Fresh from its redevelopment, Grand Hyatt Singapore brings back its award-winning spa and unveils a new integrated wellness hub, Damai, a reflection of the hotel’s holistic commitment towards well-being
Location
Grand Hyatt Singapore is located in the heart of Orchard Road, Singapore’s premier shopping district, with easy access to public buses and Orchard MRT station.
The hotel features Damai, a newly revamped wellness hub that includes a spa, thermal hydrotherapy facilities, fitness centre, and Damai House, where fitness classes take place.
Amenities
Walking into Damai’s reception lounge, the marble and wooden accents create a comforting yet elegant atmosphere. Just around the corner, the fitness centre catches the eye with its floor-to-ceiling windows and a range of sleek machines designed for a full-body workout.
Friendly staff provide a rubber bracelet that secures your locker in the spacious changing rooms. Inside, dressing tables offer basic amenities such as disposable combs, shower caps, and, to my delight, Dyson hairdryers. Fluffy towels and water are also thoughtfully provided.
Before heading to the showers, I took time to enjoy the thermal-hydrotherapy facilities, which include an outdoor wellness pool, sauna, salt steam room, air lounge hydro pool, and contrast therapy shower. The sauna, though small with a maximum capacity of four, was a toasty spot to sweat it out. The steam room offered a unique experience, feeling like a gentle mist bathing the body. For those sensitive to high heat, the air lounge hydro pool provided a soothing place to relax and enjoy a warm soak.
I also appreciated the ample shower cubicles, each equipped with a rain shower. Even on a busy Saturday morning, it was not too crowded, and I easily found a cubicle. The toiletries, provided by Savoir-Faire, had a refreshing scent that added to the experience.
Classes
I also had the chance to try a mindful movement class at Damai House, which features Singapore’s first Mind Body Therapy Wall. Led by Jimin Choi, the hotel’s master yoga and Pilates trainer, the session was a refreshing way to start the day.
Jimin showed us how to use the thick straps attached to the wall to stretch more deeply and safely, targeting areas like the back and legs while fully engaging muscles.
Afterward, I joined a vocal breath work class with Petrina Kow, a voice and public speaking coach. She guided us on how to use our voices to release body tension through sound — an interesting exercise in letting loose without feeling awkward.
Damai House also offers a wide range of classes including chair yoga, barre, mat Pilates, Zumba, high-intensity interval training, dancefit, and more.
Verdict
As a wellness hub, Damai offers a holistic approach to rejuvenating the body, mind, and spirit. Its wide range of fitness classes, well-being therapies, and facilities includes signature experiences using vibroacoustic therapy, light and heat treatments, and oceanic minerals – designed to relieve fatigue, jet lag, and digital stress, making it ideal for busy professionals on the go.
While I did not try all the classes and facilities that I wanted to, the gym with its shiny machines and the thought of having a relaxing spa treatment post-workout are calling me to return.
