The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott International’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary brands, has officially debuted in Singapore with the unveiling of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort. Located within Resorts World Sentosa, this all-suite property introduces a new era of sophisticated, destination-led hospitality that artfully blends heritage, nature, and modern elegance.
As the first Luxury Collection property in Singapore, The Laurus embodies the brand’s ethos of offering immersive, place-rooted experiences. Designed as a “home away from home” for the discerning traveler, the resort pairs timeless design with local cultural resonance, celebrating Singapore’s tropical beauty, rich biodiversity, and storied colonial charm.
“The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, marks a defining chapter in our brand’s journey, introducing an extraordinary new destination where heritage, nature, and luxury converge,” said Bruce Rohr, Vice President and Global Brand Leader, The Luxury Collection. “Marking The Luxury Collection’s first property in Singapore, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, offers travelers an opportunity to experience the city through a unique lens – one that honors the island’s storied past, celebrates its vibrant landscape, and invites guests into a refined sanctuary that feels deeply personal.”
Inspired Design and Local Heritage
Designed by award-winning firm P49 Deesign, The Laurus spans more than 7,600 square meters and reflects both colonial and tropical influences. Open verandas, curated art, and soft neutral tones blend contemporary luxury with Singapore’s heritage.
Throughout the resort, orchids—Singapore’s national flower—add beauty and symbolism, while design elements such as wooden screens and natural textures create an atmosphere of understated elegance. The resort’s signature motif, the Buffy Fish Owl, appears in sculptural art and stained glass, symbolizing wisdom and guardianship inspired by the island’s biodiversity.
The hotel also displays artwork from the William Farquhar Collection of Natural History Drawings, weaving elements of local culture, history, and artistry into every corner.
Suites Designed for Comfort and Style
The Laurus features 183 all-suite accommodations, each designed for comfort and calm. Interiors combine contemporary furnishings with natural materials, creating a relaxing, residential feel. Suites include locally inspired touches such as ETTE Tea blends, Notter Nuts’ bespoke flavors, and handcrafted chocolates from Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie, offering a taste of Singapore’s artisanal craftsmanship.
Guests can also enjoy thoughtful amenities, including premium bedding, spacious bathrooms, and a curated minibar that highlights regional products. These small details make each stay feel uniquely connected to the destination.
Dining and Guest Experiences
At Laurus Table, the hotel’s signature restaurant, a celebrity consultant chef leads a menu centered on regional flavors and sustainably sourced ingredients. Guests can enjoy refined dishes inspired by Asia’s diverse culinary traditions in a sophisticated yet welcoming setting.
Upon arrival, visitors are greeted with Voyage Céleste, the resort’s signature scent created by Maison21G. The fragrance captures Sentosa’s coastal freshness and tropical charm, setting the tone for a stay filled with sensory details. A welcome drink and a display of Asian-inspired delicacies, including Nyonya kueh and artisanal cookies, further enhance the arrival experience.
Beyond dining, the resort features a spa, fitness center, and a landscaped pool surrounded by lush greenery, offering spaces for both rejuvenation and relaxation.
Commitment to Sustainability
The Laurus reflects Resorts World Sentosa’s ongoing sustainability initiatives, incorporating eco-friendly design and energy-efficient technology. The property is pursuing Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Platinum certification, recognizing excellence in sustainable building practices.
Guest rooms are equipped with smart management systems that balance comfort with energy conservation. Refillable bath amenities, reusable bags, and filtered water taps replace single-use plastics, allowing guests to enjoy luxury responsibly.
The resort also partners with local craftspeople and artists to minimize environmental impact and celebrate community talent. Timber from trees cleared during RWS’s expansion has been repurposed into custom boards and trays by artisan Arthur Zaaro, while uniforms and amenities are sourced from local designers.
Showcasing Local Artists
Art is a key part of The Laurus experience. The property features works by artists from ART:DIS, an organization supporting artists with disabilities. Photographer Isabelle Lim, who is hearing impaired, contributes evocative images of Singapore life, while Norwegian-Singaporean painter Natalie Holstad offers expressive works that reflect healing and emotion. Her largest piece is showcased in the Presidential Suite.
These collaborations reflect The Laurus’ dedication to supporting inclusivity and creativity within the local community, while also enriching the guest experience with authentic artistry.
A Garden Inspired by Nature
The resort’s sensory garden offers a peaceful escape surrounded by native flora and birdlife. Designed to promote ecological balance, the garden encourages pollination and biodiversity through natural landscaping and nesting structures.
This tranquil green space connects guests to Sentosa’s lush tropical environment, reinforcing the resort’s philosophy of luxury that respects and restores nature.
A New Chapter for Luxury Travel in Singapore
With its thoughtful design, local inspiration, and strong sustainability vision, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, sets a new benchmark for hospitality in Singapore. Every element, from the Lasvit chandelier in the lobby to the scent of tropical air, reflects an attention to detail that defines The Luxury Collection experience.
“The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, Singapore’s first The Luxury Collection-branded all-suite hotel, reflects RWS’s ambition to set new benchmarks in luxury hospitality while offering travelers a sanctuary that feels like home,” said Ms. Lee Shi Ruh, Chief Executive Officer, RWS.
By combining artistry, heritage, and innovation, The Laurus offers guests an authentic and elevated introduction to Singapore’s world-class luxury scene.
