When it comes to class, Swissôtel The Stamford surely has it. Well located, less than five minutes walk to City Hall’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station, it is also only a mere ten minutes away from Singapore’s renowned shopping street, Orchard Road. Once the tallest hotel building in the world, this iconic property can been seen from miles away on the island city of Singapore. Probably one of the most photographed Swissôtel in the world by both tourist and locals alike and judging from the recent refurbishments, a travel trend that will continue for many years to come.
Say goodbye to lingering around the lobby, waiting for your turn to check in or out. Say hello, to the new era of self check-in counters. With an ample number of such stations, guests will no longer have to wait long to enjoy their rooms. And they have every right to be impatient as there are just so much to indulge in within the hotel itself from world class wining and dining to luxurious spa treatments. There is also, an exclusive reception for guests who are staying in executive rooms and suites at the executive lounge on the sixty-fifth floor.
Rooms
For staying guests in rooms and suites with access to the executive floor, a separate modern gym equipped with treadmills, cycling machines, resistance bands, various types of weights and medicine balls, punchbag and even a battle rope is provided. Needless to say, gym-goers will have no qualms in getting the workout they desire in a more exclusive environment. With a grand number of 1,252 rooms and suites, Swissôtel The Stamford certainly has a room for all kind of preferences. These rooms include Vitality, Swiss Harbour View, Swiss Signature, Premier, Premier Harbour View, Swiss Executive, and Swiss Executive Rooms.
With wellness travel on the rise, Swissôtel The Stamford has kept up with this increasing demand with their newest addition of rooms – The Vitality Room. Just like any other room, is fitted with all the necessary amenities and toiletries with a special little twist of its own. Equipped with its very own personal state-of-the-art gym, this room type provide guests with the luxury of working out without having to leave the comfort of their room. The Vitality Room also utilises a smart switch system where almost anything can be controlled with a push of a button from lighting to height of the work desk.
Your “private gym room” has interchangeable triceps pull-down rope attachments and varying sand-weighted dumbbells. Well furnished minibar with complimentary bottled water, TWG tea and Nespresso coffee. Toiletries include loofah sponge, face, hand and body towels along with toothbrushes and toothpastes, Dyson hairdryer and Pürovel bath products. Pürovel’s “SOOTHE” body lotion and “PUIFY” hand soap have a subtle scent that reminds one of being in a spa on a Swiss mountain top.
Another key highlight of the Vitality Room besides the in-built workout station is its circadian lighting technology. Lights can be controlled easily by smart switches which are located throughout the room. With this newly installed technology, guests can choose different lighting to bring out various moods and ambiences throughout their personal space. The remote controlled rain shower is unique and certainly a joy to use. With two balconies to spend time with your love ones taking in the sights, one with views towards eastern Singapore and another south-wards of the Lion City State, you might not even want to go out of this personal enclave.
Dining
Breakfast at the Executive Lounge is deliciously stylish, with a large variety of items to choose from such as cereals and pastries on top of the local and western dishes such as streaky bacon, mee mamak, potato wedges, live egg station, free flow coffee and tea, all complete with a breathtaking view of the bay area. Cocktail hours are a crowd favourite with assorted alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to go with scrumptious mains such as Gratin Ricotta Connelloni which is a must to try.
