An Urban Greenhouse Concept with 250 Stylish Rooms and Accessible Tourist Locations

Citadines Science Park marks the 7th addition to the brand, with a unique concept of urban living. As a stylish sanctuary, it is the best option for those looking to live, work, and play in an immersive environment that combines urbanscape with lush greenery. With an impressive 250 rooms thoughtfully designed for levels 10 to 15, you can expect many family-friendly and couple-friendly guestrooms. 

It’s not often that you come across a hotel with an urban greenhouse concept, especially on the West Side. As a Westsider myself, I was in awe of the place's architecture, which featured an open and luminous layout adorned with abundant greenery in every corner. The property is super big on sustainability, too, aiming to save energy with low-carbon mobility options that include 466 bicycle lots. 

This hotel is just minutes from popular tourist attractions like Gardens By The Bay, Haw Par Villa, and Universal Studios Singapore, making it easy for guests to travel back and forth. If you are a tourist visiting Singapore for a while, you will be pleased to know that Changi Airport is a 25-minute drive away. Also, surrounding the building are abundant food and retail options, ensuring plenty of choices for all guests.

During our stay, we had the opportunity to explore the various rooms of the property, and we were impressed that each had the cosy familiarity of an Airbnb but with a luxurious feel.

Among the many types of guestrooms they offer, our favourite will have to be their One-Bedroom Deluxe. This 26-square-metre room boasts a soft and chic feel with its earthy tones and minimalistic interior. For a restful night in, take a deep sleep in the queen-sized bed and catch up on your beloved television series with the flat-screen television. 

Compared to other conventional hotels, this handy living space has a fully furnished kitchen with crockery, utensils, glassware and cookware. Instead of spending extra money on food delivery fees, you can have a homecooked meal with your other half or family members in the comforts of your room. Alternatively, warm up your leftovers in the microwave. Be prepared to stock up on some groceries with the refrigerator if you are planning for a longer staycation!
