This Singapore Hotel Has Been Named As the World’s New Best Skyscraper

Welcome to Singapore’s impressive Pan Pacific Orchard, an architectural wonder that’s changing how people see city hotels. Imagine going up a tower that feels more like a neighborhood than a building. This hotel, recognized as the world’s best new tall building by a major industry group, brings a unique mix of nature and modern urban life right to your doorstep.

The design of the tower is bold and fresh, with its L-shaped blocks providing room for amazing urban gardens. Each of the four levels offers a different theme, all inspired by the tropical climate of Singapore. As you climb higher, from forest to beach, garden to cloud, you’ll be taken on a journey that mirrors the natural beauty outside.

The Forest Terrace welcomes everyone with calming waterfalls and native plants. It’s not just for hotel guests but a green oasis amid the busy Orchard area. Instead of entering a typical lobby, you step into a magical forest – a quiet retreat from the city’s hustle and bustle.

As you go higher, you reach the Beach Terrace, a favorite spot for lounging by the pool lined with palm trees. It’s perfect for a refreshing swim or relaxing in the shade. You then wander upwards to the Garden Terrace, where pathways invite you to walk through manicured lawns and take in the serene atmosphere. At the top is the Cloud Terrace, a breathtaking venue where you can attend events while enjoying stunning views of the city skyline.

This open-air design does more than just look good; it also functions as a natural sunshade and rain shelter. Each level shields the one below it, a must-have feature in Singapore’s hot, humid climate. Many of the 347 rooms boast balconies that overlook these green spaces, connecting you with the landscape around.

Inside, you’ll find more than just rooms. The hotel includes a ballroom seating 400 guests and several dining options serving delicious meals. On the rooftop, solar panels form a neat canopy, reflecting a move towards sustainable energy use.

Singapore itself is famous for its nature-loving architecture, earning it the nickname “the garden city.” This didn’t happen by accident. With rules that require green spaces in new buildings, Singapore pushes forward with creating urban jungles that benefit both the environment and people’s well-being. In Pan Pacific Orchard, there’s three times more greenery than what is required by local laws.

The architects at WOHA didn’t just create another skyscraper. Their vision was a building that breathes with life. They wanted to show that high-rise structures can be like green lungs in crowded urban areas. Think of it as a lively ecosystem high above the streets, contributing positively to the city’s environment.

Picture checking into this hotel, where a balance of nature and style welcomes you from the moment you arrive. Whether you’re a guest relaxing by the pool or dining in one of the restaurants, you’re part of a sustainable concept, enjoying a Healthier side of urban life.
