The Standard Singapore opens its doors, offering a chic escape in the heart of the city
Singapore: The Standard has just landed in the vibrant city, and it’s a game changer. If you’re a hotel lover, you’ll want to check this place out. I’m telling you, it’s got that “wow” factor. I can already see myself hanging out at the bar, reminiscing about my first stay like it was a rite of passage.
Born in New York, The Standard fits right into Singapore’s skyline. It’s surrounded by towering buildings, but somehow, it still feels like a cozy boutique hotel. It’s a breath of fresh air in a city full of high-rises.
They’re welcoming guests this month, and I couldn’t wait to sneak a peek before the grand opening. The location is perfect, nestled between the bustling Orchard shopping area and the serene botanical gardens. You get the best of both worlds here.
Getting around is a breeze, thanks to the MRT. It’s just a quick ride from Changi Airport, and I’d recommend taking a Grab for convenience. It’s not too pricey, and you’ll be at the hotel in no time.
Now, let’s talk style. The Standard Singapore has this cool 1970s vibe that’s just so fresh. You walk in and are greeted by an incredible art piece that doubles as the lobby counter. It’s a real showstopper!
Cafe Standard is right there too, offering a laid-back dining experience with views of the hotel’s stunning garden. And don’t forget about the pool—it’s a real gem at the top of the garden.
This hotel isn’t about being a resort; it’s more for stylish city stays. You won’t find a massive gym, but there’s a great restaurant, a lovely cafe, and a pool to chill by. Plus, the staff? They’re the friendliest bunch I’ve ever encountered. They make you feel right at home.
When you’re in Singapore, you’ve got to hit up the hawker centres for some delicious local food. Dunman Food Centre is a must-try, and it’s just a short walk away. And don’t miss the Gardens by the Bay—especially the light show at night!
As for the food at The Standard, it’s top-notch. I had this amazing sous vide pork that I still dream about. Kaya, the main restaurant, serves up modern Japanese dishes that are simply divine. And the cocktails? They’re a must-try too!
The rooms are just as stylish, with a cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. I stayed in a pool view room, and it was perfect. The decor is sleek, and the bathroom is a dream with its vibrant tiles and rain shower.
So, if you’re looking for a chic getaway in Singapore, The Standard is where it’s at. You won’t regret it!
