A Vertical Garden Oasis
In a city known for pushing design boundaries, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering still manages to turn heads. Perched on the edge of Chinatown, this hotel is an eco-architectural marvel—a “hotel-in-a-garden” concept brought to life by award-winning WOHA Architects. Think dramatic sky gardens, lush terraced greenery, and cascading vines draping a glass-and-steel skeleton. It’s less “urban jungle” and more urban rainforest, and it’s unlike anything else in Singapore.
Biophilic Design at Its Boldest
Nature is not an afterthought here—it’s the blueprint. Over 15,000 square meters of gardens, reflecting pools, and waterfalls are integrated into the architecture, softening the building’s lines and cooling the microclimate. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability is evident from the solar-powered systems to rainwater harvesting and energy-efficient features. The result? A building that breathes, rather than simply exists.
Inside, the design ethos continues. Guest rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows with panoramic views of the city or verdant foliage, while neutral tones, wood textures, and organic forms make each space feel serene and grounded. Even the hallways and lobbies are extensions of the greenery outside—a sensory experience of movement, light, and calm.
Wellness Meets Conscious Luxury
At the fifth-floor wellness level, you’ll find an outdoor infinity pool with sweeping skyline views, a tranquil garden walking path, and a state-of-the-art fitness centre. Lime, the hotel’s signature restaurant, serves up vibrant Southeast Asian and international dishes in a bright, modern space that opens to—you guessed it—more garden views. This is not a place of flashy luxury. It’s a place of conscious indulgence, where sustainability and style are perfectly in sync.
DNA Hotels Verdict
PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering proves that green design doesn’t mean compromising on aesthetics or comfort. It’s Singapore’s most photogenic eco-retreat, and a must for travelers who crave architectural wow-factor, lush serenity, and a bold statement of what the future of hospitality can—and should—look like.
