The Green Wall of Fairmont Singapore

Tucked within Singapore’s city centre, where sleek buildings and busy streets define the view, our Green Wall at Fairmont Singapore offers something different. It’s a calming presence — a lush, Green Wall that wraps the entrance in natural beauty, reminding us that even in an urban setting, nature can have a place.

From the moment you approach the hotel, the atmosphere begins to shift. Layered with tropical foliage, the Green Wall introduces a sense of tranquility. It creates a refreshing break from the cityscape — a soft, natural welcome before you even step through our doors.

Design with Purpose: Beauty Meets Sustainability

But it’s more than just a beautiful backdrop. Every detail of this feature has been carefully considered. Each plant was selected not only for its appearance, but also for its environmental contribution. Native species like Davalia Denticular and Phymatosorus Scolopendria connect us to the region’s rich tropical heritage, while air-purifying varieties such as Pilea Nummerfloria and Nephrolepis Bostoniensis support cleaner surroundings. Cascading greenery like Philodendron Scandens Green adds gentle movement and elegance, while sculptural ferns such as Drynaria Quercifolia bring depth and texture to the space.

In total, the Green Wall comprises approximately 2,100 individual plants, thoughtfully arranged to create a vibrant, living tapestry. Together, they form a thriving ecosystem — one that not only enhances the guest experience, but also reflects our deepening commitment to sustainability.

Greening the City, One Wall at a Time

The Green Wall offers practical benefits too. Its surface temperature can be reduced by up to 5%, and air quality within its vicinity is enhanced by 30%. This helps cool and freshen the space around our driveway, creating a more comfortable environment for guests arriving by foot or vehicle, and for our colleagues who work in the area throughout the day.

The Green Wall is a small but thoughtful addition that supports Singapore’s broader efforts to green the city. As the first thing many guests encounter, it offers a quiet, natural welcome — a simple gesture that helps make special happen.

Though modest in scale, the wall reflects our belief that luxury and responsibility can grow side by side. It’s a reminder that even the smallest details matter — both to the guest experience and to the Singapore we call home.

We invite you to discover more about how we’re shaping a greener future — not just through what we build, but through the values that guides our actions.
