Located along Orange Grove Road, it will be across from Shangri-La Singapore.
While development is still underway, architectural and interior design firm Ministry of Design stated that the rooms would come with full-height glass facade walls offering a captivating look into the city beyond.

The more luxurious suite rooms will additionally have corner glass and double-height living room areas.
With a “local twist”, Singaporeans can expect the hotel to reflect our country’s nature as a ‘Garden City’.
That’s not all — patrons can also take a dip in the hotel’s infinity pool and enjoy an eyewatering selection of choices from their pool bar.

At the time of writing, The Standard has not yet released its opening date or a price listing for their rooms in Singapore.
The opening will be part of the brand’s efforts at expansion into Asian markets. In 2021, the chain set up a new property in Thailand and another in Bangkok the year after.
Invictus Developments will be handling the development of the property in Singapore.
It is a boutique real estate investment company under the family of Indonesian businessman Bachtiar Karim.
The advantageous location of The Standard is bound to make it a favourite among tourists and locals alike.
Judging by what we’ve seen in their Bangkok, Maldives and London branches, we dare say it could be a staycation sanctuary that sets the standard for escapades within our Garden City.
