Finalist Awards 24
Celebrating its 15th anniversary in 2025, the renovation of CÉ LA VI Singapore celebrates the brands legacy while making a bold statement as it embraces the future.
Located on the rooftop of Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the Restaurant now welcomes guests to flow through distinct zones: a show-stopping main dining space crowned by a striking bar, an expanded Private Dining Room, and open-air rooftop terrace with Ocean View options. Together, the reimagined space now seats 151 guests.
The main dining room invites guests into a theatrical interplay where style meets edge. A mirror-stretched ceiling brightens the space, reflecting the rhythm of the city skyline by day and enhancing state-of-the-art lighting by night; a feature that’s ingeniously integrated into wooden panel slivers. This immersive lighting casts a dynamic and luminous display that seamlessly energizes the ambience as sunset becomes dusk. Burgundy-stained wood and rich textures guide guests through the warmth of the space, accented by bamboo pillars that subtly honor Southeast Asian craft.
The onyx stone bar stands proud – a vibrant centerpiece where cocktails and conversations converge; framed by a dramatic sculptural wooden column backdrop, and softly lit panels showcasing a selection of premium spirits. Wooden engravings are inspired from Singaporean cultural patterns.
Venturing up the stairs, the expanded Private Dining Room now houses an alluring and airy sanctuary that exudes its own personality and charm – perfect for hosting intimate celebrations, exclusive gatherings, or private events.
The room first captivates with an expansive ceiling adorned in botanical wallpaper and accented with brass detailing, soft, plush seating wrapped around warm marble-accented tables adds an inviting touch, while on the left, an elaborate built-in wine cellar glows, spotlighting a collection of top-shelf serves. On the right, design takes an eclectic turn: wooden panels are intricately carved with Southeast Asian motifs and playfully interrupted by bold, vibrant wallpaper cut-outs assembled like elegant, abstract mosaics. Anchoring the space opposite is one half of the sizable carved wooden pillar, grounding the space with Southeast Asian heritage.
The washroom design aesthetics are line with the brand DNA while introducing some eye-catching design elements such as the teal blue mirrors and surrounding wallcoverings.
Outdoors, the rooftop terrace and Ocean View seats stretch gracefully along Marina Bay Sands balustrade, now reimagined with soft ambient lighting, textured flooring and uninterrupted sea views. A key design feature is the central bar and its bespoke canopy with the shape of the national flower in Singapore the Vanda Miss Joaquim (pronounced Joe-ah-Kim).
As a whole, CE LA VI interprets Asian tradition through a modern lens, bringing an energetic atmosphere to the highest level – or the 57th, to be precise.
