The interior volumes of the Pan Pacific Orchard in Singapore took our breath away. Looking like something out of science fiction or fantasy renderings, the 350-room hotel is very real, indeed.

With four enormous terraces cut out of the facade, the tower’s form is unusual, to say the least. But what it allows in terms of experience and perspective, is quite striking.

With huge planted landscaping, massive planted columns, and mirrored ceilings, the open spaces house a fantastical swimming pool, and large lounge spaces.

Considered the Best Tall Building Worldwide by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, describes it as a ‘hotel in nature’, and exemplifies Singapore’s sustainable vision.

The details like the mirrored ceiling extend and expand the look of the space, making it feel almost surreal, like something out of Inception.

All of this without even mentioning the hotel’s interior, makes for quite the impression.

  1. Amazing! So glad you were able to visit. We want to check it out in person!

  2. Went up to one of the garden levels last year for a dinner and the views were great. The whole place feels futuristic but serene too.
