The Gastronomy

Most people aren't surprised to realise that Solaire celebrates culture in many ways. Much like how their design is inspired by elements of the Western and South-Eastern parts of the world, Solaire's unique gastronomy also offers guests a chance to taste the world. The Red Lantern restaurant offers delightful food from many regions of China, from Yunnan to Hangzhou to Sichuan, and Chengdu. Meanwhile, Yakumi places Japanese authenticity at the front and centre of their menu, using ingredients that have been flown in directly from Tokyo's Toyosu market. 

Finestra, Solaire's Italian restaurant, offers a vast roster of delightful wines and perfectly marbled steaks. Meanwhile, Waterside offers adventurous eaters the exotic tastes that come with Latin gastronomy. If you'd like more options, then look no further than at Fresh, where the world comes to you at your fingertips—literally—with endless stations of food that is inspired by various parts of the world.

The Shoppes

The Shoppes at Solaire is perhaps one of the most exciting parts of any guest's experience. From Kenzo to Louis Vuitton to Dior and Fendi, there is an endless list of luxury retail stores to choose from. Shop the latest designs and the trendiest pieces flown straight from the Maison themselves at Solaire. 

The Service

Solaire's 5-Star Award wouldn't have come to fruition if not for the world-class service provided to all guests—be it those who are checked-in, those who want to dine-in, those who want to shop, have fun, or simply celebrate an occasion. As the Forbes Travel Guide rates not just the property’s facilities, but also the quality of service provided, it's obvious that Solaire doesn't take their service lightly. "Our team members have worked diligently to continue providing the genuine and excellent service we’ve come to be known for, no matter the circumstances. This award is a testament to our commitment and dedication to provide only exceptional experiences that are truly Solaire,” says David Batchelor, Solaire’s Senior Vice President for Resort Operations. From the brilliant culinary team who create the restaurants' delicious offerings to the kind staff members who dedicate their time to attend to all guest needs, Solaire’s distinct brand of hospitality is the finishing touch to a true 5-Star experience.
