Grand Hyatt Singapore Unveils a New Chapter of Purposeful Hospitality Following Multi-Year Transformation

SINGAPORE, 1 JULY 2025: Grand Hyatt Singapore today announced the official completion of its extensive multi-year redevelopment that redefines the 54-year-old icon as a contemporary haven of wellness, and meaningful luxury. With the reopening of the Grand Wing, relocated Grand Club Lounge and refurbished 10|Scotts, the property stands poised to set a new benchmark for integrated lifestyle hospitality in the Orchard Road area. To celebrate this grand transformation, guests can look forward to a series of events featuring reimagined gourmet indulgence, wellness retreats and enhanced World of Hyatt rewards from 18 July till 14 September 2025.

The phased reopening of Terrace Wing in July 2024 introduced a tranquil, nature-inspired retreat that reflects Singapore’s identity as a City in Nature. Now, with the debut of the refreshed Grand Wing and Grand Club, the hotel offers 699 redesigned rooms and suites, seven dining concepts, an extensive wellness hub, and 16 event spaces—making it a one-stop destination for locals and travellers seeking both rejuvenation and inspiration.

“The completed transformation of Grand Hyatt Singapore marks a new milestone for the city’s evolved hospitality landscape,” said Edouard Demptos, General Manager of Grand Hyatt Singapore. “As one of the first international hotels in Singapore, we have welcomed generations of guests and catered to their changing preferences over five decades. Today, we embark on an exciting new chapter — deepening our commitment to sustainability, wellbeing, and immersive guest experiences, while continuing to deliver the warm, intuitive service and care that has always defined us for decades.”

INTRODUCING THE GRAND WING – A FUSION OF NATURE AND THE CITY

Designed by Tokyo-based studio Strickland, the Grand Wing offers a refined urban experience infused with the vibrancy of Singapore. All 407 rooms, including redesigned Deluxe Rooms, now feature open-plan spaces with warm walnut flooring, Peranakan-inspired accents, and striking Patagonia Stone in the bathrooms. Terracotta orange tones and contemporary geometric patterns reflect the city’s energy while maintaining the serenity of a luxurious stay.

A signature octagonal design motif—echoing the hotel’s architectural heritage—runs through corridors and guestrooms, subtly reflecting its storied past. Thoughtful use of space, including a plush sofa nook, and a spacious dining table create welcoming spaces to relax, work, or share a meal in comfort.

“Our design objective was to create a new future for Grand Hyatt Singapore by paying homage to the nature and traditions of Singapore and carrying on the vibrant history of the hotel,” said Yohei Akao, Founder of Strickland. “Every material and detail were selected to create a guest experience that feels elevated, comfortable, and connected to this destination.”

Strickland also reimagined the hotel’s reception and public spaces, where a sculptural centrepiece and carved louvers echo Peranakan motifs, and ceiling fins made of local wood wrap the Grand Lobby with a sense of warmth.

THE GRAND CLUB - A SPACE FOR CULTURAL DIALOGUE

Relocated to the mezzanine level of the Grand Wing, the new Grand Club lounge designed by NAO Taniyama raised the benchmark for residential-style lounges. Inspired by Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage, the space is thoughtfully composed with warm tones, tactile materials, and nuanced local motifs that evoke a sense of familiarity and belonging. More than a visually striking venue, the Grand Club is a quiet yet meaningful space where guests can unwind, connect, and reflect. Whether over morning coffee or evening cocktails, it fosters moments of cultural exchange through its ambiance, attentive service, and curated local touches—making each visit feel both personal and place-specific.

“The Grand Club is not simply a lounge—it is a dedicated space where memory, modernity, and local culture come together,” said Nao Taniyama, Founder of NAO Taniyama & Associates.

Beyond its thoughtful design, the Grand Club offers elevated privileges for suite and World of Hyatt elite guests, including daily breakfast, all-day refreshments, and a well-loved evening cocktail hour featuring premium pours and a rotating selection of gourmet small plates. Whether for quiet reflection, informal meetings, or unwinding with city views, the lounge offers an experience that is both refined and distinctly local.

TERRACE WING – A TRANQUIL OASIS INSPIRED BY NATURE

In contrast, Terrace Wing offers a calming, verdant resort ambience enhanced by landscape architects Grant Associates. Drawing inspiration from the Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku (forest bathing), the wing’s landscaping creates a layered sanctuary where biodiversity, wellbeing, and artistry coexist. Interconnected garden zones are populated with butterfly-attracting nectar plants, koi ponds, and tropical greenery that form a meditative journey through the property.

