The Empress 1 & 3 at Carlton Hotel Singapore

Empress 1 & 3 is a combined function space on the meeting and events floor of Carlton Hotel Singapore, located in the Bras Basah precinct of the city. The pairing of these two adjoining rooms offers event planners a flexible, mid-sized setting that can be configured to suit a wide variety of corporate and social occasions. The space carries the understated elegance that characterises Carlton Hotel's meeting venues — clean lines, professional finishes, and the kind of neutral palette that makes branding, décor, and production setups easy to layer on top. Whether the rooms are used together as a single expanded hall or kept as separate units depends on the nature and scale of the event, giving organisers meaningful control over how the space works for their audience.

Events & Occasions

Empress 1 & 3 is well suited to the full spectrum of business events: board meetings, training sessions, product presentations, seminars, and team workshops all find a natural home here. The combined configuration also lends itself to cocktail receptions, gala dinners, and private celebrations where guests benefit from a degree of intimacy that a larger ballroom cannot offer. Carlton Hotel's events team is experienced in transitioning the room between day conference use and evening social functions, making it a practical choice for events that evolve across a full day. In-house audiovisual support, catering by the hotel's food and beverage team, and dedicated event coordination are all available, streamlining the planning process from enquiry through to the day itself.

Location & Accessibility

Carlton Hotel Singapore sits at 76 Bras Basah Road, placing Empress 1 & 3 at one of the most accessible addresses in the city. The hotel is within comfortable walking distance of City Hall MRT Interchange, which sits on both the East–West and North–South lines, giving delegates and guests straightforward connections from across Singapore. The nearby Bras Basah MRT station on the Circle Line adds a further option. The surrounding Bras Basah–Bugis arts and heritage precinct means the hotel is close to the Singapore Art Museum, CHIJMES, and Raffles City Shopping Centre — a meaningful draw for guests who want to extend their trip before or after an event. For attendees arriving by car, the hotel offers parking facilities, and the central location means major expressways and taxi drop-off points are easily reached. The combination of transport links, cultural surroundings, and the hotel's own full-service facilities makes Empress 1 & 3 a compelling choice for planners looking for a centrally located, professionally managed event space in Singapore.
