Fairmont Singapore
Fairmont Singapore (Chinese: 费尔蒙特酒店) is the sister hotel located within the Raffles City complex in Singapore. It has a total of 778 rooms and suites housed within two 26-storey towers.
History
The Westin Plaza opened in October 1986, as part of the Raffles City complex, which also included a shopping mall, a convention center, an office tower and an adjoining sister hotel, The Westin Stamford. At the conclusion of Westin's 15-year management contract with Raffles Holdings, the hotels were both renamed on 1 January 2002, with The Westin Plaza becoming Raffles The Plaza and The Westin Stamford becoming Swissôtel The Stamford. Raffles The Plaza was renamed again on 12 December 2007, becoming the Fairmont Singapore. In September 2019, Fairmont Singapore completed a renovation of the South Tower.
Aquaponics Farm
Together with Swissotel The Stamford, Fairmont Singapore set up a 450 sq m rooftop aquaponics farm in 2019 where fish and plants are grown together in a closed system. The farm is expected to grow 30% of all vegetables required across the 2 hotels.
