Singapore’s iconic Orchard district is set to welcome a new hotel. Located within the serene Claymore enclave, Pan Pacific Orchard begins hosting guests from 1 June. Standing 23 stories high, and with 347 luxurious, residential-style rooms, the hotel was designed to be a tranquil sanctuary, surrounded by greenery and offering spectacular views of the famed Orchard Road shopping belt and beyond.
like three boutique hotels in one building
Award-winning Singapore-based WOHA Architects was tasked with envisioning a new prototype for high-rise tropical hospitality, and the result is nothing short of impressive.
What makes Pan Pacific Orchard different from other hotels in the area is that it gives guests the opportunity to discover Singapore’s tropical, innovative and sustainable urban environment in one building. With over 200% of the hotel’s land area enveloped in foliage, the property’s architectural approach integrates design with nature seamlessly.
WOHA’s co-founding director, Wong Mun Summ says that their main focus was to create a new hospitality experience as part of the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s push to remake and revitalise Orchard Road. “Orchard Road…used to be lined by actual orchards, and we are ‘bringing back the orchards’ through the integrated gardens and landscaping of the hotel.”
To bring this vision to life, the WOHA team designed the hotel as four seamlessly connected “stacks” or strata – Forest, Beach, Garden and Cloud, each providing exceptional experiences across unique environments.
