The St. Regis Singapore has unveiled the newly-redesigned John Jacob Ballroom, a key milestone in the hotel’s ongoing transformation.
Honouring the House of Astor’s legacy as the House of Celebrations, the refreshed space blends classic grandeur with the refined charm of a 19th-century Orangerie.
At the helm of the ballroom’s redesign is studio FBEYE International, whose vision draws inspiration from the nearby Singapore Botanic Gardens. Two skylights crown the John Jacob Ballroom, transforming the venue into a light-filled grand garden pavilion. Climbing vine motifs and a custom-designed carpet – its palette inspired by citrus leaves and sculpted topiary in tones of aged stone, tangerine, sage, and olive – evoke a secret garden. Crystal chandeliers capture the shifting daylight, while floral-inspired light fixtures lend a sculptural softness to the space.
Spanning slightly over 700m2, the pillarless space can host 400 guests for a formal dinner or 500 in a theatre-style arrangement. For smaller events, the ballroom can be divided into two self-contained venues with a soundproof air wall.
Additionally, the ballroom is newly outfitted with two high-resolution LED walls measuring 9.6m by 5.3m, promising captivating visual displays. Ten intelligent lighting systems allow for seamless mood curation, while a state-of-the-art sound system ensures absolute clarity, supporting events of professional calibre.
Adding a sense of theatre to the foyer is a new built-in bar, inviting guests to enjoy pre-function live cocktail showmanship. For guests of honour, a new VIP Room – complete with plush sofas, ambient lighting and refined botanical accents – located next to the ballroom offers a private sanctuary.
The St. Regis Singapore’s Meetings Reimagined MICE offer allows meeting planners to select from a list of exclusive privileges depending on the minimum contracted spend. These benefits include suite upgrades, a private Bloody Mary cocktail experience for up to 30 guests, and a one-hour cocktail reception featuring the chef’s selection of three canapés with free-flowing soft drinks, beer and house-pour spirits.
