The Luxury Collection, part of Marriott International’s portfolio of over 30 hotel brands, has announced the opening of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort as the brand’s first property in Singapore. The property is situated in Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), Singapore’s first integrated resort.
Sense of Place
Designed by award-winning firm P49 Deesign and spanning over 82,342 square feet, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort embodies a sophisticated esthetic that blends contemporary elegance with Singapore’s heritage. Open verandas and historically inspired details are incorporated to shape a distinctive environment that celebrates cultural authenticity with quiet elegance. Orchids, Singapore’s national flower, grace the property in carefully curated arrangements, reinforcing the hotel’s intimate connection to local culture and nature while adding beauty to every space.
Upon arrival at the resort, guests are gently embraced by Voyage Céleste, an exclusive signature scent, specially created by Maison21G. This welcome ritual continues with a signature drink infused with local ingredients. At the lobby, guests can also enjoy a presentation of Asian-inspired delicacies such as artisanal Nyonya kueh, handcrafted kaya and coconut cookies, mango-infused tarts, and a selection of premium regional dried fruits.

The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort features a collection of 183 suites. Each suite embodies refined contemporary interiors, from luxurious bedding to curated furnishings with sleek monochromatic accents. In-room refreshments include ETTE Tea, renowned for its Singaporean-inspired blends; Notter Nuts with a bespoke seaweed flavor created exclusively for the resort; and Mr. Bucket Chocolaterie, a boutique chocolaterie crafting chocolates made from sustainably sourced cacao from Asia.
Laurus Table, the specialty restaurant, features a celebrity consultant chef and a menu of sustainable dishes inspired by the region. Complementing the culinary offerings are a spa, a fully equipped fitness center, and a landscaped pool.
Sustainability
Since its inception over 15 years ago, RWS has remained committed to advancing sustainable tourism by continuously pushing boundaries and adopting best-in-class practices. Today, this commitment is exemplified once again with The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, which sets a new benchmark in sustainable luxury.
From the moment guests arrive, The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, reveals its thoughtful design. Every suite is designed to elevate both comfort and sustainability, supported by a smart Guest Room Management System (GRMS) that balances guest comfort with energy efficiency. The hotel is on track to achieve the Building and Construction Authority’s (BCA) Green Mark Platinum certification, recognizing its excellence in sustainable building practices. In addition, suites at The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, will feature handpicked artworks by two artists from ART:DIS, celebrating the talent of local artists with disabilities while creating vibrant and inspiring spaces.
Beyond infrastructure, sustainable choices are seamlessly integrated into the guest experience, from refillable shower amenities to reusable bags that reduce single-use packaging. Filtered water faucets replace bottled water, and linen and towel reuse programs invite guests to participate in mindful, responsible luxury.
Trees felled for the expansion of RWS have been artfully repurposed by Arthur Zaaro into bespoke cutting boards, bowls, and serving trays. Complementing this touch of craftsmanship, uniforms and amenities are designed by local brands and creative talents as part of RWS’s ongoing resolve to supporting local vendors and reducing environmental impact through regional sourcing.
Guests can also unwind in the sensory garden of The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, a tranquil sanctuary of native flora and rich avian diversity. Thoughtfully landscaped to promote ecological harmony, the sensory garden encourages pollination through strategically placed habitat niches and nesting structures. The result is a vibrant ecosystem that supports local biodiversity while beautifying the hotel. From architecture to art and cuisine, every experience at The Laurus, a Luxury Collection Resort, is part of a larger story that honors nature, uplifts communities, and redefines sustainable luxury.
