EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED: QT SINGAPORE OPENS ITS DOORS

Blending lashings of luxurious playfulness with local Singaporean charm, QT opens in Singapore for a stay like no other

SINGAPORE: 16 September 2024 - QT Hotels & Resorts (part of EVT) has opened the doors to QT Singapore, a luxury lifestyle hotel and the first QT within Southeast Asia. The Group's newest hub of playful boutique experiences brings QT's signature vibrancy and renowned 'unexpected & unrequested' service to the transformed Telegraph heritage building on Robinson Road.

Norman Arundel, Director of EVT Hotels and Resorts says, “After a phenomenal transformation, QT Singapore is ready to bring its bold and creatively charged hospitality to the heart of Singapore's culturally vibrant district. With a new signature restaurant led by award-winning chef Sean Connolly and the stunning labyrinth rooftop pool and bar, guests will stay, dine and immerse themselves with unexpected delight. We can't wait to welcome local and international guests through our doors and begin a new chapter for this iconic building and for QT globally.”

Charles Tan of Sunray Singapore, hotel owner, says, “We are thrilled to introduce QT Singapore, in a collaboration between EVT and Sunray Singapore. The refurbishment of this heritage building by Sunray, a seasoned player in this field, marks an exciting new chapter for the tourism landscape in Singapore. Coupled with Sunray's commitment to innovation and excellence, EVT will bring a premium hospitality, food and beverage experience into Southeast Asia. We look forward to showcasing QT Singapore to guests and immersing in the vibrant design-led spaces QT has to offer”

Immersing in Singaporean art and design, QT Singapore has collaborated with a range of local and international artists to bring a contemporary infusion of culture and design to life.

Leading the interior design vision is Nic Graham, founder of the widely acclaimed interior design studio Nic Graham & Associates, in collaboration with the EVT Design Team.

The interior of QT Singapore plays homage to the building's original neo-classical façade, integrating architectural heritage with QT's playful design aesthetic. A bold use of colour throughout nods to Singapore's vibrant culture and style, interwoven with artistic furniture, delicate lighting, and detailing incorporating woven rattan, black framing, and classic proportions to deliver a contemporary touch. With breathtakingly spacious double-ceiling Junior, Corner, Balcony, and Premier Suites, the interior design offers an exceptional experience where luxury meets beautiful eccentricity in the most visionary way.

 

QT Singapore offers luxurious guest suites and king rooms in several styles, offering opulent stays that feel like a home away from home:

• 134 luxuriously redesigned guest rooms and suites, each with a large ensuite bathroom and separate walk-in rain shower
• Superior technology throughout, including iPad-controlled room functionality, Chromecast, and wireless Bose speakers
• Luxurious and bespoke QT Dream Bed
• Premium amenities for an indulgent stay featuring Dyson hair products 

QT's Directors of Chaos, the heart of exceptional guest experiences at all QT hotels, are dressed in a bespoke ensemble, handcrafted by local designer Hu Ruixian of Studio HHFZ. The ensembles are inspired by the multicultural traditional outfits of Singapore, with the Vanda Miss Joaquim, Singapore's national flower, serving as the central motif.

Notably, the hotel's public spaces and guest touchpoints feature print works by Jill Tran, a former Singapore-based artist renowned for her distinctive and evocative illustrations.

QT Singapore's signature dining experiences, Cygnet and Rooftop at QT, have also opened and are ready to serve. With a warm ambience and a hostess team dressed in bespoke Studio HHFZ pieces, guests can come for breakfast and stay for dinner at the buzzing Manhattan steakhouse Cygnet, where award-winning, international chef and restaurateur Chef Sean Connolly's menu of top-quality proteins and richly flavoured produce will delight the senses. Featuring a dynamic beverage and cocktail menu, including a curated world-class wine list, and table-side service for signature dishes, Cygnet offers a unique dining atmosphere at any time of day.

Rooftop at QT is open to guests for daytime relaxation and evening reflections. Serving innovative cocktails crafted from local ingredients, Rooftop at QT provides a dynamic atmosphere that merges nature with contemporary luxury, creating an engaging escape against the striking Singapore skyline. The stunning labyrinth rooftop pool will have guests mesmerised for hours soaking under the Singapore sun.

Slip into something more magical. QT Singapore welcomes you through its doors at 35 Robinson Road. Reservations for stays and dining can be made online.
