Singapore, a vibrant tapestry of nature, architecture, culinary delights, and a thriving luxury fashion scene, is a destination that beckons travelers. Conveniently accessible for GCC residents with a relatively easy visa process and a 7.5-hour flight from the UAE, Singapore welcomes you to the world’s second-best airport, Changi.
Arriving in Singapore, a scenic journey from the airport leads you to the heart of the city, Orchard Road, where the stylish Como Metropolitan awaits. This hotel, nestled amidst a plethora of high-fashion stores, is a testament to the neighborhood’s sophistication. Como Metropolitan, the first of its kind in Singapore, is a new concept by the renowned Como Group, a family-owned portfolio of luxury lifestyle companies led by founder Christina Ong.
Stretching across 19 floors of Como Orchard, the hotel offers a curated experience encompassing fashion, wellness, gastronomy, and hospitality, what the group calls a “Como-curated life.” Step into the hotel and be greeted by 156 light-filled rooms adorned with contemporary furnishings. Unwind on the rooftop pool and bar, where breathtaking views of the bustling city await.
For the style-savvy traveler, Club21, occupying two floors of Como Orchard, offers a haven of seasonal collections and pop-ups. The 742 square meter boutique showcases an array of womenswear, menswear, kidswear, and jewelry from renowned brands like Alaïa, Balmain, Oscar De La Renta, Simone Rocha, The Row, and many more.
Seeking a momentary escape from the city’s energy? Descend to the fourth floor, where Como Shambhala welcomes you to a tranquil sanctuary designed by Milan-based architect Paola Navone of Otto Studio. This 9,000 square foot wellness haven is a haven of relaxation, boasting state-of-the-art facilities including a gym with exercise classes, a spa, and therapy rooms, all offering tailored treatments by experts. Launched earlier this year, Como Shambhala and Como Hotels & Resorts’ collaborative Sleep Dreams initiative ensures guests achieve optimal rest. The SleepHub® technology leverages “neuroscience and psychoacoustic sound technology to gently steer the minds through optimal sleep cycle.”
No hotel experience is complete without its culinary offerings, and Como Orchard delivers a truly exceptional dining experience. A highlight is Cédric Grolet Singapore, the acclaimed French pastry chef’s first venture in Asia. Reserve a spot to savor beautifully crafted pastries inspired by fruits and flowers, alongside delectable sandwiches and an extensive tea menu. Another culinary gem is Cote Singapore, the Michelin-starred restaurant’s first international outpost outside the US, offering a harmonious blend of the beloved Korean barbeque experience and an American steakhouse. Helmed by Simon Kim, Cote Singapore serves prime beef cuts and a grape list that was nominated by the James Beard Foundation. For all-day dining, Como Cuisine offers comforting favorites and classic dishes from Asia and beyond, with a special emphasis on delectable Singaporean cuisine.
From style and luxury to wellness and comfort, Como Orchard and Como Metropolitan are dedicated to exceeding guest expectations, offering an extraordinary experience that caters to every need.