At the heart of this lush experience is a multi-tiered waterfall, featuring granite reclaimed during the hotel’s transformation. Nearby, curated sculpture trails and play elements invite discovery for families, while elevated lawns host yoga, bootcamps, and wellness programmes. This comprehensive landscape vision not only elevates the guest experience, but actively contributes to Singapore’s biodiversity through expanded pollinator habitats and rainwater-fed ecosystems.

A LIVING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY

A pioneer in sustainable hospitality since 2002, Grand Hyatt Singapore continues to lead with bold innovations. The hotel runs on 100% renewable electricity, operates a closed-loop food waste-to-farm aquaponics system, and has eliminated plastic bottles with its own water bottling plant. Culinary sustainability is deeply embedded across all its restaurants, with practices such as zero-waste cooking and carbon tracking for individual dishes. Over 80% of organic vegetables are sourced from Cameron Highlands and local farms, including Spore Gardens and Plauts. Additionally, 55% of the seafood served is certified sustainable, and more than 30% of the herbs used in the kitchens are freshly harvested from the hotel’s rooftop garden.

Sustainability is deeply ingrained in the interior design through the adaptive reuse of artworks and high-durability materials intended to stand the test of time. Throughout the multi-year transformation, no effort was spared to ensure responsible upcycling of materials from the original design and introduction of eco-conscious technologies.

A DESTINATION FOR BOLD CELEBRATIONS AND CONNECTIONS

Upholding its acclaim as one of Singapore’s most beloved social hubs, seven distinctive dining experiences will continue to delight discerning palates. With the reopening of 10|Scotts on 3 July 2025, diners can embark on a gastronomic journey rooted in culture and craftsmanship, such as Singapore’s most-loved halal buffet at StraitsKitchen featuring signature dishes from across Southeast Asia, to hearty Italian classics at Pete’s Place, and Oasis, a lifestyle destination by the pool. Guests can also look forward to contemporary Italian cuisine at Le Pristine Singapore by Michelin-starred Chef Sergio Herman, as well as the ever-popular afternoon tea at 10|Scotts, now refreshed with elegant interiors and an elevated menu—ideal for both corporate and leisure occasions. Located at the address on Orchard Road, 10|Scotts brings the elemental flavours of the Mediterranean into refined, shareable bites. The menu showcases regional authenticity, crafted by a talented team of chefs using farm-fresh produce and delicate, traditional ingredients. Designed for sharing, it captures the spirit of Mediterranean dining: simple, social, and full of character.

At Damai, the hotel’s integrated Wellness Hub, guests can enjoy therapeutic spa rituals backed by science and traditional remedies, as well as new-age facilities, like the Halo Steam Room, Air Lounge Hydro Pool, Dual Therapy Sauna, Wellness Pool, and outdoor guided fitness sessions. Complementing this is Grand Vitality, Grand Hyatt Singapore’s exclusive fitness and wellness membership, designed to help individuals reconnect, recover, and reclaim their wellbeing holistically. Members enjoy access to a holistic suite of facilities, including the outdoor movement lawn, thermal-hydro experiences, and state-of-the-art gym, alongside unlimited classic group classes like Chair Yoga and Wall Yoga.

With the introduction of the Mind Body Therapy Wall, the only one of its kind in a Singapore hotel, Damai’s commitment to accessible, results-driven movement is exemplified in its provision of safe, supported movement to enhance flexibility, alignment, and mind-body awareness, offering guests, members, and the wider community a unique approach to conscious movement, recovery, and strength-building.

Damai has also recently unveiled its next-generation spa treatments through its Mind Body Wellness programme. Signature experiences such as The Recovery, The Waves, and The Awakening integrate a range of techniques including vibroacoustic therapy, light and heat treatment, and oceanic minerals to restore natural rhythms and alleviate ailments like fatigue, jet lag, and digital stress.

REIMAGINED ICON FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

With refreshing new guest experiences, wellness-driven programming, and unwavering commitment to responsible hospitality, Grand Hyatt Singapore re-emerges as more than just a luxury hotel—it is a cultural institution and experiential destination for discerning travellers, served by a trusted team of associates. 

To exemplify these key pillars, a series of carefully designed activities will be hosted from 18 July to 14 September 2025.  Please refer to attached Appendix for details of each activity.
