The Luxury Collection makes its debut in Singapore with The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort at Resorts World Sentosa (RWS). As the first property of its kind in the country, the resort invites guests on a journey of discovery rooted in heritage, tropical charm, colonial elegance, biodiversity, and culinary richness. The Laurus offers an exclusive sanctuary where refined comfort and cultural authenticity create a true home away from home for discerning travelers.
Hallmarks Etched in Heritage and Modernity
Designed by award-winning firm P49 Deesign and spanning over 7,650 square meters, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, is purposefully crafted to present guests with enriching moments of exploration, relaxation, and celebration. Drawing from colonial and tropical influences, the hotel embodies a sophisticated aesthetic that blends contemporary elegance with Singapore’s rich heritage. Open verandas and historically inspired details are incorporated to shape a distinctive environment that celebrates cultural authenticity with quiet elegance.
Orchids, Singapore’s national flower, grace the property in carefully curated arrangements, reinforcing the resort’s intimate connection to local culture and nature. The Buffy Fish Owl, native to Southeast Asia and once found across Singapore’s mangroves, is featured as a symbol of the resort’s identity. The owl appears as sculptures and a striking stained-glass installation, anchoring the guest experience in heritage and nature. This narrative is further deepened by art from the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings, adding layers of discovery to each guest’s journey.
Curators of Timeless Journeys that Awaken Wonder
A custom-made chandelier by Lasvit, forms the centerpiece of the lobby, inspired by laurel leaves and crafted with glass elements. It evokes grace and artistry, enhancing the space with a serene, airy ambiance that blends creativity with elegance.
At the lobby, guests can also enjoy a presentation of refined Asian-inspired delicacies, thoughtfully selected to reflect Singapore and the region’s rich culinary heritage. This elegant display features artisanal Nyonya kueh, handcrafted kaya and coconut cookies, mango-infused tarts, and a selection of premium regional dried fruits.
The Laurus features 183 suites, each designed with timeless sophistication and contemporary interiors. Luxurious bedding ensures restful sleep, while curated furnishings with sleek monochromatic accents enhance the atmosphere. Artisanal refreshments complete the experience, including ETTE Tea blends; a bespoke seaweed flavored Notter Nuts created exclusively for The Laurus and chocolates from Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie, crafted with sustainably sourced cacao from Asia.
Beyond the suites, the resort offers Laurus Table, a specialty restaurant, features a celebrity consultant chef and a refined menu of sustainable dishes inspired by the region. Guests also have access to a spa, a fully equipped fitness center, and a landscaped pool, creating a complete sanctuary for both rejuvenation and discovery.
Resorts World Sentosa’s Continuous Pursuit of Excellence in Sustainability
For more than 15 years, RWS has remained committed to advancing sustainable tourism by continuously pushing boundaries and adopting best-in-class practices. Today, this commitment is exemplified once again with The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, which sets a new benchmark in sustainable luxury.
Every suite is thoughtfully designed to elevate both comfort and sustainability, supported by a smart Guest Room Management System (GRMS) that balances guest comfort with energy efficiency. The hotel is on track to achieve the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Platinum certification, recognizing its excellence in sustainable building practices.
Beyond infrastructure, sustainable choices are seamlessly integrated into the guest experience, from refillable shower amenities to reusable bags that reduce single-use packaging. Filtered water faucets replace bottled water, and linen and towel reuse programs, ensuring guests enjoy conscious living without compromising indulgence.
The resort also embraces sustainability through craftsmanship. Trees felled during the expansion of RWS, have been repurposed by local craftsman Arthur Zaaro into cutting boards and serving trays. Uniforms and amenities are created by local brands, reinforcing the commitment to community and regional sourcing.
In addition, suites at The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, will feature handpicked artworks by two artists from ART:DIS, celebrating the talent of local artists with disabilities while creating vibrant and inspiring spaces. Black-and-white photography by Isabelle Lim (Issy), captures evocative scenes of Singapore, while paintings by Natalie Holstad bring expressive color and healing energy, with her largest work displayed in the Presidential Suite.
Guests can also unwind in the resort’s sensory garden, a sanctuary of native flora and rich avian diversity. Landscaped to encourage pollination and ecological harmony, the garden creates a living ecosystem while offering a tranquil retreat for visitors.
From its architecture and art to its cuisine and sustainability, The Laurus redefines luxury hospitality in Singapore. Every experience honors nature, uplifts communities, and reflects a philosophy of responsible indulgence. As the first Luxury Collection Resort in Singapore, The Laurus stands as a symbol of heritage, artistry, and sustainable excellence at Resorts World Sentosa.
