Grace International to open five-star Boutique Hotel in Singapore - The Scarlet

Grace International, a new hospitality management group, focusing on the acquisition, conceptualisation and development of unique boutique hotels, is to open its first independent 5-star property, The Scarlet in Singapore.

The Scarlet’s is situated in one of Singapore’s historic enclaves and within the Central Business District. Acquired and developed at an investment of US$35 million, The Scarlet makes a bold statement, by carefully preserving and combining the architectural styles of Singapore heritage buildings with a striking, audacious concept and design that provokes the senses and the imagination. This is for those bored with the predictable and the obvious in hotels. 

Targeted at the international set – trend conscious and adventurous professionals aged between 25 – 45 years, The Scarlet has been created as an oasis of carefully conceived interiors, based on a total design concept that promises to awaken a new sensory experience through its ambience, attire and cuisine.

Using the signature red that reflects The Scarlet’s name, and combining it with opulent gold and sophisticated black, the hotel’s décor is unlike anything experienced before. The shamelessly uninhibited style that dares to be different, is followed through in the 84 rooms including 5 individually-themed suites, each with a tantalising name – “Splendour”, ”Passion”, “Opulent”, “Lavish” and “Swank”!

The Scarlet boasts three restaurants and bars, whose names are as uninhibited as their surroundings and catering to different moods. Try “Desire”, a seductive enclave offering cuisine with a creative edge; or “Breeze”, an outdoor Mediterranean-style terrace bar and restaurant with a panoramic view from quaint terracotta rooftops to the pulsating city. And to relax and be seen, step into “Bold”, a bar with an attitude.

The Scarlet also offers the tried and tested for relaxation- an outdoor Jacuzzi – ”SODA” to bubble and fizz your cares away, and an exclusive gym – “FLAUNT” where you can work up a sweat and tone up.

Grace International specializes in boutique hotels, the Group is positioning itself as a leading industry player with the launch of its first independent boutique property, The Scarlet, in Singapore at the end of 2004.

Established in December 2003 with headquarters in Singapore where it has already acquired several properties, Grace International has embarked on an aggressive expansion policy in the region. Meanwhile, plans are underway to develop and re-brand the group’s existing properties, which are due to be marketed from 2005.
