The Ascott Soiree is a celebration of the art of living, featuring curated in-residence programs across various Ascott properties worldwide. These events merge the visual, performing, culinary, and couture arts to craft truly memorable moments.
In Singapore, Ascott Orchard Singapore, nestled in the heart of Orchard Road, offers a curated collection of in-residence programs and local collaborations through the signature Ascott Soiree programme. This initiative is designed to transform the typical stay into a vibrant, immersive experience, allowing guests to engage with arts, culture, and craftsmanship right within the comforts of a luxury residence.
For 2025 so far, highlighted Ascott Soiree programming includes chocolate tasting, floral arrangement, tote bag painting, candle making, and even Singapore Symphony Orchestra concerts.
During our recent stay, we were invited to experience one of these special workshops—leather crafting with Crafune, a local artisanal studio known for their hands-on workshops and bespoke products.
Held in the Residents’ Lounge, the session focused on creating snap-button leather cardholders, where participants, including both guests and residents, were guided through every step of the process.
Through the workshop, we learned the intricacies of leather crafting, from cutting and assembling to setting the snap buttons. The process was both therapeutic and rewarding.
We weren’t alone in this creative endeavor, fellow guests and residents joined in, adding a communal and interactive dimension to the experience. It is easy to see how such workshops can transform a regular stay into a vibrant journey of personal enrichment.
The best part? We walked away with a personalised keepsake, a tangible reminder of the experience.
Beyond the workshops, Ascott Orchard Singapore itself is a hospitality sanctuary located in the heart of Orchard Road. Since its debut in 2016, it has become a home away from home for expatriates, business travelers, and tourists. The property offers 220 thoughtfully designed suites, blending modern elegance with warm, earthy tones. Themed suites, adorned with Fendi Casa furnishings are available for those who prefer something more luxurious.
Guests staying here enjoy the perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. The residence is directly connected to Paragon shopping mall and is a short walk from Orchard and Somerset MRT stations.
Residents can also enjoy a range of amenities, including an outdoor pool, fully-equipped gym, business services, and the Residents’ Lounge, a perfect space to unwind or participate in curated programs like the Soiree workshops.
The Ascott Soiree program is a gateway to rich cultural experiences, offering guests a chance to engage with art and creativity in meaningful ways.
