About Empress 2 & 3
The Space
Empress 2 & 3 is a dedicated event space within Carlton Hotel Singapore, a well-established property situated in the Bras Basah district — one of the city's most central and culturally rich neighbourhoods. The combined Empress 2 & 3 configuration offers a flexible, column-free ballroom environment finished to the polished standards that Carlton Hotel Singapore is known for. The room's clean lines and neutral palette provide a versatile canvas that adapts readily to a wide range of event aesthetics, from elegant wedding receptions to sleek corporate setups. Its position within a full-service hotel means that everything from in-house catering to professional events coordination is immediately accessible to organisers.
The space benefits from quality built-in audio-visual infrastructure, air-conditioning throughout, and natural partitioning that allows Empress 2 and Empress 3 to be used either as a combined hall or as two independent rooms — giving planners genuine adaptability when managing breakout requirements or events that evolve across a day's programme. Ceiling heights and layout lend the combined room a sense of openness that supports both banquet-style arrangements and theatre or classroom configurations, making it suitable for varying guest numbers and formats.
Events & Occasions
Empress 2 & 3 is well suited to a broad spectrum of events. Corporate clients regularly use the space for seminars, product launches, team workshops, and annual dinners, drawing on the hotel's professional events team and in-house banqueting services. The combined hall comfortably accommodates wedding banquets, gala dinners, and social celebrations, where the hotel's catering team can curate menus appropriate to the occasion. Smaller, more focused gatherings — such as board meetings, training sessions, or networking receptions — can be hosted in Empress 2 or Empress 3 individually when the partition is drawn, giving organisers precise control over the room's scale.
Carlton Hotel Singapore's meetings and events department provides dedicated support throughout the planning process, covering everything from room layout advice and AV coordination to catering customisation and guest logistics. For events requiring overnight accommodation, the hotel's guest rooms are available within the same property, which is a meaningful convenience for out-of-town delegates or wedding parties.
Location & Accessibility
Carlton Hotel Singapore sits on Bras Basah Road, placing Empress 2 & 3 within easy reach of Singapore's civic and cultural belt. City Hall MRT station — served by both the East–West Line and the North–South Line — is a short walk from the hotel, making the venue accessible to guests arriving from across the island without relying on private transport. The Bras Basah area is flanked by landmarks including the Singapore National Museum, the Singapore Art Museum, and Raffles City Shopping Centre, offering guests convenient dining, retail, and sightseeing options before or after an event.
For guests arriving by car, the hotel provides parking access, and its Bras Basah Road address is straightforward to reach via major arterial roads from both the expressway network and the city centre. The combination of central location, MRT connectivity, and full hotel infrastructure makes Empress 2 & 3 a practical and professionally supported choice for organisers whose guests are arriving from different parts of Singapore or internationally.
