METT Singapore is commemorating the 100th anniversary of its heritage-listed building with “100 Years of Stories,” a month-long celebration at Fort Canning Park. The event, running throughout September, invites guests to explore the rich history and cultural significance of the site through a series of curated activities, including dining, wellness, and cultural experiences.
The building, originally constructed in 1926 as the British Far East Command Headquarters, has played a pivotal role in Singapore’s history. Today, METT Singapore honours this legacy by offering a diverse programme that includes heritage-inspired cocktails at the Canning Bar & Lounge, where guests can enjoy drinks like the nutmeg-infused 1822 and the wartime-inspired Olive III martini.
Fitness enthusiasts can participate in the “Fitness at the Fort” challenge, organised by Madison House. This wellness initiative features classes such as barre, Pilates, and HIIT, with participants standing a chance to win prizes, including a stay at METT Singapore.
Coinciding with the Fort Canning Park Heritage Festival from 5 to 13 September, the celebrations will also feature music, art, and guided tours, highlighting the park’s UNESCO World Heritage status. Complimentary activities for hotel guests include heritage tours and workshops like botanical soap-making.
Tomas Stoila, Managing Director of Sunset Hospitality Group Singapore, expressed, “100 Years of Stories is our way of celebrating the many lives this building has lived, whilst inviting guests to be part of its next chapter.” The event underscores METT Singapore’s commitment to preserving history whilst fostering a vibrant community space.
