The most striking thing about the new Pan Pacific Orchard (opening June 1) is its lushly tropical facade. Designed by WOHA Architects, the new luxury hotel is billed as an urban oasis right in the heart of Singapore's busiest shopping district. 347 rooms aside, the hotel has four open-air terraces that each offer a different experience to guests. Check-in at the verdant Forest Terrace, an open-air lobby space with a 120m-tall green column and cascading water features. The Beach Terrace on levels five to 10 offers a beach holiday experience right in the city, while the Garden Terrace further up is a beautifully manicured, tranquil escape. Finally, the Cloud Terrace is where many dreamy weddings are sure to take place – thanks to its 420-seat pillarless ballroom with a breezy vista of the city's landscape.
