Architects 61
Fairmont Singapore (Chinese: 费尔蒙特酒店) is the sister hotel located within the Raffles City complex in Singapore. It has a total of 778 rooms and suites housed within two 26-storey towers.
History
The Westin Plaza opened in October 1986,[1] as part of the Raffles City complex, which also included a shopping mall, a convention center, an office tower and an adjoining sister hotel, The Westin Stamford. At the conclusion of Westin's 15-year management contract with Raffles Holdings,[2] the hotels were both renamed on 1 January 2002, with The Westin Plaza becoming Raffles The Plaza and The Westin Stamford becoming Swissôtel The Stamford.[3] Raffles The Plaza was renamed again on 12 December 2007, becoming the Fairmont Singapore.[4] In September 2019, Fairmont Singapore completed a renovation of the South Tower.[5]
Aquaponics Farm
Together with Swissotel The Stamford, Fairmont Singapore set up a 450 sq m rooftop aquaponics farm in 2019 where fish and plants are grown together in a closed system. The farm is expected to grow 30% of all vegetables required across the 2 hotels.[6]
