New Lobby
The hotel welcomes its guests with open arms and the new experience starts upon arrival at the drop-off. Here guests are embraced by two 10-metre high walls covered in featured artwork designed in collaboration with KULT Singapore.
A shimmering metal sheer curtain screening the artwork guides guests through the signature ‘golden mirrored glass entrance box’. Guests transition through this feature entrance; leaving the mundane behind and entering The Cloud, the lobby of the Hotel. Emphasising the height and volume of the lobby space is the cumulous cluster of Molo Clouds. The soft white glowing shapes form a dreamlike reminder you have entered a new world; a place to experience new things and leave your daily cares behind. Guests find themselves at the centre of the Hotel’s new experience, anchored by four bronze clad columns identifying the four corners of the world. This places the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in the centre, like Singapore as the hub of Asia. The new lobby also has an open concept reception and a self-check-in booth.
The hotel’s lighting is designed by Light Cibles, specialising in unique lighting designs. The company has won numerous awards for unconventional lighting designs and excellence in environmentally-friendly practices.
