In September 2022, we saw the Grand Hyatt Singapore close, so that it could undergo a full renovation. This doesn’t just represent some minor cosmetic refresh, but rather a full reimagining of the property. In the summer of 2024, the hotel started a phased reopening, after being closed for nearly two years. There’s now an additional update, as roughly a year later, the project is now complete.
Basics of the renovated Grand Hyatt Singapore
The refreshed Grand Hyatt Singapore is now fully open, with all room inventory and facilities available to guests. The property initially opened nearly 55 years ago, in 1971, so it has quite the history. It’s located off Singapore’s Orchard Road, famous for shopping and dining.
The property has 699 keys, compared to 677 prior to the renovation. Basically everything about the property has been updated, from the guest rooms, to the public areas. Of course if you’re looking for a boutique property, this hotel isn’t for you. However, as far as mega Grand Hyatts go, this is generally considered to be one of the best.
Guest rooms at the hotel are located in two wings, with different designs:
- The Grand Wing has 407 rooms and suites, designed by Tokyo-based interior design firm Strickland, and it delivers “a refined city stay infused with Singaporean character”
- The Terrace Wing has 292 rooms and suites, designed in collaboration with UK-based Grand Associates, and it’s “immersed in tropical greenery, koi ponds, and cascading waterfalls that echo the Japanese concept of shinrin-yoku”
The room product looks great, with entry level rooms starting at 42 square meters (452 square feet). Meanwhile deluxe rooms start at 54 square meters (581 square feet), so are very generously sized.
The Grand Hyatt also boasts a massive wellness area, with a full service spa, 24/7 gym, outdoor pool, and wellness garden.
As you’d expect in a city like Singapore, the Grand Hyatt is a dining destination, with quite the array of food and beverage outlets, ranging from Le Pristine Singapore (from chef Sergio Herman), to Pete’s Place (an Italian restaurant), to StraitsKitchen (a Singaporean restaurant), to Martini Bar (a bar, as the name suggests), to BRIX (a subterranean nightspot — quite the scene, based on what I’ve heard).
The hotel also has a relocated Grand Club, on the mezzanine level, which World of Hyatt Globalist members get access to. Back in the day the lounge quality was excellent, so hopefully that’s still the case.
Grand Hyatt Singapore rates & points requirements
Now that the Grand Hyatt Singapore has fully reopened, what are cash rates and points requirements like?
For those redeeming points, this is a Category 6 World of Hyatt property, meaning a free night redemption in a standard room costs 21,000-29,000 points per night. Meanwhile a free night redemption in a standard suite costs 36,000-44,000 points per night.
As far as cash rates go, they currently start at around 360 SGD (~280 USD) per night.
Bottom line
The Grand Hyatt Singapore has now fully reopened, after undergoing an extensive renovation. While the hotel reopened in a phased manner last year, at this point all room inventory is available, and all restaurants and other amenities have reopened. Having stayed at the “old” Grand Hyatt, the renovated property looks like a huge improvement, and I look forward to checking this out.
