If you haven’t already heard, Singapore’s beloved Orchard area – crowned the coolest neighbourhood in Singapore for 2024 – is currently in the midst of a big revamp. Some telltale signs? The revival of monthly street bazaar Night at Orchard, new foodie mall Taste Orchard, and an upcoming live music and entertainment venue that’s shaping up as we speak. And there’s plenty more to come.
Naturally, this puts more eyeballs on Orchard as a go-to place for hangouts and stays – both for locals and tourists. Hotels have been jumping onto the opportunity to grab a share of that prime land, with Artyzen, Pan Pacific Orchard, and most recently The Standard, Singapore, opening along the stretch. Soon to join the stylish line-up is Asia-Pacific’s first-ever NoMad Hotel, a luxury lifestyle hotel brand under Hilton.
Set to take over the current Faber House building at 230 Orchard Road, NoMad Hotel Singapore is said to have a nature-centric design, with features including a cascading 15-storey waterfall, and a lush cliff-like, botanical elements interwoven as part of its facade – bringing a literal breath of fresh air to the concrete jungle that it’s set in. Of course, one cannot expect any less of WOHA Architects, the world-renowned firm behind the striking design concept of the hotel. The homegrown architecture company also also counts Punggol Digital District, 21 Carpenter, and Pan Pacific Orchard as some of its other projects, and the latter of the three even won a global Best Tall Building award last year.
Housing a total of 173 guest rooms, NoMad Hotel at Orchard Road Singapore will have plenty of attractive facilities like an infinity pool, a sky terrace, events spaces, as well as in-house food and drink options – so it’s safe to say that we can look forward to trying out some new restaurants and bars there in time to come.
No matter which branch you’re staying in, part of the whole NoMad Hotel experience is meant to provide guests with an experience that combines modernity with local elements, so expect lots of Singapore-centric touches here including works by local artists.
NoMad Hotel Singapore is slated to open along Orchard Road in 2027. In the meantime, check out some of the other amazing new hotels and resorts in Singapore including Mandai Rainforest Resort where you can stay in a luxe treehouse amidst nature; grand all-villa resort Raffles Sentosa Singapore; as well as The Laurus, another Sentosa hotel with elegant suites and not one but three swimming pools. We’re spoiled for choice and loving it.
