Amara Singapore has recently unveiled its newly redesigned Lobby Bar and Cafe Oriental, showcasing a perfect blend of the neighborhood’s rich heritage and contemporary design elements. The hotel has collaborated with local consultancy Studio HBA to create inviting and sophisticated spaces that reflect the cultural nuances of Tanjong Pagar.
The Lobby Bar is a dynamic space that evolves throughout the day, offering a relaxed grab-and-go concept during daylight hours and transforming into a lively setting for evening gatherings. The minimalist design aesthetic incorporates elements inspired by the surrounding neighborhood, such as solid granite steps reminiscent of covered walkways and terracotta elements referencing the roofs of historic shophouses. The careful selection of materials, including leather, marble, and wood accents, contributes to a timeless and elegant ambience.
The Lobby Bar aims to create a strong community of wine enthusiasts, offering a discerning variety of renowned wines from top curations by winemakers from around the world. The bar will also host engaging wine-tasting masterclasses, providing guests with the opportunity to expand their knowledge and passion for wine.

Adjacent to the Lobby Bar, Cafe Oriental has reopened with a refreshed interior design that reimagines the modern-day hawker stall. The cafe incorporates design elements such as tiled floor patterns and stainless steel counters, while landscape designer Lee Han Yang of Main Green has enveloped the interiors with lush foliage, creating a welcoming spot for food lovers and travelers to enjoy Singapore’s city in a garden.
Cafe Oriental’s menu features hearty dishes inspired by Singapore’s diverse cultural mosaic and time-honored recipes passed down through generations. The cafe brings together timeless heritage charm with refreshing elements of a modern atmosphere, making it an inviting space for guests to savor the flavors of Singapore.
The newly redesigned Lobby Bar and Cafe Oriental at Amara Singapore showcase the hotel’s commitment to creating meaningful experiences for its guests. By seamlessly blending the neighborhood’s rich heritage with contemporary design elements, these spaces offer a unique and inviting atmosphere for guests to unwind, connect, and indulge in the best of Singapore’s culinary and cultural offerings.
