Located on Orange Grove Road, The Standard, Singapore enjoys an enviable location near Singapore Botanic Gardens and the Orchard Road shopping district. The design and concept embody Singapore’s “City in a Garden” vision and blend East and West. The Standard’s in-house design team, led by Verena Heller, collaborated with design firm Ministry of Design on the hotel’s aesthetic.
