2,500 SQM, BUILT 2006
30 KEYS, MEMBER OF DESIGN HOTELS
MADE IN SINGAPORE_ Predating the advent of the boutique hotel movement in Singapore, MOD conceptualized the New Majestic experience to simultaneously draw from its locale and heritage whilst looking forward to create an experiential narrative which earned it membership in the internationally acclaimed “Design Hotels” group. At that point in time, it was the sole Singaporean hotel belonging to the group.
MOD designed the interior architecture for all the public spaces as well as for all 30 rooms in the New Majestic Hotel to satisfy the new global hotel consumer’s appetite for distinctive experiences, and introduced 5 new room typologies, which fundamentally redefine the hotel room experience architecturally
Situated in historic Chinatown, the 30 suites and rooms present a fresh take on the rituals of bathing, sleeping and living. Art, material and furniture transcend mere decorative value to create holistic environments that pamper, excite and soothe. Private gardens, a courtyard pool and attached balconies physically extend these experiences to the outdoors
Responding to the global appetite for unique hospitality experiences, the progressive Majestic Hotel boldly defies simplistic definitions of style. Rather, it is a collection of veritable encounters where design is given full license to surprise, thrill and even confound. Located on the ground floor, the lobby and restaurant form a milieu of rhythmic activity, enticing both guests and the public alike.
"Colin Seah and the Ministry of Design created the interiors for New Majestic Hotel - the place to be in Singapore. Guests just love the interaction between art, vintage styles, tradition and design - which MOD set in scene spectacularly in Singapore's hotspot!"
“We designed the New Majestic hotel to perform a duet, both with the memory of a bygone age as well as the very spirit of the present age - I feel this was on one of the reasons it was awarded "Design of the Year" at the inaugural President's Design Award.”
