CAPELLA SINGAPORE UNVEILS TRANSFORMED LOBBY, BAR, AND LIVING ROOM
Experience a delightful fusion of history and modern elegance, inviting you to savor curated cocktails and create cherished moments in a warm, inviting atmosphere
Capella Singapore proudly announces the opening of its latest bar concept, The Pineapple Room. Located above the hotel lobby, this bar is nestled in the heart of the iconic Tanah Merah building, which celebrates Singapore's rich heritage as a former pineapple plantation. The Pineapple Room seamlessly blends historical and contemporary elements, creating the ideal setting to relax while enjoying stunning architecture and a warm ambiance.
A Journey Through History
The experience begins in the newly renovated hotel lobby, featuring elegant and comfortable seating areas. The walls are adorned with warm-toned wallpaper showcasing floral and faunal motifs, alongside photographs of Singapore from the 1940s to the 1960s by renowned architectural photographer Marjorie Doggett. This inviting atmosphere welcomes guests as they ascend the staircase to The Living Room and The Pineapple Room.
By day, The Living Room serves as a cozy retreat where guests can enjoy light snacks and beverages. As dusk falls, this space transforms into The Pineapple Room, offering a refined bar experience designed to inspire authentic connections and meaningful conversations. The room pays tribute to its predecessor, which was once a gathering place for The Royal Artillery and their loved ones to enjoy tea parties and celebrations.
The Pineapple Room's interior is filled with rattan chairs and vintage lighting that evoke a soft, nostalgic ambiance. At its heart lies a stunning dark teak bar with a Carrara marble countertop, beautifully contrasting with the pristine white walls. The modern design thoughtfully integrates historical elements, including vintage maps celebrating Singapore’s history and botanical and pineapple paintings commissioned from local artists.
Creating Meaningful Connections
The Pineapple Room also features two outdoor terraces, providing a peaceful setting for relaxation. Guests can unwind in rattan chairs while enjoying a game of pool or foosball, surrounded by the soothing greenery that envelops Capella Singapore. This tranquil backdrop enhances the bar's inviting atmosphere.
An Enticing Cocktail Collection
The Pineapple Room offers a carefully curated cocktail collection that embodies Capella’s welcoming spirit and the vibrant energy of the Lion City. Each cocktail is inspired by Singapore's rich cultural tapestry, using ingredients that highlight the city’s delicate botanicals and local fruits.
The signature cocktail, Triple P, features tropical pineapple as its base, blended with reposado, agave nectar, lime, orange bitters, and a hint of chili salt. Refreshing on the palate, this cocktail pays tribute to Sentosa Island’s history as a thriving pineapple plantation in the 1840s. Another standout, Scarlet Rouge, offers a delightful twist on the iconic Mary Pickford cocktail, combining dark rum, cherry liqueur, pineapple, pomegranate, bitters, and edible gold.
Culinary highlights at The Pineapple Room include Singapore chilli crab pie tee, pan-seared Hokkaido scallops with ginger-pineapple sauce, sakura chicken satay, and crispy gruyère cheese straws, all perfect complements to your aperitif or nightcap.
A Space for Connection and Conversation
For centuries, the pineapple has symbolized hospitality and warmth, representing friendship, celebration, and shared joy. Inspired by this symbolism, The Pineapple Room was created as a welcoming space where genuine connections, meaningful conversations, and cherished memories can flourish. A bespoke card game, Room for Conversation, encourages guests to engage and learn about one another in enjoyable and meaningful ways.
With this transformation, Capella Singapore offers an unforgettable experience for every guest, blending comfort, beauty, and a sense of history into one enchanting space.
