METT Singapore Review: Inside the Fort Canning Heritage Hotel

The 84 rooms and suites at METT Singapore range from 35 sq m Deluxe Rooms up to the 160 sq m Fort Canning Suite, and every layout leans on the same idea: high ceilings, soft tones, and either park canopy or skyline views through floor-to-ceiling windows. 

Every room also comes with a custom-stocked Maxi Bar featuring premium spirits, local artisanal drinks, and in-room mixology kits, which is a nice touch if you don't feel like heading down to the bar every time.

Our pick to review: the Premier Junior Suite (48 sq m). It's a residential-style layout with a genuinely separate lounge area, sofa bed, entertainment setup, and its own light, which makes it feel less like a hotel room and more like a small apartment. The bedroom centers on a king bed with goose-down bedding, and the bathroom is the standout: full marble, a walk-in rainfall shower, and a deep soaking tub.

Canning Bar & Lounge does double duty, it is a quiet breakfast spot by morning, and a cocktail lounge by night. Whether you are looking for an unhurried morning meal overlooking natural greenery or a sophisticated breakfast spot in central Singapore, the menu balances western comfort with regional Asian flavours:

• Canning Breakfast Bar: A generous buffet spread featuring house-made pastries, local cheeses, tropical fruits, cold-pressed juices, and wellness-focused selections.
• Western Breakfast Classics: Indulge in Farmhouse Eggs Your Way, the rich Omelette Vacche Rosse served cacio & pepe style, or lemon-scented Amalfi Souffle Pancakes paired with artisanal baked breads and fresh pastries.
• Asian-Inspired Specialties: Savor localised creations like Century Egg Congee or Our Laksa, a luxury take on a local icon featuring handcrafted tagliolini piemontesi noodles, fresh blue prawns, and tofu puffs submerged in a rich coconut broth.

As day turns to dusk, Canning Bar & Lounge transitions into an inventive cocktail destination celebrating local history, spice routes, and contemporary mixology. Beyond daily drinks and dining, Canning Bar & Lounge serves as a central social hub offering revolving programming, including seasonal Afternoon Tea, energetic Social Hours, themed Ladies' Nights, and international Guest Bartender Shifts.

• The 1822 ($26): Grey Goose Vodka, Amaro Montenegro, Torched Ginger, Poire Williams, Calamansi, Lime, Nutmeg Tincture. Inspired by Sir Stamford Raffles establishing Singapore’s first Botanical Garden on Fort Canning Hill in 1822, this crisp, aromatic drink pays tribute to the island’s historic spice trade.
• Trading Nights ($28): Orientalist Rum, Disaronno Amaretto, Espresso, Rich Simple, Egg Custard Foam, Dark Chocolate Shavings. A velvety, decadent twist on the Espresso Martini that honors the night-market traders and sailors who once bartered rum, coffee, and sugar along Singapore's shores.

Lauded internationally with prestigious accolades such as the Due Forchette by Gambero Rosso, L’Amo Bistrò del Mare brings authentic coastal Mediterranean flavors from Dubai to Singapore under the expert direction of Chef Daniele.

Whether you are looking for romantic dining in Singapore or an unforgettable fine-dining pasta experience, these standout dishes are essential orders:

Standouts from our visit:

• Vitello Tonnato ($32) — a classic done properly, veal against a velvety tuna-caper sauce.
• Tagliolini Lime & Caviale ($76) — handmade pasta in a lime-butter emulsion, finished with caviar. This is the dish people will ask you about afterward.
• Tagliata di Wagyu alla Griglia ($98) — grilled Wagyu striploin, potato millefeuille, charred broccoletti.
• Ti...Amo...Su ($19) — a tableside tiramisu, which sounds like a gimmick until it arrives.

If you're choosing one meal to book in advance, make it dinner here.
