The spacious guest rooms unfold over six light-filled floors; each features warm white rugs, white oak-planked floors and broad bay windows. The rooms also feature deep-seated sofas, and hand sewn damask throws that swathe the beds.
At the core of the architecture and interior design of the new hotel is seamless access to nature with sweeping vistas and greenery integrated throughout, including a skypark and lushly planted, sunken garden,, which complement the hotel’s bronze and glass facade and white marbled lobby, whose simple purity is contrasted by a stunning domed ceiling covered with gold leaf.
Within, the Lobby Bar is an eye-popping space sheathed in sharp pink velvet where a rose-coloured pool table of Calacutta marble and oversized pink backlit bar display hold centre-stage. Christian Liaigre doe leather chairs and lamps accent the space, while the bar itself is styled with Lalique-inspired crystal decanters and sculptures.

Flanking the soaring white aerie of the lobby and reception is a high vaulted-ceilinged, timber-lined restaurant spearheaded by Australian restaurateur, multi-award-winning chef and author Josh Niland in his first overseas project. Aptly named FYSH at EDITION, this lofty space features an impressive sustainable seafood-focused steakhouse menu alongside responsibly sourced vegetables and meats. Anchored by a custom-made bar in green scalloped Antico Verde marble, the main dining room seats 80 across intimate jade-coloured velvet banquettes and booths with Calacutta white marble tables.
Equally unforgettable is the second-floor spa whose mood-lit reception leads to seven treatment rooms, his-and-her changing suites that feature sunken vitality thermal pools, an ice fountain, relaxation lounge, sauna and steam room, alongside a gym furnished with high-performance weights and exercise equipment.
The Singapore Edition saves its bravura moment for the swimming pool and rooftop terrace. Accessible via The Roof bar, the pool is framed with languid day beds and stretches a full 43-m from tip-to-tip, seemingly floating like an all-white space vessel over the garden courtyard nine floors below.
