Singapore Marriott Hotel Invites Guests to Experience Newly Renovated Property

SINGAPORE--(Marketwire - Sep 5, 2012) -  According to an age-old adage, there is no better way to someone's heart, than through their stomach. For an ethereal combination of gourmet, luxury and romance, Singapore Marriott Hotel (NYSE: MAR) is offering an epicurean escape at their property located in the renowned foodie capital, Singapore.

To celebrate its relaunch following a recent refurbishment project, the Hotel is inviting guests to experience its newest room categories with two Staycation packages. The packages also showcase the 5 star Singapore hotel's full range of newly-added dining options to entice gourmands.

Located on Singapore's celebrated Orchard Road, the iconic property is offering two lavish room packages; Love is in the Air and A World of Two.

Ideal for a romantic getaway, Love is in the Air offers personalized romantic gestures, from a bottle of Champagne placed in the guestroom upon arrival, to a romantic four-course dinner with wine pairing at the Hotel's resort-style alfresco restaurant, Pool Grill. The package includes a one-night accommodation in a Premier Deluxe Room with breakfast for two at Marriott Cafe.

The Hotel exceeds all expectations with their A World of Two ultimate retreat package. You will be enamoured by the welcome bouquet of flowers, a dozen fresh oysters and a bottle of Rosé Champagne served in the guestroom. Romantic gestures continue apace with a butler-drawn scented bubble bath and a plate of chocolate-dipped strawberries to accompany. Complete the experience with an idyllic picnic at Sentosa Island's Tanjong Beach with a pre-packed basket of delicious treats and fine wine from Java+ along with two heart-shaped cookies. The Singapore hotel package includes luxurious overnight accommodation in the newly refurbished Junior Suite, or the unique Pool Terrace Room, with breakfast for two at Marriott Cafe. 

The revamped and prominent Marriott Cafe continues to offer a generous buffet fare but now highlights a new "Freshness Redefined" concept -- where 10 professional chefs take centre stage at one of Singapore's largest open kitchen blocks to serve up a highly curated menu of quality dishes from the East and West. This includes signature dishes such as Crispy Pork Saddle with Pancetta Prune and Mixed Herbs, live pulled noodles, an extensive grill menu, alongside renowned local dishes such as Chilli Crab, and a large selection of oysters, snow crabs, crayfish, and prawns at the Seafood Station. 

Java+, a new deli outlet, offers a selection of premium cured meats, cheeses, pickles and dips. It also includes delectable homemade cakes, freshly-baked breads, sandwiches, salads and quiches. With this remarkable array of options, Java+ is the answer to all foodies' dreams for high quality food on-the-go.

Guests may also opt to dine-in at Java+, an ideal spot to unwind in the evenings with its dramatic pendant lights and a bar counter offering views of the busy hotel lobby. Here guests can savour a glass of their favorite wine and enjoy authentic Spanish tapas.

With its resort-like setting adjacent to the Hotel's rooftop swimming pool, the award-winning Pool Grill offers the best of both worlds, paired with a tranquil setting against the urban landscape and skyline in the heart of the city. The Singapore restaurant's contemporary dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients, to serve up classics such as its Caesar Salad, theatrically prepared tableside.

Singapore Marriott Hotel's SGD 35-million dollar renovation, fully funded by Tang Holdings was overseen by the world renowned design team, Hirsch Bedner Associates (HBA), giving the Hotel a new lease of life. The guest rooms are designed in a classic yet contemporary style, using neutral colors and bold accent fabrics. They have also been decorated with state-of-the-art furniture including two signature 1956 leather Eames Desk Chairs. To complete the luxurious rooms, the bathrooms now come with large walk-in rain showers, as well as extended vanity areas.

Love is in the Air is priced at SGD 795++ per night for two while A World of Two is priced at SGD 988++ with accommodation in a Junior Suite, and SGD 888++ for accommodation in a Pool Terrace Room. Both Staycation packages are available until December 30, 2012 (blackout period: September 20-23, 2012).
