The latest flagship property, Citadines Raffles Place Singapore, celebrates its opening in the storied heart of the financial district, within the biophilic CapitaSpring development which integrates live, work and play spaces in a vertically connected environment.
Taking its place as the fifth Citadines property in Singapore, with an additional property- Citadines Connect Rochester Singapore slated to open, The Ascott Limited (Ascott) will see an expanded portfolio of 19 properties with a total of 3,243 units in Singapore by the end of 2022, cementing its position as the largest lodging owner-operator locally.
More than just a serviced residence, Citadines Raffles Place Singapore will also be the first property in the country to enable guests to lead a well-balanced lifestyle through Citadines signature programmes - activ∞ (pronounced as ‘activate’) and For the Love of Coffee.
The refreshed Citadines brand is anchored upon the commitment to provide guests with the best of city living while inspiring them to live, work and play in infinite ways, through a series of signature programmes launched as part of the recent brand refresh.
activ∞ is a mixture of amenities and signature programmes for guests, enabling them to live, work and play seamlessly within the property and around the city. Guests can enjoy a partnership curated programme to jumpstart city living with key places to explore within the neighbourhood with the help of Citadines’ activ∞ digital toolkits or participate in residents’ programmes such as yoga or networking sessions.
For the Love of Coffee includes in-house programmes, workshops and collaborations with the local community to share Citadines’ love for coffee and deliver unique coffee-related experiences to guests. As the second most traded commodity and most popular beverage globally, coffee is the universal language that brings guests of Citadines together.
Guests at Citadines Raffles Place Singapore can develop or deepen their passion for coffee and enjoy fresh, consistent and balanced brews daily, be it grabbing a cup from the self-serve coffee kiosk in the lobby or exploring the city’s favourite coffee joints nearby with exclusive resident perks.
Located just a two-minute walk to Raffles Place MRT station, and a five-minute walk to the ever-vibrant Boat Quay, Citadines Raffles Place Singapore is the latest accommodation option in the business district that offers accessibility to the city and opportunities to enjoy the teeming culture and nightlife along the Singapore River nearby.
Comprising 299 units across eight floors, Citadines Raffles Place Singapore offers studio, one- and two-bedroom units as well as loft apartments, ideal for long-stay guests and business travellers. Thoughtfully designed and curated by renowned design firm, Takenouchi Webb, the apartments combine functionality and comfort, featuring contemporary designs with simple clean lines and geometric forms.
Versatile, modular furniture pieces seamlessly convert spaces from a work to rest setting, while specially commissioned art works by local artists introduce an element of the city in-apartment.
Embodying the live, work, play spirit in a vertically connected environment, Citadines Raffles Place Singapore offers a café check-in experience where guests are greeted by an integrated reception incorporating the relaxing vibes of a café as well as the ‘CapitaScape’ stainless steel artwork that features Singapore’s most historic buildings and landscapes by local artist and illustrator, Tan Zi Xi. At the shared workspace in the lobby, guests can also enjoy an award-winning ‘Clouds’ installation from Kvadrat, an interlocking fabric tile concept designed by internationally acclaimed French designer, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec.
Citadines Raffles Place Singapore also features convertible features that allow for the transformation of rooms and property spaces to suit the daily work and lifestyle needs of guests. A shared workspace at the lobby is fitted with varying seating arrangements including lounges, barstools at high tables and communal tables to suit different working styles.
Guests seeking to prepare their meals or host a private meeting in a social environment may take advantage of the residents’ kitchen, a private dining space which doubles up for both meetings and intimate dining events. Alternatively, guests can also host get-togethers with their loved ones at the outdoor barbecue garden. Fitness enthusiasts will find themselves at home at the outdoor fitness park on level 9 with a swimming pool, a 400-metre running track and an indoor gymnasium.
Nestled between CapitaSpring’s office floors and Citadines Raffles Place Singapore, at 100 metres above ground, is the Green Oasis.
