SINGAPORE – Hilton Singapore Orchard introduces the Smart Oasis, a unique meeting space located on Level 5 of the hotel that comprises seven function rooms and two breakout areas designed for inspiring events.

Perfectly timed to support the recovery of Singapore’s Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Events (MICE) industry, Hilton Singapore Orchard, the largest Hilton Hotel in Asia Pacific, is one of Asia’s best new destinations for MICE in the heart of Orchard Road.

Boasting 16 highly versatile event spaces spanning over 2,400 square metres, along with two pillarless ballrooms and 1,080 refurbished rooms and suites, Hilton Singapore Orchard is the newest of Singapore’s three largest hotel and MICE facilities in terms of keys and events capabilities. Its premier address, extensive room inventory, exceptional 790 square metre Executive Lounge and collection of world-class dining destinations make Hilton Singapore Orchard the ideal venue for business and social gatherings as the world rebalances post-Covid and the region reopens.

Cedric Nubul, general manager, Hilton Singapore Orchard, said, “Along with the new Smart Oasis, our state-of-the-art MICE facilities and talented team are innovating new ways for groups to connect, collaborate and celebrate. Deemed as one of the best new meeting venues in Asia, we aspire to set a new benchmark for delivering events experiences that are sustainable, low on waste and high on impact, value and creativity.”

New Levels of Connection

During the hotel’s extensive SG $150 million renovation, an entire level that was formerly a carpark was creatively converted into the hotel’s signature Smart Oasis, a unique meeting space that is perfectly designed for event goers to come together for collaboration and connection.

Developed by internationally acclaimed design firm Avalon Collective who is responsible for much of the hotel’s design, Smart Oasis is also inspired by the Orchard Trail Experience, incorporating cutting-edge technology and natural elements with modern design that pays homage to the precinct’s plantation history. The central space at its heart has been thoughtfully designed to bring nature inside with a dry garden and a Barrisol stretch ceiling to simulate the feeling of natural light.

Cedric Jaccard, creative director, Avalon Collective, said, “In designing the Smart Oasis experience, our team was keenly aware that there is more business done during the breakout session than in the meeting room. As such we designed a space focused on the time between meetings to create an oasis for guests to meet with purpose and connect with each other.”

Large with a residential feel, Smart Oasis is a flexible, porous space that allows customisable experiences for any number of events, including business meetings, exhibitions and product launches. The location is ideal for boardroom meetings or mid-scale business seminars for up to 185 guests with seven separate conference rooms and breakout spaces. Meeting rooms are named after different local tree species such as Tembusu, Ficus, Rhu and Mahogany, and are equipped with the latest technology including oversized LED screens for hybrid meetings and screenings. The majority of rooms offer two LED screens for additional content and flexibility, custom-built conference tables with built-in plugs and USB ports and ergonomic chairs.

Event and catering options are highly customisable. The hotel’s events team can work to create unique experiences such as art jamming, culinary demonstrations, yoga, and bespoke breakout corners to make guests feel at home, with exceptional food and drink to inspire connection.

From a power breakfast to “brain breaks” fuelled by energy-intensive superfoods, the hotel’s culinary team is able to customise menus based on dietary requirements and prioritises use of fresh, locally sourced produce. Reserved exclusively for the Smart Oasis is an always-on Butler’s Pantry, which is stocked with refreshing homemade beverages as well as healthy snacks that attendees can help themselves throughout the day. Thoughtful eco-friendly details abound, from glass water bottles courtesy of Hilton Singapore Orchard’s in-house Nordaq water filtration system, to eco-conscious stationery.

Meet with Purpose

Guided by Hilton’s global Meet with Purpose programme, MICE at Hilton Singapore Orchard helps clients create meaningful change in both the attendee experience and within the local community. Inspired by the connections made through global travel, Meet with Purpose allows clients to gather sustainably, mindfully nourish communities and create positive impact. From wellness and mindfulness themed events to catering that optimises nutrition, Hilton Singapore Orchard’s seasoned events team works collaboratively with clients to tailor truly unique event experiences that are also clean, flexible, safe, and socially responsible.

Hilton Singapore Orchard also promises to deliver a carbon neutral meeting experience in collaboration with South Pole, supporting Hilton’s Travel with Purpose 2030 Goals and paving toward a net-zero for the world.

Two State-of-the-Art Ballrooms

Hilton Singapore Orchard features two state-of-the art pillarless ballrooms to create a connected event within the hotel for larger-scale events and milestone celebrations. 

Ideal for traditional, large-scale events, the elegantly designed Grand Ballroom on Level 6 is the largest event space of the hotel capable of accommodating up to 900 guests. Adorned with sparkling crystal chandeliers, the ballroom boasts state-of-the-art LED walls that are movable and can be combined into a large 20.5 metres long screen with advanced lighting and sound technologies. The versatile ballroom can also be partitioned into three smaller rooms with collapsible partition walls. With stunning panoramic city views from the 35th floor, the multi-tiered Imperial Ballroom blends magnificent modernity for more intimate receptions of up to 250 guests.

Additional Spaces

The Level 8 meeting space is ideal for smaller meetings of up to 40 guests. A total of five meeting rooms named after local flowers offer state-of-the-art facilities for private seminars, breakout sessions, and conferences.

The MICE experience at Hilton Singapore Orchard is also supported by the hotel’s extensive inventory of 1,080 rooms and suites, expansive Executive Lounge and five unique culinary outlets that will help complement any meeting or event. Estate, the hotel’s 345-seater residential all-day dining restaurant, will treat event goers to a spectacular buffet display of Asian and international flavours, while the elegant Ginger.Lily lobby bar and lounge provides a nice respite to enjoy welcome cocktails or after-hour drinks. C-suite meals can also be arranged at Osteria Mozza by celebrated chef Nancy Silverton, which has a 10-seater private dining area, or two-Michelin starred Shisen Hanten by Chen Kentaro with four private dining areas.  

The hotel also boasts a dedicated group arrival lobby, which can be transformed to create bespoke arrival experiences for important delegates or larger-scale events.
