It has been under wraps for the past eight months but the Tower Wing at Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore was finally unveiled on 16 May 2017, while the 'heartware' remains distinctively Shangri-La, the interiors have experienced a significant rejuvenation to reveal a refreshed lobby, brand new rooms and suites, three novel restaurant concepts, and a revitalised club lounge.

In doing so, it dons the cloak of being an urban resort, steeped in luxury and the finest quality.

SLS Tower Wing Lobby

Sweep up the grand driveway, step into the lobby and marvel at the breath-taking ceiling art Itinstallation by renowned Japanese designer Hirotoshi Sawada, made of thousands of cascading stylised leaves, reminiscent of a Tree Canopy amidst a vibrant tropical oasis.

The iconic Tower Wing’s 503 guestrooms and suites are completely refurbished with a luxurious new look. From the lobby, reach them through the stunning lift lobby embellished with authentic Peranakan touches. Guests may choose to stay in any of the 360 Tower Wing Deluxe Rooms, 79 Horizon Club Deluxe Rooms, soon to open family-themed rooms and suites, as well as five One-Bedroom Suites and the newly added 250 square metre Grand Suite.

The rejuvenated Tower Wing Deluxe Rooms are each a spacious 38 square metres, and come complete with stylish furnishings, luxurious amenities, internet access, glass wardrobes, floor-to-ceiling windows and a choice of city or pool views. Calm and inviting with a soothing colour palette, the new accommodations are elegant havens bedecked with modern conveniences.

Guests who book the Horizon Club Rooms will have access to the exclusive Horizon Club Lounge, up on level 24. Discover unparalleled panoramas of the city skyline, best enjoyed by sinking into strategically placed armchairs that maximise the view. Have a healthy snack, a pair of dinner shoes shined or answer emails at one of the mobile work stations â€" the tastefully-designed enclave offering hassle-free and efficient services for business and leisure travellers is open 24 hours a day.

Vibrant Dining Options

One of the fresh food and beverage concepts opening in the Tower Wing includes the Lobby Lounge, which will showcase the best of Singapore favourites, including the six signature dishes of Fish Head Bee Hoon Soup, Prawn Noodle Soup, Bak Chor Mee, Hainanese Chicken Rice, Katong Laksa, and Chili Crab with Mantou. These have been selected with the help of popular local food writer Dr. Leslie Tay, who helms the blog ieatishootipost.sg, and perfected by Shangri-La’s culinary team in collaboration with the best hawkers of each dish.

Located beside the Lobby Lounge, ShopHouse is a grab-and-go retail concept offering freshly baked bread, homemade sandwiches, salads and snacks, as well as gourmet sauces, flavoured croissants, festive goodies, chocolates that are infused with local ingredients and whiskey, and 3D cakes.

An exciting addition to Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore’s exquisite dining experience is NAMI Restaurant and Bar on level 24, the art of fine Japanese dining with seamless omotenashi hospitality. Guests may reserve a seat at the counter and be prepared to witness first-hand the entire food preparation process right up to the plating and serving of the mouth-watering dishes. Out on the terrace, Japanese tapas is on the menu, perfectly paired with a wide range of premium Japanese whisky and sake. Helming both areas is Head Chef Akiba Shigeo, who himself cooked at the royal wedding of Japan’s Prince Akishinomiya and Princess Kiko.

"Visiting the renovated Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore is like dropping in on a dear friend, but one who has just returned after a retreat. You will still find the resort-like, lush gardens, warm Asian hospitality and the timeless elegance that we are well-known for. In addition to all that, we have introduced new elements that smooth out the transition between work and life in a city, so you feel completely comfortable whether you are residing on a business trip, an event or a family staycation. We cannot wait to welcome everyone back to rediscover the Shangri-La," said Reto Klauser, Vice President and General Manager, Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.
