The much anticipated opening of Park Hotel Group’s flagship property – Grand Park Orchard – has been set for July this year. The 308-room hotel, together with its stunning four-storey retail podium, Knightsbridge, is the crown jewel of Park Hotel Group, a fast-growing hospitality chain in the Asia-Pacific.
Grand Park Orchard enjoys the finest location in Singapore’s most vibrant and pulsating shopping district, Orchard Road. The property is emerging after an S$80 million makeover of the former Park Hotel Orchard.
Set to be an iconic landmark on Orchard Road, Grand Park Orchard redefines the skyline with its outstanding herringbone-designed glass façade and dramatic eight-storey tall media wall.
The stylishly furnished rooms offer luxurious comfort and modern conveniences such as high-speed internet access, LCD TV, DVD player, minibar and coffee/tea making facilities. Most rooms come with large floor-to-ceiling windows, presenting Orchard Road at its glittering best. Suite room guests enjoy pampering amenities such as a 40-inch Bang & Olufsen LCD TV, Hermann Miller designer desk chair, personal PCs with all-in-one printer, scanner and fax. The full range of Spa Park Asia’s bathroom amenities adds luxury to the experience. Business guests will appreciate the exclusive privileges of Crystal Club and complimentary access to the Crystal Club Lounge.
Located on Level 4, the chic hotel lobby overlooks the stunning outdoor pool and the Champagne Bar, serving signature concoctions of Veuve Clicquot cocktails. All-day dining restaurant Open House will feature four open kitchen stations serving signature dishes of pizzas, dim sum, sandwiches, claypot dishes and roast meat.
Onyx Bar is an energetic and vibrant lounge with intimate spaces, accentuated by ambient lighting. For a relaxing retreat, guest can enjoy an array of treatments inspired by Asian therapies and philosophies as Spa Park Asia.
Grand Park Orchard is an ideal venue for corporate meetings and social events. The meeting rooms located on Level 4 provide meeting delegates with convenient same floor access to the lobby, restaurant, swimming pool, lounge, bar, spa and business centre.
The Knightsbridge retail podium recreates the language of impeccable luxury, showcasing retail units with direct street entrances to Orchard Road and frontages unseen in Singapore.
“The arrival of Grand Park Orchard heralds a new level of sophistication on Orchard Road. Not only is it our crown jewel, Grand Park Orchard also represents the aspirations of the Group as we scale the heights to be the leading hospitality chain in the Asia-Pacific,” said Allen Law, Director of Park Hotel Group.
