Designed by award-winning firm P49 Design and spanning over 7,650 square meters, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, is purposefully crafted to present guests with enriching moments of exploration, relaxation, and celebration.
Drawing from colonial and tropical influences, the hotel embodies a sophisticated aesthetic that blends contemporary elegance with Singapore’s rich heritage.
Open verandahs and historically inspired details are incorporated to shape a distinctive environment that celebrates cultural authenticity with quiet elegance.
Orchids, Singapore’s national flower, grace the property in carefully curated arrangements, reinforcing the hotel’s intimate connection to local culture and nature while adding beauty to every space.
Throughout the property, art and design elements reflect the discerning taste of a cosmopolitan collector.
The Buffy Fish Owl, native to Southeast Asia and once found across Singapore’s mangroves, is featured prominently as a symbol of the hotel’s identity.
Often seen as timeless creatures evoking wisdom, sophistication, and guardianship, the owl appears in the form of sculptures and a striking stained-glass installation, anchoring the guest experience in heritage and nature.
This narrative is further deepened by a curated selection of art pieces from the renowned William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings, adding depth and layers of discovery to each guest’s journey.
A striking centerpiece in the lobby of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, the custom chandelier crafted by the award-winning artisans at globally acclaimed design house Lasvit, draws inspiration from laurel leaves.
Showcasing handcrafted glass leaves illuminated from within, the delicate branches are crafted from minimalist metal tubes.
The chandelier evokes a sense of lightness and grace, enhancing the space's ambiance with a gentle, airy presence that seamlessly combines artistry and serenity.
