EQUINOX
A dining & entertainment complex atop the world’s tallest hotel
Equinox is located at the highest vantage point in Singapore, on levels 68 through 72 of the landmark Raffles City complex. Offering unparalleled views of the city-state, Indonesia and Malaysia, the bold New Asian design reflects Singapore's status as a leading international port and financial center, as well as a rich and vibrant multi-ethnic society.
The complex is a composition of spaces, each with a distinct image and appeal. Encompassing 40,000 square feet with a seating capacity of approximately 900, it includes five restaurants and bars. The ground-floor Introbar establishes a street level presence and a point of entry to the complex.
A semi-private seating area provides a place for patrons to meet their guests prior to ascending private elevators to the 70th floor arrival foyer, leading to Cityspace, an upscale bar and lounge;
Equinox, the main dining space; Jaan, a more intimate dining venue; the New Asia Bar and Grill, a lively dining and entertainment scene; plus private dining suites.
The distinct environments are linked by a design which contrasts the forms, materials and colors of traditional Asian cultures with modern design elements. Unexpected juxtapositions lend a sense of visual excitement that plays off the multitude of experiences the complex offers, befitting its status as a place to see and be seen.
