Originally conceived as the Pavilion InterContinental when it opened in 1982, this property was John Portman's first atrium hotel in Asia, a 12-storey skylit void that cascades through the building's core. Now operating as Conrad Singapore Orchard after a 2023 refurbishment, it retains the Michelin-starred Cantonese restaurant Summer Palace, which has held its star continuously since 2017.

About Conrad Singapore Orchard
- When the building opened in 1982, it was John Portman's first atrium hotel in Asia; Singapore would eventually host four Portman atrium hotels, the densest concentration of his work outside the United States.
- Summer Palace has held one Michelin star without interruption since it first appeared in the Singapore Michelin Guide in 2017, surviving the property's transition from Regent to Conrad branding.
- The 2023 refurbishment deliberately preserved the Portman atrium structure, with interior designer Matthew Shang of MSDO describing the approach as 'revealing more of the original Portman bones.'
History
Conrad Singapore Orchard opened in 2023 as Hilton’s Conrad-branded luxury hotel on Orchard Road, and the property page describes it as an urban oasis with a soaring atrium and a bold architectural legacy by John Portman. Hilton’s official site positions the hotel around local living and tasteful discoveries, with refined guestrooms and suites, many with private balconies. The hotel is notable for its unusually large food-and-beverage footprint, with 10 distinct restaurants and bars under one roof. It also emphasizes wellness touches such as sleep tea, sound-bath content, outdoor pool access, and complimentary poolside classes.

The setting
Conrad Singapore Orchard sits at 1 Cuscaden Road, where a quiet residential street meets Singapore's legendary luxury corridor — Orchard Road, which evolved from 19th-century nutmeg and fruit plantations into a 2.5-kilometre axis of flagship boutiques and five-star hotels. The Cuscaden address offers a sheltered vantage: steps from Orchard and Scotts Road retail, the UNESCO-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens an 18-minute walk, and a cluster of landmark properties within walking distance. Orchard MRT provides seamless connections citywide.
