The space is further enhanced with lush and green vegetation and large orange trees while the backlit glass ceiling fills the space with warm light which creates an airy yet intimate mood, the whole lobby is further diffused with a sweet citrus scent that immediately transports you to the South of France.
The 188 room and suites property comprise of elegant rooms and suites in various layouts which is suited for either short or long-term stays. Each of the rooms features variation of three colour palettes, Blue which resembles Sky, relax and freedom, Green which resembles nature and relax and Yellow which resembles warmth and home.
We stayed in the Studio Residence, a 47sqm room with floor-to-ceiling windows offering a marvellous view of the Victoria Park and its surrounding neighbourhood. The room is further equipped with a mini kitchenette equipped with Microwave, toaster, kitchenware and more. We loved the patterns and textiles of the room including the marble-clad bathroom, Dyson hairdryer and Codage bathroom amenities from France and Ruark Audio speaker.
Salon Lanson, the property’s only dining destination located on the 2nd level (formerly the check-in level prior to renovation), takes pride in its spacious French inspired space, offering a relaxing, modern and timeless environment. Here, you get to enjoy a semi-buffet breakfast offering made to order shrimp wonton soup, crowaffles, your choice of eggs along with a buffet selection of dim sum, congee, pastries and cold pressed juices.
In the afternoon, enjoy all-day refreshments as well as evening cocktails and canapes with three signature tipples crafted by their bartenders with menu presented via postcards.
