InterContinental Singapore has received top honours at the TDM Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2024 – Asia, winning both Luxury Hotel of the Year – Singapore and Wedding Hotel of the Year – Singapore.
The hotel’s strategic location at the heart of Bugis precinct, close to landmarks like Arab Street and Kampong Glam, adds to its charm. Just a short drive from Singapore Changi Airport and situated conveniently near the Bugis Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station, InterContinental Singapore provides access to the rest of the city. This prime location is complemented by the directly adjacent Bugis Junction shopping mall, which spans over 200 retail and dining outlets, making it a hub of convenience and excitement for guests.
InterContinental Singapore’s design and ambiance reflect the rich cultural heritage of Singapore, particularly the influence of Peranakan culture, a blend of Chinese and Malay traditions dating back to the 17th century. The hotel’s colonial-inspired façade seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, exuding timeless elegance that pays homage to Singapore’s architectural history. Inside, the interiors draw inspiration from Peranakan heritage, with architecture and décor echoing the grace and charm of traditional Peranakan homes.
In 2023, the hotel launched the Signature Butler Service, offering an exquisitely tailored, end-to-end experience designed to cater to the needs of guests before they even arrived. Guests can likewise immerse themselves in InterContinental Singapore’s exclusive Sunset Cruise experience, where every detail is tailored by a team of dedicated butlers.
“We take pride in creating incredible occasions. From bespoke welcomes to exclusive off-site dining experiences, our team is expertly equipped to handle any request with grace and precision,” Andreas Kraemer, General Manager, said.
The hotel’s Club InterContinental experience also offers an array of premium services, focussed on the three main pillars of guest experiences — cultural, wellness, and dining. It provides an intimate and exclusive setting designed for luxury travellers.
InterContinental Singapore’s excellence extends to its wedding offerings, where the team goes above and beyond to create unforgettable memories for couples.
From the moment couples arrive, they are welcomed warmly by the wedding specialist and team, who provide a personalised in-room check-in to the luxurious bridal suite, as part of its latest initiative, The Wedding Journey.
Every detail in the suite, including customised pillowcases and InterContinental Singapore’s charming wedding mascots, Baba Lionel and Nyonya Leia, is thoughtfully arranged to create an atmosphere of romance and whimsy. A specially curated care basket for the bride is also prepared, offering essential items to ensure she feels pampered and radiant on her big day.
As the celebration unfolds, the couple is treated to a lavish turndown service, featuring champagne, a selection of nuts, and luxurious bath amenities that enhance the sense of indulgence. “These indulgent touches allow the couple to relax and rejuvenate, elevating their overall wedding experience,” Kraemer added.
After the celebrations, the wedding manager bids the couple a heartfelt farewell with a special gift or token of appreciation.
“At InterContinental Singapore, we recognise that a wedding is not merely an event but a lifelong journey of love, joy, and celebration,” Kraemer said. “We’re honoured to be part of this journey, creating a connection that extends far beyond the wedding day, ensuring every moment is magical and every memory cherished forever.”
Winning both Luxury Hotel of the Year – Singapore and Wedding Hotel of the Year – Singapore reflects InterContinental Singapore’s dedication to excellence in hospitality. With a focus on cultural heritage, personalised luxury, and creating unforgettable experiences, InterContinental Singapore has set a new standard in Singapore’s luxury hotel landscape.
