Hotel in Singapore.
Featured in I. M. Pei's definitive monograph, I.M. Pei: Complete Works.
Visitor Guide
If you’re not staying, use a lobby bar/restaurant visit to get inside without pretending; dress lightly but smart—Singapore indoor AC is aggressive.
From Marina Bay waterfront at blue hour, framing the tower with city reflections; alternate: from Esplanade area at sunset.
Hotel—public access to lobby and some venues; guest-only areas restricted. No general architecture ticketing.
Hotel towers are performance machines: vertical circulation, back-of-house logistics, and façade maintenance strategy are as important as the skyline silhouette.
30–60 minutes
Design & Structure
High-rise design coordinated through BIM/3D CAD; façade and MEP systems optimized for tropical solar load and humidity control.
Glass and aluminum curtain wall over a concrete/steel frame—chosen for speed, precision, and climate performance.
Lateral stability (wind) and service integration dominate: cores, outriggers, and mechanical floors shape the building’s real geometry.
