About Sandalwood Room
The Sandalwood Room
The Sandalwood Room is a private meeting and event space within Paradox Singapore Merchant Court, a heritage hotel occupying a beautifully conserved building along the Singapore River in Clarke Quay. The room carries the warm, considered character that runs throughout the property — thoughtfully appointed, intimate in scale, and well-suited to gatherings where focus and atmosphere matter in equal measure. Its name evokes the rich, grounded sensibility of the hotel's design ethos, which draws on the merchant history of this storied riverside neighbourhood.
As one of the hotel's dedicated event spaces, the Sandalwood Room is designed for smaller, more purposeful occasions. The setting balances professional functionality with an ambience that feels more considered than a standard hotel meeting room — making it equally appropriate for a business presentation, a private dining experience, a workshop, or a social celebration that calls for an intimate setting.
Events & Occasions
The Sandalwood Room suits a range of event formats, from corporate meetings and executive briefings to private lunches, cocktail receptions, and celebratory dinners. Its scale makes it a natural choice for organisers who want the logistical reliability of a full-service hotel — professional catering, dedicated events staff, integrated audiovisual infrastructure — without the impersonal feel of a large convention space.
Paradox Singapore Merchant Court's culinary team supports events in the Sandalwood Room with tailored food and beverage arrangements. Guests benefit from the hotel's full-service hospitality, including the option to liaise with an in-house events coordinator who can assist with layout planning, catering menus, and vendor arrangements. For planners sourcing a corporate venue in Singapore, the room's hotel setting also simplifies logistics around accommodation for out-of-town delegates, as the property has guest rooms on-site.
The room can be configured to suit different event formats — theatre, classroom, boardroom, or banquet — offering flexibility across the kinds of gatherings it accommodates. Exact configuration capacities should be confirmed directly with the hotel's events team, as they vary by setup style and any staging or presentation equipment in use.
Location & Accessibility
Clarke Quay is one of Singapore's most recognisable riverside precincts, and Paradox Singapore Merchant Court sits at its centre. The hotel is within walking distance of Clarke Quay MRT station on the North East Line, making it straightforward to reach by public transport from across the city. The surrounding area offers a concentration of restaurants, bars, and entertainment options that make it easy for event guests to extend their evening or explore the precinct before and after a function.
For guests arriving by car, Clarke Quay has parking facilities in the vicinity, and the hotel's front desk can advise on the most convenient options. The riverside setting along the Singapore River lends the Sandalwood Room's location an unmistakable sense of place — particularly valued for client-facing events and occasions where first impressions extend beyond the room itself.
