The Laurus has joined The Luxury Collection brand as the first property in Singapore.
Situated in Singapore’s first integrated resort, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort is designed by P49 Deesign and spans over 7,650m2. Drawing from colonial and tropical influences, the hotel embodies a sophisticated aesthetic that blends contemporary elegance with Singapore’s rich heritage.
Open verandas and historically inspired details are incorporated to shape a distinctive environment that celebrates cultural authenticity with quiet elegance. The presence of orchids, Singapore’s national flower, reinforces the hotel’s intimate connection to local culture and nature while adding beauty to every space.
Throughout the property, art and design elements reflect the discerning taste of a cosmopolitan collector. The buffy fish owl, native to Southeast Asia and once found across Singapore’s mangroves, is featured prominently in the form of sculptures and a stained-glass installation, serving as a symbol of the hotel’s identity.
In the lobby of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, a custom chandelier has been crafted by Lasvit, drawing inspiration from laurel leaves and showcasing handcrafted glass leaves illuminated from within and delicate branches crafted from minimalist metal tubes.
Here, guests are greeted by the hotel’s exclusive signature scent, Voyage Céleste, specially created by Maison21G to carry a coastal freshness inspired by Sentosa’s tropical environment.
In the property’s 183 suites, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort blends timeless sophistication with a deep sense of place. Each suite embodies refined contemporary interiors, from luxurious bedding to curated furnishings with sleek monochromatic accents.
The hotel also features Laurus Table, the hotel’s specialty restaurant, as well as a spa, a fully equipped fitness centre and a landscaped pool.
Sustainability is a key focus of the resort, with RWS having been committed to advancing sustainable tourism since its inception over 15 years ago. Every suite is supported by a smart Guest Room Management System (GRMS) that balances guest comfort with energy efficiency. The hotel is also on track to achieve the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Platinum certification, recognising its excellence in sustainable building practices.
Moreover, trees felled for the expansion of RWS – including African Mahogany (Khaya senegalensis), Chengal Pasir (Hopea odorata) and Tropical Almond (Terminalia catappa) – have been artfully repurposed by Arthur Zaaro into bespoke cutting boards, bowls and serving trays.
Complementing this touch of craftsmanship, uniforms and amenities are designed by local brands and creative talents as part of RWS’s ongoing resolve to supporting local vendors and reducing environmental impact through regional sourcing.
Outside, the hotel’s sensory garden, featuring native flora and rich avian diversity, is landscaped to promote ecological harmony, encouraging pollination through strategically placed habitat niches and nesting structures. The result is a vibrant ecosystem that supports local biodiversity.
“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,” says 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 travellers an opportunity to experience the city through a unique lens – one that honours the island’s storied past, celebrates its vibrant landscape and invites guests into a refined sanctuary that feels deeply personal.
“The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort exemplifies our commitment to distinctive, destination-led hospitality, where each stay becomes a timeless story in the traveller’s collection.”
Ms. Lee Shi Ruh, Chief Executive Officer, RWS, adds: “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 travellers a sanctuary that feels like home.
“More than a hotel, it is a destination where culture and contemporary elegance come together, inviting guests to recharge, reconnect and create lasting memories. At the same time, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, embodies our belief that true luxury must also be responsible – thoughtfully designed to delight discerning travellers while honouring our community, culture and environment.”
