The COMO Group announces that the newest addition to its global portfolio and the first hotel in its home country, COMO Metropolitan Singapore, will launch in September 2023 with a soft opening. The property will be located within COMO Orchard, the brand’s newest immersive experience building spread over 19 floors in the heart of Singapore on Bideford Road.
It is the most complete iteration yet of the vision that brings together COMO Group’s hospitality, fashion, wellness and cuisine into one inspiring location. COMO Orchard will host COMO Metropolitan Singapore’s 11 floors of luxury accommodations, a rooftop pool bar for guests, as well floors for dining, a wellness center, and fashion retail. The result is an inspiring gathering place for innovators and creatives with a passion for the COMO-curated life.
Opening in successive phases starting in September, the 156-room hotel boasting city-wide views is the first of the spaces in COMO Orchard to launch. For this project, the COMO group has collaborated with several award-winning talents including Italian architect Paola Navone (Otto Studio), Japanese interior design-consultant Koichiro Ikebuchi (Atelier Ikebuchi), American-Thai interior designer Preeti Sriratana (Modellus Novus) and Norweigian digital artist Thomas Hilland.
The brand's wellness center, COMO Shambhala, has been leading preventative health in the hospitality industry for over 25 years throughout 16 global COMO properties. The newest addition to the COMO Shambhala portfolio, COMO Orchard’s nine thousand square foot wellness facility dedicated to holistic wellbeing offers luxury spa treatments and addresses both core movement - yoga, Pilates, Gyro, gym and functional fitness - and nutrition including gut health and body composition diagnostics. Classes, workshops, one-day Wellness Packages and multi-day Wellness Paths allow guests to choose their wellness journey, or have one curated for them.
COMO Orchard will host three dining establishments throughout the building. Debuting its first-ever international location is the beloved Michelin-starred New York and Miami Korean steakhouse, COTE by restaurateur Simon Kim, offering signature cocktails and an impressive wine selection. For visitors in search of a nutrient-packed meal, COMO Cuisine will be serving all-day dining classics featuring Singaporean favorites, as well as healthy fare from the celebrated COMO Shambhala Cuisine. Also making his Asia debut is internationally acclaimed French pastry chef Cédric Grolet, who will serve his signature, extraordinary confections in his pastry shop on the first floor.
With two floors dedicated to fashion retail curated by multi-label boutique Club 21, visitors will find dynamic, seasonal collections and pop-up partnerships. Personal shoppers will be available to help navigate the space and purchases will be delivered directly from the Club 21 floors to guests' hotel wardrobes.
The way these different innovators and luxury lifestyle experiences intersect is seamlessly integrated in the flow of the building’s spatial design, the introduction of fuss-free technology and signature COMO service. The result is a global first: an inspiring gathering place to suit all moods, from morning to late, for customers with a passion for the COMO vision of what modern luxury can really mean.
