About Bencoolen
The Bencoolen Space
Bencoolen is a dedicated event venue within JEN Singapore Tanglin by Shangri-La, a contemporary lifestyle hotel located on Cuscaden Road in Singapore's Tanglin district. The space takes its name from one of Singapore's storied streets, grounding it in the city's history while presenting a thoroughly modern environment suited to a wide range of private and professional gatherings. The room offers a self-contained setting with its own character — purposefully designed to provide both comfort and flexibility for organisers and their guests.
The interior reflects the relaxed-yet-polished aesthetic that defines JEN Hotels as a brand: clean lines, warm lighting, and a layout that can be configured to suit the specific demands of any event. Whether the occasion calls for theatre-style seating for a presentation, a classroom arrangement for a training workshop, or a banquet setup for a celebratory dinner, the room accommodates multiple configurations. The venue is supported by the hotel's in-house events team, who work with clients from initial enquiry through to the day itself.
Events & Occasions
Bencoolen is well suited to corporate events, including conferences, seminars, product launches, board meetings, and training sessions, as well as private social functions such as cocktail receptions and intimate celebrations. Its position within a full-service hotel means that guests benefit from the wider amenities of JEN Singapore Tanglin — including the hotel's food and beverage outlets and professional catering services — without having to source external suppliers for every element of the event.
The hotel's events team can assist with audiovisual equipment, staging, and customised food and beverage menus, making Bencoolen a practical choice for planners who want a single point of contact. This level of integrated support is particularly valued by corporate clients coordinating multi-session programmes or external teams unfamiliar with Singapore's vendor landscape.
Location & Accessibility
JEN Singapore Tanglin sits on Cuscaden Road, placing Bencoolen within one of Singapore's most well-connected and prestigious neighbourhoods. The Tanglin and Orchard corridor is home to a dense concentration of embassies, multinational offices, and international retail — making the hotel a natural fit for regional business events and delegations. Orchard Road, Singapore's primary shopping and lifestyle boulevard, is a short distance away, giving attendees easy access to dining, accommodation, and entertainment options before or after an event.
The hotel is accessible by taxi and private hire vehicle, and the surrounding road network connects efficiently to major expressways serving the city. For delegates arriving from overseas, the property's location in central Singapore means it sits within reasonable reach of Singapore Changi Airport. The Tanglin area is also walkable to several embassies and international schools, making it a practical base for events that draw an international or diplomatic guest list.
Planners looking for a venue that combines central location, professional hotel infrastructure, and a dedicated event space with flexible configurations will find Bencoolen at JEN Singapore Tanglin a compelling option in Singapore's competitive meetings and events market.
