If you've ever been captivated by an immortal destined to suffer for love, it all began here.

A fresh dining destination is taking shape on Orchard Road. @nomadhotelsingapore has opened reservations for its four dining venues, each bringing a distinct personality to the table, from the live-fire cooking and dry-aged steaks of Nomad Grill to the Cuban-inspired cocktails and Singaporean-inflected dishes at Tropicana Club. For something more playful, Sticky Fingers moves from speciality coffee and indulgent soft-serve sundaes by day to inventive cocktails by night, while Lù Bar pairs its relaxed poolside setting with drinks and local favourites. With menus shaped by global culinary director Josh Harnden and director of culinary Lorenz Hoja, alongside a cocktail programme overseen by Leo Robitschek, there is plenty to explore, whether you are planning a leisurely lunch, dinner with friends, or drinks that stretch into the evening.
