Rooftop At QT Singapore: Pool & Bar For Indulgent Cocktails

QT Hotels & Resorts proudly announces its signature dining experiences that will be unveiled when the hotel opens its doors this September. At the helm of the design-led hotel’s dining is award-winning chef and restaurateur, Chef Sean Connolly, who serves as QT Singapore’s Creative Director of Food & Beverage. Together, QT and Sean deliver multi-award-winning experiences for Gowings at QT Sydney and Esther at QT Auckland.

Within the historic building (formally Hotel Telegraph), QT Singapore will boast two key venues – a brand-new bar and grill, Cygnet, bringing a buzzing Manhattan steakhouse vibe to the shores of the Lion City, and the iconic Rooftop at QT – completely transforming the rooftop into the must-visit pool and bar for indulgent cocktails, taking guests from daytime relaxation to lively evening celebrations.

Chef Sean Connolly, Creative Director of Food & Beverage says “QT Hotels have consistently redefined hotel food and beverage experiences and I’m excited to introduce to Singapore – a haven for food enthusiasts – an approachable bar and grill experience in the form of Cygnet. My cooking philosophy starts with sourcing the best ingredients from around the world, cooking with French influence, bringing authenticity to the table, and most of all, having some fun. Cygnet and Rooftop by QT promise to enhance the already vibrant local food and beverage scene, and perfectly complement the eclectic ambience that awaits guests at QT Singapore.” 

Cygnet: A QT Singapore Signature

Cygnet transforms from a vibrant morning spot to an elegant evening venue, ensuring a unique atmosphere at any time. The expert service team, including hosts outfitted by Singapore’s Studio HHFZ, and QT’s curated music, enhance the warm ambiance. Sean’s menu focuses on ingredient integrity and origin, allowing guests to enjoy top-quality proteins and produce with rich flavours. The Steak Library offers premium steaks like Tajima Japanese Wagyu Rump and Australian Grass Fed Riverine Rib Eye, alongside Chef Sean’s signature Duck Fat Roast Potatoes.

The beverage experiences are equally dynamic. The cocktail menu is inspired by New York’s energy, with tableside service evoking a sense of theatrical elegance. The extensive wine list includes over 30 wines by the glass from top regions, ensuring a perfect pairing for every dish.

Cygnet will also feature two private dining rooms for hand-crafted dining experiences, tailored to any occasion.

Rooftop at QT: Sky High in Singapore

Rooftop at QT, renowned in Australia and New Zealand, invites Singapore to a vibrant skyline destination with refreshing cocktails, an extensive beverage list, and an electric, open-air atmosphere. Guests of the hotel can enjoy tropical spirits, take a dip in the pool or feast with a Taqueria experience. Whether for relaxing with friends, after-work drinks, or private events, Rooftop at QT will be on the menu for every visit.

Cygnet and Rooftop at QT are poised to make their official debut at 35 Robinson Road this September. The property, owned by Sunray Singapore, is currently undergoing a complete transformation to QT Singapore (previously Hotel Telegraph) to bring QT’s ‘unexpected and unrequested’ signature service to Southeast Asia.

Charles Tan of Sunray Singapore, hotel owner says, “We are counting down to the opening of Cygnet and Rooftop at QT which we know will become institutional dining hotspots for both Singapore locals and hotel guests. Singapore has a rich and diverse food scene, and these venues will bring a new flavour to our shores.”

QT Singapore’s dining experiences are available from 6 September 2024. Bookings will be open from 7 August 2024 on qtsingapore.com.
