Designed by SCDA Architects, the hotel is part of a mixed-use development that comprises restaurants, bars and lifestyle retail outlets. The hotel’s arrival lobby, concierge services and flagship restaurant will be located on the ground floor, while the reception area will be on the fourth level. Other facilities include meetings rooms, function space, a club lounge, a swimming pool and a bar. The hotel rooms offer views of the Singapore River and the city skyline.
