INTERCONTINENTAL SINGAPORE

ARRIVE

With intricate Peranakan carvings and pre-colonial artifacts, to
surrounding heritage trails and cultural sites, look forward to a truly immersive stay experience.

The visual representations combine traditional Chinese motifs and geometrical-patterned tiles, depicting the rich local heritage of the city.

Adding to the stunning setting, the ceiling is a modern reinterpretation of elegant tile motifs while the tall pillars feature colourful tiles, both elements harking from the classic Peranakan architecture style of yesteryear, still seen in shophouses in Singapore’s preservation heritage precincts.

LUCE By Davide Giacomelli
From the bright flavours on the plate to the warm, inviting atmosphere, light is at the heart of everything behind LUCE. Here, you’ll find traditional Italian cuisine at its purest, where simplicity is an art form and fresh seasonal produce is the star on every plate. The dishes are a culmination of Chef de Cuisine Davide Giacomelli’s training under the tutelage of multiple Michelinstarred chefs throughout his career and pays homage to his earliest love affair – the sight, scent and flavours of classic Italian cooking at his father’s restaurant in the quaint town of Sirmione, ‘the pearl’ of Lake Garda.
