Located within the 51-storey CapitaSpring building, guests staying at Citadines Raffles Place Singapore are offered exclusive access to a bird’s-eye city view from the Green Oasis (Levels 17-20) and the 1-Arden Sky Garden (Level 51).

The Green Oasis (Levels 17-20) is a four-storey garden paradise, filled with lush greenery and over 38,000 plants from more than 70 species.

I was absolutely amazed by the 360-degree elevated view from the 1-Arden Sky Garden (Level 51). Take a leisurely stroll along the Sky Garden to enjoy not only the breathtaking panoramic views from the Observatory Deck, but also the World’s Highest Food Forest—a beautifully maintained rooftop urban farm offering fresh, farm-to-table options for the restaurants on Level 51.
