New, or as good as new
A look at how the luxury hotel industry
in Singapore is busy reinventing itself
One Farrer Hotel & Spa
One Farrer Hotel & Spa brings the fine
experience to the ethnic enclave of Farrer
Park on the fringes of Little India close
to the city centre. It is part of The Farrer
Park Company’s integrated lifestyle
development offering the highest quality
of hospitality, healthcare, wellness and
conference facilities.
Perfect for today’s luxury travellers
who are curious about raw and authentic
heartlands, guests can join a tour to a
much-loved local market, or explore
Little India, while the hotel itself
brims with bright ideas to keep them
entertained in-house. This includes a
tour of The Farrer Park Art Collection,
Singapore’s largest single curated
art collection of its kind consisting of
more than 700 original artworks, or
a tour of The Farm at One Farrer, a
fully operational agricultural facility
created for the incubation and growing
of vegetables, herbs, fruits and other
plants, which is an important link to the
hotel’s Farm to Table and Market to Table
concepts.
In addition, the hotel boasts 14
gardens over 20 levels, offering lush
greenery and flowing waters, and
reflective spaces to nourish the body and
soul.
Guided tours for both Art and Farm
can be pre-arranged for a minimum of
six people and the hotel invites ILTM
Asia-Pacific buyers who are interested.
