CONTENT: Kevin Yiew
Nestled in the heart of Singapore Science Park, Citadines Science Park Singapore is the 8th and newest addition to the Citadines family, offering guests an idyllic green sanctuary amidst the bustling urban landscape. Serving as a gateway to the lush greenery escapes of Western Singapore, this strategically located property provides a perfect blend of convenience and tranquility for those seeking a comfortable, productive and leisurely stay.
Featuring 250 meticulously designed rooms spread across five different levels, Citadines Science Park Singapore is surrounded by five cutting-edge sustainable buildings housing knowledge-based industries. In addition, the property boasts 3,600 square meters of retail space and enticing food and beverage outlets, set to officially open in Q4 2024.
Designed by Serie + Multiply Architects and Ascott’s in-house Interior Design team, notable features of the property include a mosaic of Singapore’s skyline at the check-in counter and a cloud mosaic tiled infinity pool, adding to the nature-inspired ambiance. Subtle accents like terracotta and brass, along with vibrant upholstery fabric patterns, further enhance the greenhouse concept. Additionally, unique elements such as an engraved brass inlay artwork of Singapore’s skyline and a carpet pom artwork of the Science Park map at the Transfer Lift Lobby add to the property’s charm.
Guests can enjoy the convenience of self-check-in kiosks and a café at the ground lobby, scheduled to be fully furnished in Q3 2024.
Staying true to their commitment to provide guests with the epitome of urban living, the Citadines team has come up with a plethora of programs and activities to encourage guests to strike a harmonious balance between work and play facilitated by Citadines’ signature offerings: activ∞ (pronounced as ‘activate’) and For the Love of Coffee.
activ∞ encompasses a diverse range of amenities and signature programs designed to enhance the city living experience. From rotational programs that acquaint guests with key neighborhood attractions via Citadines Science Park Singapore’s activ∞ digital toolkits to resident-focused initiatives such as fitness and networking sessions, there’s something for everyone. Until August, guests can embark on a captivating mystery trail, uncovering the hidden gems of the area and standing a chance to win prestigious prizes, including 200,000 Ascott Star Rewards (ASR) points and a luxurious BEAUBIT Beauty Kit featuring Blunies Deodorant, Saltrain Toothbrushes, and Troiareuke products (while stocks last).
Committed to the well-being of its guests, Citadines offers a curated selection of wellness and mindfulness activities designed to rejuvenate the mind, body, and soul. Delve into the secrets of Face Yoga, a powerful practice renowned for its ability to release tension and stress, leaving you with a radiant and youthful glow. Alternatively, bask in the soothing ambiance by the pool and indulge in our specially crafted “Reset” menu, transporting you to a state of pure serenity where relaxation becomes an art form.
For the Love of Coffee celebrates the universal language of coffee, bringing guests together through in-house programs, workshops, and collaborations with the local community. As the world’s second most traded commodity and most beloved beverage, coffee serves as a unifying force at Citadines Science Park Singapore. While we had the opportunity to partake in a Coffee Omakase session with local coffee artisan Pyroast, the property is still in talks in making this unique omakase a regular option to be made available to guests to journey through the rich and diverse world of coffee, so stay tuned to their website and social media sites for more information!
For those seeking a brief respite from the city life, opt for the Studio Executive Room that offers all the essential amenities for a comfortable stay. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide guests with sweeping views of the highway and the serene CBD skyline, lending a sense of tranquility to their experience.
For longer stays, the One-Bedroom Premier Room presents a spacious retreat complete with a fully furnished kitchen for preparing meals, a separate working area ideal for hosting guests or conducting business, and the option of an additional sofa bed for added convenience.
For the ultimate indulgence, the One-Bedroom Executive Loft promises an unparalleled experience. Spanning two storeys, this expansive room boasts luxurious Bacha Coffee amenities and overlooks the infinity pool below, offering guests a truly memorable stay.
Guests will appreciate the versatility of a movable circular table with castors, allowing for various uses within their rooms. Inspired by Citadines’ commitment to urban living and the greenhouse concept, the artwork adorning the walls depicts “City in the Garden” by local artist Kenneth Koh Qibao. This captivating piece reflects the lush environment of Citadines Science Park Singapore, featuring gilded greenhouses that mirror the architectural design of the Science Park buildings.
In the event that the nearby restaurants or bars are closed, Kent Ridge MRT station is a mere 5-minute walk away, with The Star Vista mall and Holland Village a few stops away in case guests get hungry or find the need to restock their rooms with snacks for the night. The property is also perfectly situated for both convenience and picturesque nature walks, including the Rail Corridor, Kent Ridge, and West Coast Park.
