Hotel Parkroyal on Pickering, Singapore
Expert reviews
“The stunning architecture at this hotel integrates environmental principles both inside and out; its lush sky gardens can be seen from the street. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows are used throughout to decrease the need for artificial lighting.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Singapore.
“Dramatic, cascading gardens, bird-cage cabanas right on the infinity pool, and a striking design evocative of terraced paddy fields: this outstanding hotel is the work of local architecture firm Woha, which designed everything down to the wastepaper baskets.”
“This “hotel-in-a-garden” is a stylish place to stay, with four floors boasting balconies covered in lush greenery. It offers excellent views of the city skyline from the outdoor infinity pool, and facilities include a spa, gym, restaurant, and members lounge. The location makes it a handy base for exploring Singapore.”

All you need to know
If you’ve ever wanted to sleep inside a futuristic jungle, the Parkroyal on Pickering is your spot. Designed by the famous local architecture firm WOHA, this place completely redefines the concept of a “hotel in a garden” by essentially rolling out a massive vertical park right on its facade.
Opened in 2013, the building stands out instantly with its crazy, undulating concrete layers. The designers actually modeled these contours after natural rock formations and Asian paddy fields, giving the whole structure a unique, fluid look that contrasts perfectly with the surrounding city skyboxes.
The coolest part? It features over 15,000 square meters of lush greenery, waterfalls, and planter terraces. That’s actually double the land area of the site itself! It’s basically a self-sustaining eco-wonderland, powered by solar energy and a smart rainwater harvesting system to keep all those plants happy.
To top it off, the fifth floor features an amazing infinity pool flanked by colorful, birdcage-shaped cabanas. It’s a wildly popular architectural icon that proves modern luxury doesn’t have to cost the Earth.

Iconic property
Iconic property in amid the hustle and bustle of China town. The pool with the view of the hotels architecture was stunning. Our room was nice, comfy and with some Singapore skyline views.

Very good
Good location, comfy beds, loved the lush gardens across the property.
The lighting in the room wasn't great - it felt quite dark a lot of the time. Some more direct lighting in the bathroom area would have been handy.

Tropical paradise
The staff were warm and knowledgeable. They offered me a late checkout which was kind. The gardens are stunning.
I loved everything but I think the pool bar menu could have some smaller snacks rather than just huge meals and maybe some more snack street food/local cuisine would be fun.

Amazing staff, 100% the best "thing" the hotel can offer. Good position and good breakfast.
Something outdated in the room and rusty "cages" in the pool at 5th floor. Nothing too crazy but that's it.

Beautifully designed and comfortable hotel
A beautifully built hotel created with a focus on combining hotel luxury with sustainability. Located on the edge of China Town within easy walk of the quays and food markets. Close to the metro as well. Amazing facilities, good buffet breakfast with a wide selection of food options and great service. Rooms are of a good size and furnishings comfortable and modern.
We had some issues initially with having the bed set up for our kids which resulted in a room change late at night. Other than this issue I cannot fault the staff, the rooms, the facilities or the hotel in general. Drink prices are at the high end (not unexpected though).

This was truly special. A fantastic way to start our honeymoon. The staff even brought us a cake to celebrate.
Beautiful property with great staff
Nothing but we didn’t include breakfast so can’t comment on the food.

Magnificently designed hotel with excellent rooms. Pool area beautiful but pool drink prices obscene .
Beautiful hotel.
Location a little sterile. Cost of drinks by the pool just outrageous ($AUD 18 for a can of tiger beer).

Stylish and well-located hotel with a unique concept
A beautifully designed hotel with a strong focus on greenery and sustainability, creating a fresh and modern atmosphere. The location is excellent – right next to Chinatown with plenty of dining options, and very close to the metro for easy access around the city. The rooms are spacious and thoughtfully designed. While there were some minor cleanliness details that could be improved, the overall comfort and design make for a very pleasant stay. Breakfast offers a good variety in a lively setting, though the quality could be slightly more refined. The hotel can be busy at times, especially in the evenings. Overall, a stylish and well-located hotel that offers a unique concept and a comfortable stay.

Beautiful Sustainable Hotel
Parkroyal Pickering is a sustainable luxury hotel, convenient location with a very relaxing vibe. The staff go out of their way to help and please but never in a pushy way. Would recommend including the breakfast, one of the best on offer. The room was quiet, the bed was really comfortable and shades darkened the room at night
There is nothing to dislike about this unique hotel
26 April 2026
Absolutely amazing, would choose this hotel any time again
Absolutely amazing! Facilities - everything well though through for your comfort
If I reaaaally need to look for something, breakfast is a bit crowded during the rush hours.

Location is great, many hawker centers nearby and close to MRT. Good size of the rooms, spa, gym and pool. Nice loby.
The room was not cleaned fully, there were bits of litter left inder and near the bed.

Peaceful. Restful. Valued.
The hotel is excellent. We were given an upgrade and the room was frankly amazing. Brent who looked after out bags couldn't have been more helpful. The staff who came and set up our daughter's bed were awesome too. We spent a relaxing afternoon at the beautiful infinity pool followed by a delicious dinner at the restaurant. We all slept great and were sad to leave. Great place to stay as a stopover or longer. We will definitely be back

I’d return as the staff truly made the stay memorable
Greenery, excellent location. Truly, it’s the staff that made the place.
There’s signs of age. Eg couches in the lobby are rather worn and dated.

Wonderful, scenic and family friendly hotel with great staff to cater for your needs.
The staff, the food and the pool view 😍
Room was a little cramped but only because we were a large family but everyone slept very comfortably.

Would stay again :)
This property is wonderful - lovely to be amongst the greenery and the breakfast is next level !
Minor - We had free mini bar in our 2 rooms and there were many missing items that they did not provide.

A fabulous stay in an amazing hotel!
We loved the biophilic design with all the gardens. The approach to sustainability was better than almost all hotels we have stayed in. The pool deck was amazing with a great view of the skyline.
Nothing bad to say!
