The Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore

The Ritz was quite underwhelming. Having stayed at other Ritz Carlton and Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties, the Millenia needs some work to raise its game. The rooms are fine. Your view will either be Marina Bay or Marina East. You should request a Marina Bay view. The rooms I had was spacious but showing signs of wear. The chaise lounge fabric had some light staining. The bathroom marble countertop had a chip/gouge. The light switches needed several attempts to operate. Overall, the feeling was that this is not one of the best Ritz Carlton properties. The dining options are OK. The Colony restaurant is essentially a multi station buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I personally found it underwhelming. There are other dining options in Republic and Summer House. Colleagues reported an outstanding experience there. The hotel pool and gym area on 1st floor are adequate. Poolside service was efficient via QR code ordering. On prior trips I stayed at the JW Marriott nearby. I will go back there on my next trip.

My friends and I decided to celebrate her Post bday and New Year get together at the Republic Lounge & Bar of Ritz Carlton Millenia walk SG. They both have tried the set menu once or twice before and even stayed at this hotel more than once. So as they advice we decided to come back here again and because its always my first time. Lucky we made the right decision - its the perfect place to get together, celebrate, chill and date away from the other busier spots. And to make your experience Fine dining at is finest Ritz Carlton provides you the most elegant and classy settings beyong your expectations!!! To make our experience even better our server Toni gave us the best VIP and 5 star fine dining experience more than what we could hope for!!! Located at the main lobby of Ritz Carlton on the right side, it has 2 areas - Bar and Lounge area. What makes it unique is that you could have drinks and food on both sides. The only difference is the lighting and interior design. The Bar is more dimly lit and has a middle bar counter whilst the Lounge is brightly lit and is beautiffuly decor with high quality tables/chair, high ceiling with high class chandeliers and elegant lighting on the surrounding walls. Decorated flowers and plants adorn from the main entance to each tables made of Glossy Brown wood. The smell of the lounge is like an Artisan Perfume so you don’t need one actually hehe. Ritz Carlton is actually near Promenade station via Exit A and as you walk to its uphill lobby you would be greeted by MBS and SG Flyer which is a good place to walk through. We didn’t reserve any tables that night but we arrived around 7 PM luckily there’s still 1 free table in the lounge dining area which is what we are aiming for. We are seated just by the front person and its a 3 seat wooden Brown table with 2 wooden chairs and a Grey lounge chair than can set 2 people so in total 4. The table/chairs is like traditional Spanish design and the lounge chair is modern so its like a combo of modern with some classic style. I loved the cute fresh Flowers on the table and as mentioned the lighting around the lounge is well lit not too bright just the perfect brightness. As mentioned, the Ritz lounge have all day ala carte menu and dish but we came here for the Set Menu which runs from 12 PM to 2:30 PM for lunch and from 6 PM to 10 PM for the dinner. Their menu is seasonal so what I’m presenting now is what they currently offer. It includes appetizers, mains and desserts. For the former we can choose - Avocado Crab Louie salad, Heirloom Tomato Tarte, or Wild Mushroom soup. For the mains they have Prime Beef Wellington, Roasted Salmon and Cavatelli Pasta. The Dessert choices include Tahitian Vanilla Tarte or Ice Cream and Sorbet. The set costs 48 SGD++. If you need to avail drinks, you can top up with a Glass of Champagne for 20 SGD or any drinks, however, they also served Water in the house for free if you don’t want any other drink which is a good plus for us. Instead of Champagne we availed of their current offer - Oysters Florentine (3 pcs) with Champagne (Champagne Barons de Rothschild) offered exclusively by Ritz. Because for just 28 SGD++ you got a glass of champagne with 3 baked oysters at its finest. Before diving in to my food review, Toni helped us with in the house Butter breads with Fresh butter, Glass of Water and poured our Rothschild champagne. She showed us the exclusive Champagne by Ritz first freshly chilled and poured into our glasses intricately!!!. The service was quite fast and very efficient - kudos to Toni and staff of Republic!!! The Butter bread sets the tone of our dinner - we got 2 each and they served 2 butter for sharing. OMG - one of the best butter breads I’ve tasted in my life!!! Fluffy, Tender, Moist and Buttery - very yummy, tasty and delicious you could really taste the perfect amount of butter and the fresh taste of milky bread. What a great way to start your dinner and it really set the tone. We even availed them again one more time hehe for freeeee!!! The Champagne was equally amazing - just the perfect blend of sweetness and bitterness and the crisp fine texture of the champagne completes the whole experience!!! Before serving the Oysters which will be freshly baked as per Toni, we got our first meal - the Avocado Crab Louie salad which all of us availed. The salad looks simple yet has some finess and elegance on it. The simplicity is quite the opposite of the experience of having it. Consists of chunks of boiled Crab meats, Quail eggs, Radish, Apple, Cucumber slices on top of Bibb Lettuce base. The dressing is thousand eyes which balances the lightness of the salad. Served on an elegant Beige plate it really looks simple yet the experience and fresh of its ingredients which amazingly blends well together tops it all off!!! What a great way to start our appetizers!!! After the sald, Toni served the Oysters - 9 pieces in total sitting on top of rock salat - what a creative idea!!! It is the first time for 3 of us to try this way of Oysters - Baked with Spinach on Momay sauce. The Oysters were fresh and perfectly baked - not too well done soft, juicy and tender. The Spinach blends well with the Oysters and the Momay sauce - OMG what a good combination - its one of the best sauce I’ve tasted. Creamy, Milky, Cheesy, Savoury but not too overpowering. It blended well with the Oyster removing its fishy taste. We finished all of the Oysters in to time before our main dishes were served we were already full hehe!!! For the mains - my 2 friends ordered Prime Beef Wellington and I order Roasted Salmon and both were equally good, fresh and delish!!! Servings wise the former is bigger because the prime beef was wrapped in a bread crust with Pureed Potatoes and Glazed Carrots topped with Parsley and Bordelaise sauce. I didn’t try this but my friends said the meat was juicy, fresh and tender. For me, I tried the latter - it consists of Roasted Salmon, Potato Gnocchi, Asparagus with French style peas and underneath them is the cream sauce. The platting for my dish really stood out - sauce as base, veggies in full Green color, the white Gnocchis and the Roasted salmon on top. I requested for well done and they obliged and it was perfectly cooked well done!!! What stood out for me here are the Potato Gnocchis - what a clever and creative idea to prepare Gnocchi this way - good job Ritz Lounge!!!! The symmetry and harmony of colors, flavours and textures really blend well. The salmon was fresh and not fishy, the veggies were fresh and just the right crunchiness and the Gnocchi was soft and tender. It was a smorgasbord of taste and texture in my palette and since we had Champagne the fish dish pairs perfectly well with the Champagne!!! Overall another 10/10 for our main dishes Good job Ritz!!! Finally, the desserts we tried both of them - the Tahitian vanilla tarte and the Ice Cream Sorbet The former is our favouriteee - the Passion fruit on it really stood out - very fresh, little sweet, tangy and balanced. Its called Passionfruit Creme Chiboust and Honeycombs. The latter is is a simple Vanilla ice cream with Sorbet topped with Tropical marshmallow and Exotic fruit salad. Its also well balanced of sweetness and tanginess. However, we would recommend the former which is quite unique and creative to complete and finish this amazing, delicious, unforgettable and VIP level fine ding experience we experienced at the Republic lounge of Ritz Millenia!!! All of these dishes only costs us 48 SGD++ excluding drinks/oysters. You could not find this price in other similar places so what a great deal it is!!! But wait there’s more - we thought were done for the night but we got a special Bday cake from Toni because it was my friend’s post Bday celebrations as well. The Miini Chocalate cake with Nuts is quite elegant and truly beautiful with a Happy Birthday fondant message and Yellow candle on top on an Elegant plate really is the cherry on top of our Five star VIP dining experience at Ritz lounge. The cake is a chocolate mousse with nuts and Milk chocolate fondant. We thought were already full but we couldn’t help but finish this super delicious cakes - perfect balance of sweetness, bitterness, creamyness and nuttyness. We sang a Bday song for my friend as well before sharing this cake!!! What a great night it was!!! And just as we thought the night is over - another surprise came up to us - a special complimentary cocktail drink from Toni. Its similar to Samosa, Blood orange in colour and it was so good called Garibaldi. Its made of Italian cocktail Campari and Fresh Orange juice giving it that distinct Blood Orange colours!!! Its a perfect mix of Campair and Orange juice - tangy, bitter and crisp - what a great way to culminate our 5 start VIP dining experience!!! Many thanks to Toni for delivering this incredible, friendly, informative, and VIP service she gave and served on us which we would never forget!!! To sum it all up - what I could say we are truly speechless!!! It was a night to remember - we really had a 5 stars VIP fine dining experience at the Ritz Republic lounge and because of this we will surely be back again!!! Kudos to Toni and Ritz Republic lounge staff for an Exceptional job well done - this is what were looking for - delicious/fresh/unique food and drinks, VIP experience, friendly and exceptional staff, elegant dining, making us feel special, and most of all it is something we would never forget that’s why I’m writing this Exceptional review for them!!! Keep up the Exceptional work Ritz Republic Lounge looking forward to dine and stay at your place again!!!! Highly Recommended!!! :=)

