Part hotel, part JUNGLE: The interior of this stunning property in Singapore resembles a giant Jenga game covered in foliage, which guests can admire from a swim-up bar.
Jo Kessel films her stay at the new 347-room Pan Pacific Orchard Hotel - which stands 23 stories high. The hotel has four landscaped open-air terraces with almost 100 species of plants growing on giant columns READ MORE: Cunard's latest £500m Queen Anne liner arrives in Southampton
AdvertisementJo Kessel checks into the new 347-room Pan Pacific Orchard hotel in Singapore to film a structure that resembles a giant game of Jenga. This unique 23-story hotel features four stacked open-air terraces, each designed to integrate with nature. One houses a forest, another a beach, the third a garden and the fourth (and highest) is entirely devoted to clouds. Jo has the inside scoop on them all.
Award-winning architectural firm WOHA has a reputation for incorporating the environment into its designs. And when he set out to build the new Pan Pacific Hotel in Singapore, his aim was to create the latest prototype of sustainable hospitality.
It was done by introducing greenery. in almost every nook and cranny.
Knowing this in theory is one thing - seeing it in reality is another. Guests enter through the hotel's forest - a real "wow" moment - and this is where I begin the film.
The entrance lush is thick with foliage and there are nearly 100 different species of plants on the property covering 130,000 square feet (12,000 m²).
