s become a bit of an icon on the property. If you’re looking to squeeze in a workout, the open-air gym lets you break a sweat while enjoying the tropical breeze and lush greenery. It’s the perfect mix of wellness and a social club vibe that makes every stay here feel like a mini-vacation.
