From board meetings to ballroom galas, the Fort Canning Park landmark has quickly built a name as a place for the city to celebrate
Since opening in October 2025, Mett Singapore has approached hospitality as much a place to sleep as a place to gather. The five-star property sits inside a heritage-listed building dating to 1926, within the grounds of Fort Canning Park and a short walk from Orchard Road. The historic building itself marks its 100th anniversary in 2026, and now operates as the Singapore flagship for Sunset Hospitality Group, whose Mett portfolio also spans Bodrum in Turkey, and Marbella and Barcelona in Spain.
Canadian designer Jeffrey Wilkes reworked the interiors across all 84 rooms and suites, which range from the 35 sq m Deluxe Park View Room to the 160 sq m Mett Suite—the only category with a private balcony. It’s a fitting hand for a heritage building given Wilkes’s experience with similarly storied properties, including the Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, The Oberoi Udaivilas in Udaipur and Mandarin Oriental’s hotels in Singapore and Bangkok.
High ceilings and views over the park or the skyline run throughout at Mett, but the property’s identity has increasingly been shaped by what happens outside the guestroom.

Event spaces built for scale
Mett Singapore’s event spaces are built for range. The Grand Ballroom spans 950 sq m and can seat 450 guests banquet-style at round tables, or hold up to 1,000 for a standing cocktail reception. The Junior Ballroom overlooks the property’s banyan trees and seats 180 banquet-style or 250 standing. It also splits into three sections—Junior I, II and III—for breakout meetings, private dinners or smaller functions.
For weddings, the setting does much of the work. Outdoor ceremonies can take place within Singapore’s oldest botanical garden, with the reception moving into the Grand Ballroom and after-parties continuing at Canning Bar & Lounge. Open-air terraces run along the building’s original façade, and a full property buyout is also available.

The format extends to how a day is structured. Dinner could start with drinks on the terrace at L'Amo Bistrò del Mare, which is award-winning chef Daniele Sperindio’s ode to coastal Italian cuisine, before moving into Canning Bar & Lounge for the night’s later hours. The following morning could open with a friendly match of padel or time in the park rather than a packed agenda.
Sperindio, also Sunset Hospitality Group’s director of culinary and F&B, has two more concepts on the way at the hotel: Art di Daniele Sperindio, an intimate fine-dining restaurant, and Hanu, built around Korean grill and an omakase menu.

Mett Singapore general manager Marcel Li frames this rhythm—structured by day, looser by night—as central to how the property was designed: “At Mett Singapore, we ultimately believe moments to remember begin with connection,” he says. “Our event spaces are thoughtfully designed to bring people together, creating settings where celebrations feel effortless, experiences feel personal, and every gathering leaves a lasting impression.”
The hybrid format is pitched squarely at corporate groups: ballroom strategy sessions by day, wellness programming such as yoga or guided walks worked in around them, with recovery treated as part of the agenda rather than an afterthought.

Wellness on-site
After intense business discussions in the ballroom, hotel guests can unwind at the property’s extensive facilities. They are granted temporary resident membership of Madison House, the soon-to-open private members’ club, which gives guests access to two outdoor pools, a state-of-the-art gym and two outdoor padel courts for the duration of their stay.
Madison House will also house The Longevity Suite, a European longevity and biohacking clinic making its regional debut in Singapore. A preview showroom on-site already offers treatments including cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and dry floatation.

Getting there
Mett Singapore is close to Fort Canning Tree Tunnel, Plaza Singapura and the National Museum, and within walking distance of Dhoby Ghaut and Fort Canning MRT stations. A chauffeur-driven Denza D9, run in partnership with BYD, offers guests complimentary one-way rides within a 5km radius, and a vintage Vespa sidecar tour is available for those who want to see more of the city.
Whether the occasion is a quarterly offsite or a wedding reception, Mett Singapore’s pitch comes down to flexibility: a ballroom that scales from a boardroom lunch to an 800-seat gala, a dining line-up anchored by an award-winning chef and a growing wellness offering that gives guests reason to stay on property well beyond checkout.
