Goodwood Park Hotel is Asia Pacific’s distinguished heritage hotel. A vestige of Singapore’s colonial past, the award-winning hotel has continually been enhanced and upgraded to keep it amongst the world’s best. Conveniently situated on the fringes of Singapore’s famed Orchard Road shopping district, the 5-star hotel is a grand dame featuring beautiful colonial architecture, and set on verdant grounds spanning six hectares.

Walk up the perfectly preserved driveway and admire the building built at the turn of the 20th century. Goodwood Park Hotel’s elitist beginnings as the Teutonia Club served as an enclave for the expatriate German community in 1900. Renamed Goodwood Hall, after the residence of the Duke of Richmond and Gordon in England, it was registered in 1922 as a restaurant-café-entertainment establishment. Finally becoming the Goodwood Park Hotel in 1929, it has hosted such luminaries as Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova and the Duke of Windsor. The hotel then made history in 1947 as the first hotel in Singapore to offer a swimming pool in its premises. On 1989, the signature tower of the hotel was gazetted a national monument by the Singapore Preservation of Monuments Board.

Travellers savour the special moments in life at Goodwood Park Hotel. Its 233 luxurious guest rooms and suites are housed in several wings – Lobby, Mayfair, Tower and Parklane – and you’re sure to find a room to suit your taste. The Deluxe Rooms in the Lobby and Mayfair wings reflect a quiet sophistication with contemporary furnishings, while the Deluxe Tower Rooms offer comfort in vintage elegance. The Poolside Suites which open out directly to either the Main Pool or the Balinese-inspired Mayfair Pool, are also a popular haven for guests. If you are feeling particularly regal, why not stay in the legendary Rose Marie Suite. Exuding the grandeur and charm of an aristocratic mansion, the Rose Marie Suite delivers the ultimate luxury in hotel accommodation. The sprawling 260 sq m suite comprises a spacious lounge, leather-panelled study, luxurious bedroom with a walk-in closet, bathroom with sauna, pantry and a grand dining room with its own rooftop garden, all serviced by a private lift.

Do not miss the opportunity to enjoy the hotel’s famed English Afternoon Tea at L’Espresso, out on the spacious and breezy terrace, or in air conditioned comfort. A cosy café by day and a chic lounge by night, it offers live entertainment in the afternoons and evenings.

After which, head to Gordon Grill for a gastronomic dining experience from Goodwood Park Hotel’s premier fine dining restaurant. Having built its reputation around serving some of the finest steaks and Continental cuisine in the country since 1963, discerning gourmets will be spoilt for choice with more than 50 items on its extensive menu. For a novel and memorable experience, the distinctive meat trolley is wheeled to each table and a piece of meat or beef is sliced, meticulously weighed and presented to diners before it is prepared and cooked to perfection.

If you favour Oriental flavours, the award-winning Min Jiang restaurant is renowned for serving some of the best Sichuan cuisine in Singapore. Diners can also enjoy a delectable dim sum selection every day, served on traditional trolleys and barbecued specialties from the outdoor grill kitchen in the evenings. If you prefer to dine outdoors, the alfresco dining terrace next to the hotel’s main pool would be the perfect place to enjoy your meal. Min Jiang also features six private dining rooms which are perfect for private business meals or social gatherings. Then to cap off the perfect day, adjourn to the Highland Bar for after-dinner drinks.

For a wonderfully unique ambience and beautiful memories, Goodwood Park Hotel has it all.
