Architecture[]

Overview of the building in 2013

The hotel was designed by WOHA, a Singaporean architecture firm known for incorporating greenery in their buildings.[6] The "hotel-in-a-garden" design of this building incorporates greenery, including green walls, water features and 15,000 square meters of tiered "sky gardens".[3][4][7]

The hotel's sky gardens are self-sustaining and consume minimal energy through the usage of solar cells, motion sensors, rainwater harvesting and reclaimed water.[3][4]

Facilities[]

Parkroyal on Pickering has 367 rooms and suits. The fifth floor of the hotel is a "wellness floor" with a day spa, fitness centre, infinity pool and garden.[4][2] The hotel also has a restaurant and bar called LIME.[2]
