Rich Asian colours meet tropical lushness in the new Artyzen Singapore hotel

- IAN LEE

Going down the driveway of Artyzen Singapore, Artyzen Hospitality Group’s first hotel in South East Asia, the Cuscaden Road property quickly leaves an impression with its terracotta-hued façade and the lush and varied greenery — growing vertically, suspending from the sky garden, and embracing the entrance of the hotel. Notably, Artyzen Singapore occupies an estate that was previously known as Villa Marie, a mansion built in the 1940s by the late Tan Hoon Siang, who was known as a true botany enthusiast.
