Equinox Complex

Equinox Complex

The Equinox Complex is a range of eateries located in the Swissôtel The Stamford, the tallest hotel in Singapore.

History and etymology

Conceptualized and developed by Raffles International, the Equinox Complex was opened in November 2001 after Raffles International took over management of the hotel, and replaced the "Compass Rose" restaurant.

The name "Equinox" refers to the time when day and night are of equal lengths, a phenomenon which occurs on two days in a year. The theme at the Equinox Complex is to attain perfection and harmony throughout the year.

Facilities

The complex occupies four floors from levels 69 to 72 with about 3,700 square metres of space for five restaurants and bars, with private dining rooms. All five outlets can take in over 900 diners at any one time.

Located on the first floor entrance to the complex is the "Introbar", which serves an extensive aperitif selection, including the latest martinis, beers, wines and the house specialty — cocktails. The bar is also known as the "Bartenders' Bar" as all cocktails are individually mixed at the guests' tables by a team of bartenders. The "Introbar" serves as a prelude to the main outlets above. Diners can then proceed to dedicated elevators which bring them direct to the top three levels. Located on the 69th floor are four rooms for private dining, offering space for up to 400 for cocktail receptions.

The "Equinox Restaurant", serving both Asian and Western cuisines, and "Jaan", serving modern French cuisine, are located on the 70th floor. Diners at the Equinox Restaurant are treated with full length glass windows offering a view of Singapore's central business district. Also on the same floor is a club-like lounge called "City Space". A second bar, the "New Asia Bar", is spread over the 71st and 72nd floors.
