Introduction
Located about 20 minutes drive away from the Changi international airport in Singapore, the One Farrer Hotel is a towering 5-star urban hotel. Known for their 'hotel-in-a-hotel' concept, which has 4 differentiated accommodation offerings to meet the expectations of different clientele, guests at One Farrer Hotel will enjoy a unique experience depending on which of the 4 hotel concepts they're in.
Ambience
Ambience at One Farrer Hotel exudes a quiet and refined elegance. There is a sense of opulence and culture, with curated artwork, paintings, murals, and sculptures adorning the walls, all created by artists engaged by The Farrer Park Company. Embracing the Greater Asian art culture, the entire complex has over 700 pieces of original contemporary abstract artwork, with unique pieces in each room. High ceilings, warm lighting, marble tiles, and gleaming finishes of gold against wood and metal create a sense of luxury. Cleanliness and hygiene is also taken care of, with regular cleaning being performed, and covid-19 safety measures in place.
Room
Rooms at One Farrer Hotel are large, spacious, and comfortable. I stayed at the Skyline Hotel concept, in the Skyline Studio apartment, which featured a generous floor space (among the largest I've ever seen), expansive city views from the floor-to-ceiling windows, fast wifi, a large working desk, decent cable television with in-room shopping, comfortable king bed and sofa, perfect-view wall mirrors, and an amenities-stocked bathroom with bathtub, dual shower, and closet. Enjoyed how clean and comfortable it was, so relaxing. There's also access to the exclusive Skyline Lounge with private rooftop swimming pool, and up to 3 complimentary pieces of pressing for clothes, per day.
Food
Food at One Farrer Hotel is mostly provided at the Garden Pavilion Restaurant. Fully air-conditioned and set amidst the Garden Walk, with flowy drapes and elegant chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, the large dining hall looks so welcoming. Quality of dishes is passable at best, underwhelming at worst. There's also the Sunset Bar, which provides some of the in-room dining options, here, the dishes fare slightly better. Naturally, the outsourced restaurants are the best, namely Socieaty By Les Amis and Tarte By Cheryl Koh, where you'll get consistently high restaurant quality dining. That said, there's a myriad of food options around the Farrer Park, Little India, and Jalan Besar area, all within walking distance, and you'll be spoilt for choice.
Service
Service at One Farrer Hotel is above average. Staff accord each guest personalised attention, and some actually remembered me by name. They work efficiently, and fulfill requests quickly. Thumbs up especially for the polite housekeeping staff, who are quick and tireless in room cleaning and turnover, checking if guests have further requests. Impressed enough that I gave them a big tip. Restaurant service in-house is somewhat lacking though, leading to long wait times to be seated or served, attributable not to individual staff per se, but an overall lack of manpower during peak periods. The service at the outsourced restaurants fare much better, with sufficient attentiveness and speed.
Facilities & Activities
The facilities and activities at One Farrer Hotel are more expansive than elsewhere. They even have in-house tours of their art collection and farms! Impressed also with the in-room shopping catalogue, though I wish they offered more free movie channels rather than paid versions. For the Skyline Hotel, there's a small but exclusive fitness corner and private pool, but the main hotel has a better equipped gymnasium and swimming pool. The meeting and conference facilities are spacious and well-equipped, no surprise to see 4 weddings over 2 days during our visit. The business centre is a little lacklustre though. The attached complex has convienence stores, and several shopping malls and markets (City Square Mall, Mustafa Centre, Tekka Centre, Little India Arcade) are just a walk away.
