For those seeking a summer escape without leaving the city, METT Singapore offers a slower and more immersive way to experience the season. Set within the historic greenery of Fort Canning Park, the hotel presents a curated line-up of dining, wellness and social experiences designed around connection, indulgence and relaxation.
From open-air cinema evenings beneath the stars to whimsical afternoon tea moments, restorative wellness rituals and Italian-inspired cocktails, METT Singapore transforms the idea of a city retreat into a series of memorable experiences. This summer, guests are invited to step away from the everyday rhythm and discover new ways to gather, unwind and savour the season.
1. METT Cinema Nights: An Open-Air Evening Under The Stars
This August, METT Singapore introduces METT Cinema Nights, an open-air cinema experience that turns the grounds of Fort Canning into a cinematic summer gathering. Taking place on 1 August, the evening combines film, food and entertainment in a relaxed outdoor setting surrounded by lush greenery.
Beyond the movie screening, guests can enjoy a Mediterranean barbecue featuring an expansive grazing table, bruschetta bar, live grill selections and roaming desserts throughout the evening. Additionally, the experience includes a welcome drink and access to the DJ After Party at Canning Bar & Lounge, extending the night from an open-air cinema into a lively after-dark celebration.
2. Alice In The Garden City Afternoon Tea: A Wonderland-Inspired Escape
Reimagining the traditional afternoon tea ritual, Alice in the Garden City Afternoon Tea brings together the charm of Wonderland with Singapore’s familiar flavours. Set within the historic surroundings of Fort Canning Park, the experience creates a playful afternoon filled with imaginative sweet and savoury creations.
Guests can discover savoury highlights such as The Mad Hatter’s Otah Sandwich and the interactive Build-Your-Own Chilli Crab Toast. Meanwhile, the sweet selection continues the whimsical theme with creations including the Pocket Watch Macaron, Bandung Chocolate Bon Bons, Midnight chocolate mousse tart and Tea Party Shortbread. Freshly baked scones served with kaya preserve and rosella strawberry jam complete the experience.
3. The Restorative Reset: A Wellness Afternoon Of Self-Care
For those looking to recharge, The Restorative Reset offers a slower approach to weekend wellness. Created in collaboration with Madison House, Canning Bar & Lounge and Jing Botanics, the experience combines mindful movement, restorative treatments and nourishing indulgence.
The afternoon begins with a guided Sculpt Pilates session by Madison House with Lindsay Swain, followed by a Scalp Gua Sha & Brushing Workshop by Jing Botanics. Guests can then ease into an elegant tea experience at Canning Bar & Lounge, featuring nourishing ingredients and botanical beverages.
Additionally, each guest receives a complimentary gift set from Jing Botanics, including an exclusive first look at the brand’s newest launch.
4. L’Amo Bistrò del Mare: Italian Summer Cocktails By The Garden
Bringing the warmth of coastal Italy to Fort Canning, L’Amo Bistrò del Mare introduces a seasonal cocktail collection created in collaboration with Saicho Sparkling Tea. The menu captures the relaxed spirit of summer through three refreshing creations designed for leisurely afternoons and evening gatherings.
The Melone Spritz combines ripe cantaloupe with Saicho Jasmine Sparkling Tea, while Al Tramonto pairs bourbon and honey with Saicho Hojicha Sparkling Tea. Meanwhile, Costa Rosa offers a vibrant blend of gin, Italicus, pink guava and sour plum.
Served on L’Amo’s sunlit alfresco terrace, the cocktails complement the restaurant’s coastal Italian cuisine and relaxed garden-side atmosphere, creating a moment that feels transported from the Mediterranean.
5. Ladies’ Night Thursdays: Cocktails And Music After Dark
For a mid-week escape, Ladies’ Night Thursdays at Canning Bar & Lounge brings together cocktails, music and effortless social gatherings. Every Thursday from 5pm to 8pm, guests can enjoy free-flow Prosecco, Espresso Martinis and Aperol Spritz alongside a rotating line-up of DJs.
Set within the lush surroundings of Fort Canning, the evening transitions from relaxed terrace drinks into a more energetic social atmosphere. Whether for an after-work gathering or a night out with friends, the experience offers a polished pause from the usual weekday routine.
With its summer programme, METT Singapore presents more than just seasonal activities. Instead, the hotel creates a destination where dining, wellness and social experiences come together naturally. Surrounded by greenery yet close to the heart of the city, METT Singapore invites guests to slow down, reconnect and enjoy the pleasures of summer at their own pace.
