Previously the Marina Mandarin Singapore, the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay which was rebranded back in January 2020 will unveil a nature-inspired look in Q4 2020. After undergoing SGD 45 million worth of renovation works, the hotel will showcase a complete transformation that will remake it into a 'garden-in-a-hotel'.

The 575-room PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay will retain its iconic John Portman-designed atrium which is one of the largest in Southeast Asia. In addition to the 13-metre high green landscaped wall, the property will also showcase sculptural pavilions shaped like birdcages nestled within lush, meticulously curated greenery throughout the hotel. Illuminated by thoughtful lighting touches, these exude a magical rainforest ambiance at night.

Not to be confused with the PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering which features a 'hotel-in-a-garden' concept, the renovated PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay will feature strong lifestyle and wellness elements that hotel guests can enjoy throughout the hotel.

How To Choose the Perfect Bar by the Beach Experience
