It’s one thing to experience art within the confines of museum chambers, and quite another to see them applied to a real-life landscape, publicly available for all to view. At Rendezvous Hotel, guests who come to stay enjoy the benefit of a multi-sensory art experience throughout the premises — from the check-in desk to common spaces, along the hallways and even on the hotel’s exterior facade, which can morph into interactive art for the enjoyment of pedestrians across the street.

Mirror mosaic mannequins, also dressed in cheongsams made from blue and white ceramic mosaic chips, greet people checking in at the front desk, whilst Charlie Chaplin waits with you on the ground floor, for the lift to arrive. At least, his Warhol-inspired portrait does. Eclectic would be the right word to describe the art one sees inside the premises of Rendezvous Hotel, and we wouldn’t want it any other way. The quirkiness of the pieces provide a mental relief from daily stoicism, while setting expectations of a stress-free stay. That artsy energy follows guests into their rooms, with each room featuring a background light hue that matches a cushy, custom-made armchair positioned beside the window.

Rendezvous Hotel’s location in the middle of the city’s arts and cultural precinct provided the foundation of the property’s art themed relaunch in 2014, bridging the gap for travellers interested in an immersive experience of art by Singaporean artists and beyond. In showing its support for the local arts scene, Rendezvous Hotel Singapore collaborates with local art galleries, lending its space for special exhibitions and installations, mainly in the hotel lobby and level two gallery spaces. Works on display are available for guests to view and purchase.

Despite the vibrant artistic stimuli around, there are plenty of respite options. Enjoy a swim in the Balinese pool and jacuzzi deck, or join other guests for movie night, over a few drinks at the Library Bar. Opting for club benefits allows you access to Club Rendezvous on the 11th floor, where all-day access to a private lounge overlooking the city, and complimentary refreshments, are available. And if you’re looking to make your staycation, honeymoon or anniversary getaway that much more enticing, ask for Room 1111, a suite with a picture perfect view of Singapore’s iconic old landmarks like the National Museum and Fort Canning Park — that can be seen from the bathtub room.

The 298-room Rendezvous Hotel Singapore offers guests easy access to various local attractions, especially the history and art museums at the hotel’s doorstep. Rendezvous Hotel Singapore is located within the vicinity of Singapore’s famous Orchard Road shopping belt and other top attractions like Chinatown, Little India, Suntec City, Esplanade, and Fort Canning.
