Luxuriously classy and homely yet infused with a sense of quirky outlandishness, JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach – officially opened in March 2017 – sits primely in Singapore’s heart of entertainment and commerce, designed by renowned designer Philippe Starck (for interior) and award-winning British architects Foster & Partners. Fitted with six hundred and thirty four rooms, two pools, an exquisite spa, famed contemporary Japanese restaurant Akira Back and a myriad of food & beverage, JW Marriott Singapore South Beach is truly a place where modern art meets lavish comfort.
Greeted by a seven-metre-tall LED installation showcasing a psychedelic canvas of colours designed by South Korean artist Lee Lee Nam, hotel guests then enter the reception lobby decked in one-of-a-kind furnishings and art pieces by acclaimed regional and international artists, including a sculpture by Fernando Botero named Donna a Cavallo among many others.
An eye-opening experience awaits within the guest lifts where a shuffle of red, green and blue lights illuminates three different marine designs on its walls, designed by Milan-based art and design duo Carnovsky. As a nod to the hotel’s attention to every detail in the experience, the wait in the lift becomes barely noticeable.
For a relaxing, fun-filled soak and swim, guests are spoilt for choice at the hotel’s two infinity pools, boasting unfettered views of the surroundings, two sky gardens and a twenty four-hour fitness centre at Flow18.
