HOUSED in a modern 20-story building along the tree-lined Orchard Boulevard, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore is a residential oasis just minutes from shopping centers, family attractions and the city’s bustling financial district.

Times have changed but Four Seasons’ dedication to perfecting the travel experience never will. Their highly personalized 24-hour service, combined with authentic, elegant surroundings of the highest quality, embodies a home away from home for those who know and appreciate the best. As the company has grown from a single hotel to 90 in 36 countries, deeply instilled culture, personified by its employees, Four Seasons continues to get stronger. Over more than 50 years, the people behind Four Seasons have built an unrivalled depth of reliability, trust and connection with its guests—a connection they will steadfastly uphold always.

Known as a central hub for modern Asian finance and industry, Singapore also boasts a rich and diverse cultural tapestry. The island’s exotic mix of Chinese, Indian and Malay ethnicities and British colonial influences make for a fun, fascinating visit.

Beginning with the launch of the company in 1960, this timeline illustrates milestones in the story of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. Four Seasons senior executives have more combined experience than any other team in our industry. Their stories speak for themselves.

Look beyond Singapore’s glass-and-concrete surface and designer shopping centers and you’ll find a multicultural vibrancy that balances the island’s exotic past with colonial elegance.

Guided by their shared values, Four Seasons has identified high-priority areas where they believe they can make a difference. This clear vision allows them to work together most effectively, as individuals, as a company and as a partner.

Four Seasons is committed to conducting business in a manner that complies with applicable laws and is, and is perceived to be, consistent with the highest ethical standards, including standards intended to prevent bribery and corruption. The establishment is especially committed to understanding the risks that may compromise these standards and using all reasonable efforts to ensure that those who provide services to and for Four Seasons, including employees, contractors and agents, are aware of and share our commitment to an ethical and anti-bribery culture.

Evidently, staying at the hotel is one of the most beautiful and ultimate experiences. From the lobby, which has beautiful artworks with marble flooring, Four Seasons Hotel exemplifies beauty and artistry.

Four Seasons Hotel serves as the ultimate couple getaway and romantic rendezvous with its three new indulgent experiences. Steal away with that special someone to an oasis of calm on our “Couple’s Floor,” receive uninterrupted time with “Indulgence Till Noon” and have your very own “Experiential Assistant” pamper you with bespoke pre-arrival services.

Specifically designed for couples, our Adults Only 11th floor is a relaxed, luxurious cocoon for lovers. Alight from the elevator landing and be treated to fruit and chocolates, presented three different times of the day. Soft fabrics and chic color tones with light pastels accent the corridor. Hallway lighting changes morning, afternoon and evening to create a romantic atmosphere. Best thing is, all rooms on this floor contain special romantic touches such as sensual massage oils, throw pillows, free-flow candy jars, a “Love Box” with love poems by renowned poets and a range of romantic DVDs and CDs. In the bathroom, dimmer mood lighting and soothing L’Occitane bath amenities stir the senses.

Located on tranquil, tree-lined Orchard Boulevard, Four Seasons Hotel Singapore provides a welcome oasis of calm in the midst of the city’s bustle for both business and leisure travelers. The hotel’s contemporary exterior belies its uniquely residential interiors which are both grand and gracious, evoking a feeling of timeless elegance.

A treasure trove of some 1,500 Asian and international art pieces are displayed throughout the public areas and guest rooms.

It is steps away from the golden mile of the shopping and entertainment belt along Orchard Road, a jog away from the Botanic Gardens, 15 minutes southeast to the Central Business District and Marina Bay area and 15 minutes south to Sentosa Island attractions and Universal Studios. Also a mere 25 minutes from Changi International Airport.

All 255 refurbished guest rooms, including 40 suites, are designed by Hirsch Bedner and Associates in soothing earth tones of mocha, beige and ivory with burgundy accents, and decorated with Asian influences. Guest rooms are spacious in size at 49 square meters with high ceilings and picture windows that allow for natural daylight and a view of the greenery and cityscape.

Rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi and CAT6 high-speed Internet connectivity, VGA port, audio speakers, 42″ LCD flat-screen TV, DVD/CD players, MP3 player connection, international sockets, minibar, coffee and tea maker and an in-room safe.

Meanwhile, guests can enjoy a selection of award-winning cuisines at bistro-grill, One-Ninety for local and international fare all day and a sumptuous Champagne Sunday Brunch spread on Sundays. The Chinese restaurant Jiang-Nan Chun’s classical Cantonese cuisine delights with dim-sum lunches and à la carte dinners. Weekend Oriental Brunch features 101 dim sums. The Bar Alfresco offers indoor and outdoor seating, and is the perfect place for light snacks, afternoon tea and cocktails.

A remarkable range of facilities for relaxation and fitness await at Four Seasons Hotel Singapore. Spanning 6,000 sq m, facilities include a 24-hour gym, a private exercise studio, two outdoor swimming pools, four tennis courts including two indoor air-conditioned, as well as five treatment rooms offering a full range of pampering services at the SPA by Forbes Travel Guide as one of the top four spas in the city. SPA also offers the first chemical-free products for body and facial treatments—Sodashi from Australia, and features visiting therapists from the various Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts’ award-winning spas.
