The former Hilton Singapore gets a refreshing facelift and a new name — voco, which is Latin for “to invite” or “to call together”. Now owned by IHG Hotels & Resorts, voco Orchard Singapore combines the reassurance of a big brand with the informality and charm of an individual hotel, providing guests with a fun, unstuffy yet premium experience.
The 51-year-old iconic property will continue to offer 423 guest rooms, with four well-loved restaurants and bars — Opus Bar & Grill, D9 Cakery, il Cielo and Iggy’s, a rooftop swimming pool, a 24-hour gym and over 1,850sqm of meeting and social event spaces.
The “voco Experience” package combines familiar touches and warm hospitality with playful twists. Guests will enjoy swift check-ins and homemade spiced cookies as a welcome treat. “Me time” beckons, in guestrooms with signature voco touches, such as high-quality bedding made from 100% recycled materials and eco-friendly large-size bathroom amenities from Apotheke, a plant-based organic skincare brand. Room rate starts from $230++ per night per room, and includes complimentary breakfast for two adults and 10% discount at Opus Bar & Grill.

Night at the Museum
Museum of Ice cream
The Museum of Ice Cream is introducing an all-new Night at the Museum experience to help deepen relationships through a series of meaningful activities and intimate conversations.
A key activity is Cone-nection Cube — a series of quests for guests to complete that leads them to open up to one another, connect, and form fond memories. The reward for completing the challenge is a celebratory sprinkle shot at the al fresco bar. Post-Night at the Museum, couples can adjourn to the al fresco Café and Bar and admire the twinkling night sky while sipping on a Pink-a-Colada or Brewlander craft beers.
Tickets start from $48, and the night experience, which takes 60 to 90 minutes, comes with a Hendrick’s Lunar Gin cocktail and unlimited sweet treats. Book online at tickets.museumoficecream.sg.
