Tell us about some of your favourite experiences and tours in Singapore.

One of our top recommendations is the Singapore River Cruise, a serene and picturesque way to discover the Singapore’s heritage from a different perspective.

As the boat glides along the Singapore river, guests can admire beautifully restored shophouses, historic bridges, and iconic landmarks that tell the story of Singapore’s early trading days.

The route also offers a contrast between these charming reminders of the past and the striking and iconic skyline that now surrounds them.

We also encourage guests to explore our vibrant cultural districts, each offering a glimpse into Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage.

From the colourful streets of Little India and the bustling lanes of Chinatown to the charm of Kampong Glam and Arab Street, these neighbourhoods are filled with local flavours, traditional crafts, and impressive religious landmarks.

What are some of the unique cultural experiences the team can organise in the local area?

Singapore is world-renowned for its vibrant food culture, and a culinary tour is one of the most authentic ways to experience local life.

We often recommend visits to our famous hawker centres and popular local restaurants. Our Concierge team can arrange self-guided tours to the best spots for local cuisine, or curate private tours with licensed guides who take the time to understand each guest’s preferences for a truly personalised experience.

We also assist with organising bespoke experiences, such as sightseeing and heritage trails. Our aim is always to create meaningful and memorable encounters for our guests with Singapore’s rich culture.

Singapore is well known for its culinary scene… do you have any favourite cafes, restaurants or bars in the local area that are a must-do?

Within Pan Pacific Singapore, PLUME is a destination cocktail bar that we always recommend.

Inspired by Singapore’s colourful birds, the bar offers a flock of meticulously crafted cocktails, using ingredients and techniques that are exotic and occasionally familiar. Each creation reflects the details of these feathered friends, from the tones of their plumage to their habitats and the seeds and fruits that nourish them.

For guests looking to explore local dining beyond the hotel, we often suggest iconic hawker experiences such as Satay by the Bay and Lau Pa Sat.

Satay by the Bay offers a charming waterfront setting where guests can enjoy freshly grilled satay and other local delights, while Lau Pa Sat, situated in the heart of the city, is famous for its historic architecture and bustling satay street in the evenings.
