Description
Situated within Amara Singapore, the Lobby Bar is set to be an entirely different experience for guests. The dynamic space evolves with the rhythm of the day. Bathed in soft natural light during the day, the Lobby exudes vibrant energy, offering a relaxed grab-and-go concept. As night falls, the amber glow of the Bar, complemented by a curated wine collection, transforms the space into a lively setting for the second act.
Boasting a minimalist design aesthetic, the space exudes a contemporary, considered, and elegant ambience, taking the experience to a new level. The Lobby Bar design pays homage to the heritage of its surrounding neighbourhood, incorporating the essence of the architectural and cultural nuances of Tanjong Pagar, where the hotel first opened in 1986. The characteristic solid granite steps leading to the bar are reminiscent of the covered walkways found throughout the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, terracotta elements in the bar’s backdrop reference the roofs of the area’s historic shophouses.
Leather, marble, and wood accents seamlessly come together to create a sense of timeless design, inviting our guests into a space tailored for refined relaxation. Further lending gravitas to the Lobby Bar is champagne-tinted steel panelling inspired by the corrugated steel panels that line the alleyways behind shophouses. The perforations along these panels mimic the pleats and folds of a curtain, creating a theatrical backdrop for the space. Coupled with a timber ceiling that draws inspiration from the rafters and beams used in the construction of shophouses, the Lobby Bar’s lofted space feels simultaneously intimate.
The careful selection of materials and attention to detail by Studio HBA contribute to an environment that is not only visually stunning but also functionally versatile. The deliberate combination of elements creates a space that caters to a variety of experiences, making it the perfect backdrop for both serendipitous moments and special occasions.
Collaborating with Grand Vin, Lobby Bar is poised to build a strong community of oenophiles, with a discerning variety of renowned wines. Top curations from renowned winemakers include Champagne Louis Roederer, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Domaine Faiveley. Additionally, Lobby Bar will also have the privilege of housing Singapore’s most extensive collection of Champagne Louis Roederer. Founded in 1776, the Louis Roederer House is one of the last great Champagne houses to have remained family-run and independent in the region. A space to foster connection and exploration, Lobby Bar and Grand Vin will also host engaging wine-tasting masterclasses to further cultivate knowledge and passion amongst wine lovers, both new and seasoned. Guests will also have the rare opportunity to connect with visiting winemakers from around the world as well
Mr Chua Pin, Managing Director of Grand Vin, shared his excitement about the recently forged partnership with Amara Singapore, “This collaboration marks a significant milestone for both businesses, promising an exceptional fusion of top-tier wines at the newly renovated lobby of Amara Singapore. Grand Vin remains committed to delivering an unparalleled experience to wine enthusiasts and patrons alike. We hope this will be the go-to destination for all wine lovers.”
“We are thrilled to partner Grand Vin, as part of our vision to continually evolve and offer the modern traveller an unforgettable stay experience at Amara Singapore,” said Richard Chan, General Manager of Amara Singapore. “We believe in sharing with our guests only the best product offerings, paired with bespoke experiences that will make their time with Amara Singapore a memorable one for all guests, including business travellers and residents of the surrounding community alike.”