This hotel is simply perfect. Without a doubt the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Every member of the team we interacted with were friendly, charming and professional. Attention to detail was amazing; providing my mother with a bookmark because the housekeeping staff saw she was reading a book and didn’t have one. We had club lounge access, which was really exceptional, with wonderful delights to eat.I can not wait to go back and experience the hotel all over again

What a great place , well worth paying extra for the Floor 32 experience if you can afford it . Stayed in many hotels but the service here was excellent , you truly felt special , and a special mention to Violet who looked after us nothing was too much trouble for her . The location is ideal too , you can walk to most things from there or a short Taxi ride , perfect for a pre - cruise stay . If I return to Singapore without a doubt we will be booking on there .

Wonderful stay for a getaway city trip to Singapore. The hotel overlooks Marina Bay and is conveniently located with plenty of shopping options nearby. Haji Lane, Bugis Street, MBS are all nearby on walking distance. The hotel sits on top of Promenade MRT Station from which you have access to the entire city. The rooms are nicely designed and very comfortable. The hexagon window design is very iconic. The hotel facilities are well maintained with special mention of the gym, which was very well equipped. Breakfast is out of this world. Republic lounge has a great set lunch with very nice food and lovely ambiance during the day. The service and offerings at the Club lounge are outstanding and couldn’t be better. Loved the views as well!
