So Singapore by Sofitel
Nestled along Robinson Road, So Singapore by Sofitel marks a new chapter in luxury hospitality, blending French elegance with Singapore’s rich cultural heritage. This boutique hotel, part of the Sofitel family, is an embodiment of refined luxury that invites guests to experience the best of the East and West.
Designed by the Miaja Design Group, led by renowned French designer Isabelle Miaja, and enhanced by the creative genius of Karl Lagerfeld, the hotel’s interiors are an opulent reflection of sophistication. Lagerfeld, known for his work with Chanel and Fendi, has left his signature touches throughout the hotel, ensuring that no detail is overlooked.
A Heritage Landmark Meets Modern Design
Housed in a heritage building with nearly a century of history, Sofitel So Singapore boasts an iconic facade with symmetrical columns and expansive balconies overlooking Singapore’s Central Business District. The hotel’s 134 guestrooms, including nine luxurious suites, are spread across two wings – SO Hip and SO Heritage. The rooms blend old-world charm with cutting-edge technology, such as iPad Minis for controlling lighting and air conditioning, iPhones for guestroom calls, and Mac Minis to stream media to large-screen TVs.
Luxury Meets Technology
The hotel’s accommodations are designed to offer both comfort and grandeur. Rooms feature Sofitel’s signature MyBed, complemented by bespoke dome lightboxes inspired by European architecture. High ceilings of up to three meters add to the sense of spaciousness. The suites, with private balconies, offer an enhanced urban living experience, perfect for travelers who wish to enjoy a serene escape within the vibrant city.
For a truly indulgent experience, guests can unwind in oversized bathtubs, and the fully stocked ‘hidden’ bar, complete with wine glasses, espresso machines, and a selection of local snacks, adds to the sense of thoughtful luxury. The minibar concept has been reimagined, catering to those seeking both relaxation and convenience during their stay.
A Touch of Parisian Glamour
At the heart of Sofitel So Singapore is its vibrant lobby, featuring the Xperience Bar and Xperience Restaurant. The dining experience is as sophisticated as the hotel itself, with a focus on personalized service. The hotel’s La Bibliotek, a curated literary hideaway by Karl Lagerfeld, adds an artistic flair, paying homage to Singapore’s transformation into a modern metropolis, as symbolized by Lagerfeld’s Lion Seal Emblem.
Exclusive Amenities for Discerning Guests
Guests can also enjoy the private rooftop bar and gold-tiled swimming pool, offering stunning views of Singapore’s skyline. The hotel’s gym is equally impressive, featuring a rock-climbing wall, personal trainers, and the latest fitness equipment. With custom playlists on personal iPods, the gym experience is designed for both relaxation and high-energy workouts.
A Destination of Elegance and Comfort
Sofitel So Singapore embodies the ultimate fusion of Parisian luxury and local essence, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking an immersive, high-end experience in the heart of Singapore. The hotel is set to open its doors officially in August, and it promises to redefine the standard of luxury hospitality in the region.
Whether it’s the meticulously designed rooms, the carefully curated dining experiences, or the exceptional service, Sofitel So Singapore is poised to leave a lasting impression on all who visit.
