The Standard to Debut in Singapore This November
The Standard has announced the opening of The Standard, Singapore, on November 28, 2024. Following the success of The Standard, Hua Hin (2021) and The Standard, Bangkok Mahanakhon (2022), both of which received recognition from Conde Nast Traveler, this new property continues the brand’s expansion in Southeast Asia. Located on Orange Grove Road near the UNESCO-listed Botanic Gardens and the popular Orchard Road, The Standard, Singapore, integrates lush landscapes and cultural touches in line with Singapore's "City in a Garden" vision.
The design is a collaboration between Standard International’s design team and the Ministry of Design, blending Eastern and Western aesthetics to reflect Singapore's diverse culture. The hotel features 143 rooms across eight floors, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the pool and district greenery. An inviting path from The Garden on the first and second floors, filled with art installations and curated landscapes, leads to the pool area, providing guests a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy equatorial sunsets. Local artists' contributions enhance the property's homage to the nearby botanical gardens.
Dining experiences are central to The Standard, Singapore, aimed at attracting both guests and locals. Kaya, the main restaurant, offers a fresh take on the Izakaya concept, with Japanese-inspired dishes incorporating local ingredients. The menu includes nigiri, maki, and robatayaki, accompanied by a range of sake and whisky selections. Adjacent to Kaya, the Kaya Bar serves as an evening social hub, aligning with The Standard’s nightlife focus. Café Standard, on the ground floor, offers American classics with natural wines and craft beers, designed as a lively all-day neighborhood hangout.
In celebration of its opening, The Standard, Singapore, will provide a limited-time 15% discount on its Best Available Room-Only Rate (BAR), along with welcome drinks and a 20% dining discount. This exclusive offer invites guests to experience the brand’s unique approach to luxury and culture, making The Standard, Singapore, a memorable addition to the city’s hospitality scene.

Lea Salonga's First Ever Wax Figure Takes Center Stage with Unveiling at Madame Tussauds Singapore
Broadway legend Lea Salonga set the stage ablaze as she unveiled her wax figure with Madame Tussauds Singapore, at an exclusive event in Manila, Philippines.
Lea is a multiple award-winning singer and actress recognised not only in the Philippines but the entire world. Her remarkable performance as the first-ever Asian to play Eponine in the musical Les Misérables left a lasting impression on Broadway, as did her Tony and Olivier Award winning performances as Kim in Miss Saigon, and her legendary voice work for Disney princesses Jasmine and Mulan.
Lea enthused, “I am deeply honored and thankful to receive my own wax figure. The wait is over, and I'm thrilled for you all to see it. It means so much to me to be able to join the remarkable lineup of Filipinos immortalised at Madame Tussauds.”
The unveiling event was held at the luxury entertainment destination Solaire Resort Entertainment City in Parañaque, Metro Manila, where 10 lucky fans won a chance to meet Lea and her wax twin. “We're thrilled to welcome Lea to our star-studded attraction!” shared Elaine Quek, Head of Sales and Marketing at Madame Tussauds Singapore. “Our team of expert sculptors spent up to six months making the figure, paying meticulous attention to detail to ensure that this wax figure captures her spirit and charisma. Together with Lea, we have chosen a pose that exudes her magnetic presence on stage where her talent and personality shine through. We hope that through this figure, her legacy continues to inspire visitors globally.”
To celebrate this launch even more, Madame Tussauds Singapore has also partnered Klook Philippines with a limited-time 1-for-1 Madame Tussauds ticket promotion. https://www.madametussauds.com/singapore/tickets/ |
