The Standard, Singapore, which opened in late 2024 on Orange Grove Road, is a playful, design-forward addition to the city’s skyline. Created in collaboration with the local studio Ministry of Design, the hotel is a “tropical urban oasis” that pays homage to Singapore’s “City-in-a-Garden” identity. Its interiors are a vibrant mix of mid-century modern aesthetics and lush greenery, purposefully blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces.
A standout feature of the lobby is the custom reception counter, cleverly designed to resemble an oversized terrarium filled with palm trees and flora, a nod to the brand’s iconic “The Box” installation from their original Hollywood location. The hotel also features a stunning stepped garden courtyard and a lively rooftop pool with a swim-up bar, making it a perfect spot to soak in the equatorial sun.
The rooms are masterclasses in clever, space-saving design. Despite being compact, they are packed with personality, featuring bright pops of primary colors, custom joinery, and floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of the pool or the surrounding greenery. It’s an approach that feels both functional and intentionally quirky.
Its location is incredibly convenient for those who love to explore. Situated between the bustling shopping mecca of Orchard Road and the serene, UNESCO-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens, you get the best of both worlds. Whether you are hunting for artisanal finds or looking for a peaceful nature walk, you are perfectly positioned at the heart of the action.
Expert reviews
“Tucked off buzzy Orchard Road, the Standard, Singapore, gives midcentury modern a tropical twist by setting the scene with bold colors, retro-inspired decor, and lush greenery. Art pops everywhere, from Eric Tobua’s surreal reception-desk diorama to Samuel Xun’s larger-than-life floral courtyard sculpture.”

Very good price and value ( particularly if avoided Fri and Sat)
Location near to Orchard Rd so great for shopping.
New and shiny addition to the Singapore Hotel scene. Very good restaurant , different and interesting options.
Felt the room was smaller than we expected (compared to the Standard in Bangkok) . Also the bar scene was non existent

Nice stay and location with a relaxing pool.
Very beautiful hotel. I really liked that they have a Bluetooth speaker to listen to your own music. View was nice looking down to the pool. Their restaurant was also great for lunch. Good WiFi.
There could be one more trash bin in the room. But that’s just a very small detail.

Better than expected, given the location.
Singapore hotels were a bit busy in the two trips there (Feb 3-6, 10-13) because of the Singapore Airshow, so I had to pick "The Standard" in lieu of my usual hotels. The place seemed a little out of the way, but the shuttle service was mostly reliable, so that worked out ok.

High quality leafy sactuary
Super luxurious leafy sanctuary for us at the end of our SE Asia trip. Our room overlooking the pool, with huge windows, the pool and service was exceptional. The two restaurants very high quality. Amazing quiet green spaces to enjoy outside.

Exceptionally beautiful hotel in stunning grounds.
Exceptionally well-designed. Beautiful poolside where there was always enough space. Stunning grounds and plants.
Hardly any complaints, but being hit with a £300 laundry bill at the end of my stay caused a little bit of pain. If I had known it would be that much, I would have washed everything in the sink! When I first checked in, the hotel desk guy seemed very flustered and unsure of what he was doing. I waited about half an hour before I was able to check in. He did not communicate well.

Nice place and in a good location near Orchard Road.
It was in a good location and had nice outdoor space.
The music by the pool was too loud. The room lacked any proper storage for cloths.

Lovely, well designed hotel
The well designed, light room with nice bathroom & comfortable bed plus leafy breakfast area downstairs felt exactly right. Nice variety of food choices. Attentive and friendly staff. Beautiful pool.
The room is gorgeous but for two people both travelling with suitcases, it is difficult to make ´living out of your suitcase ´ work.

I was extremely sick on one of the days and the duty manager personally came to my room to check I was ok
Very modern, lots of green space and great pool and rooms.
The price of food but that’s typical of Singapore I suppose, it was extremely expensive to eat anything at the hotel
13 January 2026
Singapore is very expensive but the City works.
Location was excellent. The shuttle service was brilliant and very convenient to take us to the Metro station.
I had erroneously booked an extra day and requested management for a refund which they did not consider my request for a refund.

Modern, charming hidden treasure
The view from the bedroom was fantastic and the beds were incredibly comfortable – it made it so easy to relax and unwind after a long day. The staff were also exceptionally friendly and accommodating throughout.
One of my favourite spots was the swim-up bar. Aung, the bartender, was so attentive and really made the experience memorable.
I can’t wait to return and experience it all again. It’s truly a remarkable hotel.
