Bras Basah Road, Fairmont Singapore, Singapore
Few city hotels in Southeast Asia combine colonial landmark status with the operational scale that Fairmont Singapore delivers on Raffles Avenue. Anchored beside the Esplanade and commanding views of Marina Bay, this iconic five-star property has been a cornerstone of Singapore's events landscape since it opened as the Westin Stamford in 1986 — once the tallest hotel in the world. Today, Fairmont Singapore houses 769 guest rooms across two towers and a dedicated convention infrastructure that accommodates up to 10,000 guests, making it one of the largest full-service event destinations in the city-state.
The property's meeting and events portfolio spans more than 40 function rooms and a total of approximately 90,000 square feet of event space. The Raffles City Convention Centre, integrated within the complex, forms the operational core — anchored by the Grand Ballroom, which can seat up to 3,500 guests for a banquet or expand to 5,000 for a cocktail reception. The Simpor Ballroom and the Anthurium Ballroom offer mid-scale configurations ideal for corporate banquets, product launches, and hybrid broadcast setups. All halls are equipped with professional audiovisual infrastructure, high-speed fibre connectivity, and dedicated event coordination teams — essential for large-format MICE events and multi-track conference programming.
Fairmont Singapore is a proven address for international conferences and association congresses, with the technical depth and accommodation inventory to support multi-day residential programmes. For weddings, the Grand Ballroom's chandeliered interiors and pillar-free layout make it among the most sought-after banquet settings in Singapore. One operational consideration planners should note: given the scale of the complex and its frequent use by concurrent large-group events, early block-booking of accommodation and detailed logistical pre-planning with the venue's events team is strongly advised — particularly for peak season dates. The property's in-house catering operates under Accor's Food & Beverage standards, with customisable menus supported by a dedicated culinary brigade.
Fairmont Singapore and its parent complex have received consistent recognition from the regional MICE and hospitality industry, including multiple TTG Travel Awards and acknowledgements from the Singapore Tourism Board for contributions to business events infrastructure. The property holds five-star status and operates under Accor's Fairmont brand, a globally recognised luxury hospitality group with deep expertise in large-scale event management. These affiliations provide planners with assurance around service consistency, international billing standards, and cross-portfolio loyalty benefits through the ALL — Accor Live Limitless programme.
For corporate planners managing incentive travel, annual general meetings, or multi-day summits, Fairmont Singapore's Bras Basah location provides immediate access to the city's cultural precinct, Raffles City Shopping Centre, and the City Hall MRT interchange — reducing ground transport complexity for international delegates. The 769 on-site guest rooms, multiple F&B outlets including Anti:dote and Prego, and a 24-hour fitness and spa facility allow planners to design a fully self-contained programme. Enquiries for the property can be submitted directly through the Spalba listing to confirm space availability and receive a detailed event proposal.
