PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay, Singapore has emerged as a standout performer at the Travel Daily Media Travel Trade Excellence Awards 2026 – Asia, securing three category wins that underscore its dual focus on premium business hospitality and environmental responsibility. The property was named Business Hotel of the Year – Singapore, MICE Hotel of the Year – Singapore, and Sustainable Hotel of the Year – Singapore.
Located in the heart of Marina Bay, the 583-room hotel is strategically positioned for corporate travellers and event organisers. It sits within easy reach of Singapore's financial district, major convention venues, and key attractions. Direct connectivity to Marina Square Shopping Mall and proximity to Suntec Singapore Convention and Exhibition Centre and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay make it a convenient base for business and leisure alike.
Business meets wellbeing
As Singapore's first Garden-in-a-Hotel, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay integrates more than 2,400 plants across over 60 varieties into its indoor spaces, creating a calming environment that supports productivity and wellbeing. For executives seeking an elevated experience, COLLECTION Club Rooms and Suites provide access to the COLLECTION Club Lounge, where guests can enjoy breakfast, afternoon tea, evening cocktails, and other privileges.
The hotel's central location also places guests within walking distance of iconic landmarks such as Gardens by the Bay and Merlion Park, and three MRT stations are just a short stroll away, facilitating easy exploration of the city.
Events with a greener edge
With more than 20,000 square feet of flexible function space, the hotel caters to a wide range of events, from executive meetings to large conferences and gala dinners. The pillar-free Garden Ballroom, which can accommodate up to 650 guests, features an LED starlit ceiling, while the Atrium Ballroom overlooks the hotel's lush atrium.
Sustainability is woven into the event experience. The hotel's Urban Farm supplies fresh produce and herbs for event menus, and creative dishes such as Watermelon Rind Kueh Pie Tee demonstrate how upcycled ingredients can be used thoughtfully. Dining venues include the halal-certified all-day restaurant Peppermint and Peach Blossoms, which serves fine Singapore Chinese cuisine.
To help delegates understand the hotel's environmental practices, curated sustainability tours offer a closer look at the Urban Farm, energy-efficient features, and other green initiatives. Digital menus accessed via QR codes further reduce paper use at meetings and banquets.
Sustainability at every step
Sustainability is embedded in the hotel's design and daily operations. During its 2020 rejuvenation, the property retained its original facade and architecture rather than reconstructing the building, significantly reducing embodied carbon.
The indoor greenery is complemented by an urban farm growing more than 60 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and edible flowers. This produce supports farm-to-table and farm-to-bar offerings, while the kitchens adopt zero-waste practices by finding creative uses for ingredients that might otherwise be discarded.
The hotel has also introduced in-room water filtration systems and glass bottles that have eliminated more than 360,000 single-use plastic bottles annually. Refillable bathroom amenities replace two million pieces of miniature plastic packaging each year, and 210 rooftop solar panels generate around 350kWh of energy daily.
These efforts are supported by internationally recognised Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) certification and Singapore's BCA Green Mark Super Low Energy certification. The hotel also offers free sustainability tours for members of the public and school groups, sharing its practices and encouraging greater awareness of responsible hospitality.
The triple win at the Travel Trade Excellence Awards – Asia highlights PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay's approach to creating a city-centre hotel that serves business travellers and event organisers while making sustainability an integral part of the guest experience. The awards programme, which recognises excellence across hotels, airlines, airports, cruise lines, tour operators, travel agencies, booking platforms, and travel technology, has become a benchmark for industry achievement in the Asia Pacific region.
