The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore Announces New Club Lounge at the Top of the Hotel

Located on level 32, the highest level of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, the newly-renovated Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge was unveiled in August 2013.

Designed by Burega Farnell, the new Club Lounge offers guests exclusive access while residing in the luxury Singapore hotel, with panoramic views of the Marina Bay and Kallang River. Luxurious details include custom-tailored furniture and hand-woven carpets complementing Indonesian teak wood flooring and Italian marble. Wood feature panels and shimmering crystal design features contribute to the overall elegant aesthetic.

"The new Club Lounge is not only the quintessentially luxurious vantage point for travelers but it is a setting created by our ladies and gentlemen that will provide an experience evoking stories and memories for our Club guests long after their stay with us. The new Club Lounge is tailored to be inspirational and experiential, with unique settings such as the Drawing Room, a private alcove for guests to sketch the panoramic views, to presentations of bespoke handcrafted cocktails and elegant Sunday champagne brunch. We desire guests to rediscover the pleasures of travel, taking the time to savour an exquisitely-presented three-tier afternoon tea, wine presentations by a sommelier, to being surprised by their caricature by a resident artist another evening," says Peter Mainguy, General Manager of The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore.
