Introducing the debut of Lobby Bar, an intimate space designed for meaningful conversations. Situated within Amara Singapore, Lobby Bar is set to be an entirely different experience for guests. The dynamic space evolves with the rhythm of the day. Bathed in soft natural light during the day, the lobby exudes vibrant energy, offering a relaxed grab-and-go concept. As night falls, the amber glow of the Bar, complemented by a curated wine collection, transforms the space into a lively setting for the second act.
Boasting a minimalist design aesthetic, the space exudes a contemporary, considered, and elegant ambience, taking the experience to a new level. The Lobby Bar design pays homage to the heritage of its surrounding neighbourhood, incorporating the essence of the architectural and cultural nuances of Tanjong Pagar, where the hotel first opened in 1986. The characteristic solid granite steps leading to the bar are reminiscent of the covered walkways found throughout the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, terracotta elements in the bar’s backdrop reference the roofs of the area’s historic shophouses.
Leather, marble, and wood accents seamlessly come together to create a sense of timeless design, inviting our guests into a space tailored for refined relaxation. Further lending gravitas to the Lobby Bar is champagne-tinted steel panelling inspired by the corrugated steel panels that line the alleyways behind shophouses. The perforations along these panels mimic the pleats and folds of a curtain, creating a theatrical backdrop for the space. Coupled with a timber ceiling that draws inspiration from the rafters and beams used in the construction of shophouses, the Lobby Bar’s lofted space feels simultaneously intimate.
The careful selection of materials and attention to detail by Studio HBA contribute to an environment that is not only visually stunning but also functionally versatile. The deliberate combination of elements creates a space that caters to a variety of experiences, making it the perfect backdrop for both serendipitous moments and special occasions.
Collaborating with Grand Vin, Lobby Bar is poised to build a strong community of oenophiles, with a discerning variety of renowned wines. Top curations from renowned winemakers include Champagne Louis Roederer, Domaines Barons de Rothschild (Lafite) and Domaine Faiveley. Additionally, Lobby Bar will also have the privilege of housing Singapore’s most extensive collection of Champagne Louis Roederer. Founded in 1776, the Louis Roederer House is one of the last great Champagne houses to have remained family-run and independent in the region.
