In Singapore, where the skyline reflects ambition and pressure – hospitality is also evolving, becoming more intimate, storied, and rooted in place. For the third quarter of 2025, Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) will unveil a landmark property that redefines what refined travel can mean in Singapore. Introducing The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, which is Singapore’s first under Marriott International’s globally celebrated Luxury Collection brand.
More than just a hotel, The Laurus is a curated retreat that invites global explorers to slow down, reconnect, and indulge in a deeply personal experience of elegance. With 183 all-suite accommodations, bespoke design, and a setting nestled on the edge of a tropical forest, the resort seeks to set a new benchmark for luxury in Singapore!
A Name That Symbolises Distinction
The name Laurus isn’t incidental. Derived from the laurel leaves traditionally used to crown victors and honour those of great achievement, it evokes a quiet strength – a symbol of distinction earned, not given. And just like its namesake, The Laurus arrives not with spectacle, but with substance. Every aspect of the resort is designed to reflect this thoughtful ethos. Crafted in collaboration with Marriott International, this boutique property draws inspiration from a collector’s private residence – a space where each object tells a story.
The Laurus blends historic colonial design cues with Singapore’s lush, tropical appeal, resulting in a style best described as timelessly modern. The interiors feature monochromatic palettes, curated furnishings, and textural richness that reward both the eye and the senses. It’s a place that feels less like a hotel and more like the home of a well-travelled adventurer, with a house filled with wares from around the world.
A Place to Pause, Celebrate, and Return To
Set across five floors and tucked beside a verdant forest at the edge of Resorts World Sentosa, The Laurus offers a rare balance of exclusivity and accessibility. Each of its 183 suites is a sanctuary of comfort and calm, designed to foster a sense of quiet, soothing renewal.
But beyond the suites, the resort invites guests to engage with space in multiple ways. There are courtyard gardens for morning reflection or afternoon tea, and a function room for intimate celebrations and ceremonies. A gorgeously landscaped outdoor swimming pool offers a tranquil escape, while a full-service spa delivers moments of deep rejuvenation.
For those with a passion for cuisine, an all-day-dining restaurant will offer a new epicurean concept, promising a menu that blends global inspirations with local soul. An onsite bar completes the experience, perfect for deep conversations over freshly mixed cocktails. Whether you’re arriving for a celebration, retreat, or discovery, The Laurus promises a space that’s exactly what you need it to be.
A Collaboration Rooted in Vision and Legacy
The Laurus is more than a standalone property; it’s a statement of intent. As Tan Hee Teck, CEO of Resorts World Sentosa, explained, “The resort is a cornerstone of RWS’ broader transformation into a premium lifestyle destination. By bringing The Luxury Collection to Singapore, RWS affirms its vision to offer ‘curated destination experiences’ that transcend traditional hospitality.”
This isn’t just about building a new hotel, it’s about reimagining Sentosa as a place of elevated escape and deeper connection. The Laurus symbolises this pivot: intimate, design-led, and deeply rooted in place.
For Marriott International, the collaboration is equally meaningful. As Rajeev Menon, President of Asia Pacific (excluding China), noted, “The Laurus reflects Marriott’s commitment to evolving luxury in Asia’s most dynamic cities. It’s a celebration of Singapore’s cultural richness, expressed through the distinctive lens of The Luxury Collection – where each property is a destination unto itself.”

In a city known for being fast-paced and high-strung, The Laurus offers a different kind of luxury – one rooted in story and soul. It’s a place where the annals of history meet the comforts of modern design, where every guest can have their needs feel truly understood.i
