The Standard Singapore
- Where:
- Why:A fabulous Visa run
- When:January 2026
- Who:Me and my inseparable sidekick
"A trendy color-soaked jungle escape with midcentury swagger"
In Singapore’s lush Orchard hills, The Standard Singapore is a color-soaked jungle escape with midcentury swagger and zero safe design choices. One minute you’re poolside beneath iconic balconies, the next you’re grazing Kaya’s clever breakfast or robe lounging in bold yellow tile. Steps from the Botanic Gardens and Orchard Road, it’s playful, well-priced, kid-friendly, and just the right amount of fabulous for a visa run.

Perfect for jumping tumbling wrestle time
How is it possible, we just walked through the door and his hands are already full of welcome cookies?
So grateful for welcome treats arriving from the airport with my toddler accomplice
The view really encapsulates “you have arrived” feeling
Our first stop was the pool. A perfect depth for all ages, surrounded by the iconic balconies of Shangri La property
The essentials
Landscaping on this property is a thing of dreams. What a way to transform a “skyscraper” into a jungle oasis
Cafe Standard is basically a Pinterest board of shades, textures and furniture
Little man ready for the outing of the trip, to the Singapore Zoo
I was flabbergasted by the quality of the zoo whilst Ziggy was flabbergasted at proximity to the elephants
How is this bathrobe! Designed by Thai brand Shone Puipia
Indulging in bathrobe time whilst appreciating the bold yellow tiles and funky mirror shelving situation
Importante attention has to be given to actually good shampoos and conditioner for your hair by Davines. Thank you!
Good night
Breakfast at Kaya is an unlimited menu kind of affair, but portioned very cleverly, more of a taster rather than a full adult serving
All bags packed, all buddies ready, a little sad to say goodbye. Especially to this reception island cabinet of curiosities!
I have outmost admiration for Singapore. What a flex it is to send you off with Jewel Rain Vortex installation at airport departures

Design is super fun and colorful, which was kind of revitalizing coming from everyone-does-same-thing Bali

Very nice service in the restaurant, people were so affectionate to my little son
-
Location is just marvelous, just by the Botanic Gardens, but the main shopping street is only 10min walk away
-
I’ve mentioned great service at the restaurant, but the check in and check out at front desk left me super flat. Just felt like I checked in to an airport hotel...
