Team bonding, meetings and celebrations: Reset and refocus in this nature-inspired MICE destination

The morning begins not in a typical meeting room, but under the canopy of a soaring, sunlit and lush indoor garden. Before the first agenda item, the team eases into the day with a short, trainer-led stretch. Lunch features bento boxes prepared with herbs and greens harvested from the hotel’s rooftop urban farm.

It’s an unexpected scene for a business offsite. But beyond its iconic, award-winning biophilic architecture, Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay, Singapore offers corporate groups a strategic advantage: a restorative environment that supports clearer thinking, stronger collaboration and sustainability-aligned corporate values.

Positioned in the heart of Singapore’s central business district, the hotel serves as an eco-focused Meetings, Incentives, Conferences and Exhibitions (MICE) destination – a modern, thoughtful alternative to the typical corporate setting, with environmental mindfulness at its core. 

Inspiring spaces for every agenda

Whether you are planning a company dinner and dance, a leadership strategy meeting or a team-bonding retreat, the hotel offers a wide variety of meeting rooms and social venues to create the right energy for every occasion. 

Its two ballrooms set the stage for memorable conferences, galas and dinners. The Garden Ballroom, conveniently located on the first floor, is pillar-free and able to host up to 650 guests in a range of configurations. Meanwhile, the Atrium Ballroom on Level 5 accommodates up to 300 people and includes a private foyer perfect for pre-event cocktails with a view of the hotel’s soaring indoor garden. 

For intimate groups, the Boardroom on Level 6 creates an environment that encourages clarity and conversation, with natural daylight, polished wood accents, plush seating and built-in capabilities for web conferences.

Also on Level 6, the Palm Rooms provide bright, contemporary settings ideal for seminars and workshops, or breakout discussions for large conferences, while the Clover Rooms on Level 1 – located right next to the Garden Ballroom – are ideal for meetings and conferences, of up to 120 guests each.

Beyond conference venues, colleagues and business acquaintances can meet and mingle in a range of inviting social spaces.

Portman’s Bar on Level 4 sets the scene for relaxed conversations over drinks, while Skyline on Level 5 offers a welcome breather over light refreshment, with its sprawling green lawn, swimming pool and sweeping views of the Marina Bay skyline. 

For company dinners, Peppermint restaurant on Level 4 can be fully booked for private events, with two intimate glasshouses that seat 10 to 16 persons each. Its kitchen and the buffet stations are halal-certified, ensuring an inclusive dining experience that feels both warm and memorable.

Recharging the natural way 

With biophilic design, sustainably sourced menus and eco-wellness activities that can be seamlessly integrated into event programmes, Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay is also well-suited for wellness-driven retreats centred on team bonding, rejuvenation and relaxation. 

The hotel’s “Meet Lite. Feels Right” package underscores this ethos, offering eco-conscious elements such as farm-to-table bento lunch sets featuring produce from the rooftop Urban Farm, stationery made with recycled materials, infused water in refillable carafes and sustainable snacks. 

Monkey chairs for mobile massages can also be arranged outside meeting rooms for restorative wellness breaks, with your employees pampered by the in-house spa team at St. Gregory. 

For longer retreats, additional health and fitness activities can be incorporated. These include trainer-led stretching sessions conducted by the hotel’s resident fitness coach or virtual spin classes in the dedicated spin studio on Level 5 to power your team. 

One of the most engaging highlights is the hotel’s Sustainability Tour, which brings guests through Level 1 up to the rooftop solar panels, with a stop at the Urban Farm on Level 4, home to over 60 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs and edible flowers. 

This abundance of fresh produce allows the hotel to offer creative menus in its restaurant and bar, with delicious salads and fresh dishes. For instance, resident mixologists at Portman’s Bar embrace the “farm-to-bar” concept by incorporating fresh herbs and edible plants into their cocktails.

For team bonding, your team can even learn to mix an eco-inspired tipple during mixologist-led cocktail-crafting sessions using fresh ingredients and upcycled spirits. Another hands-on option is to create your own personalised aromatic sachet at the hotel’s Nature Essence Bar – one of several sustainability-themed workshops to pick from.

This ability to effortlessly blend nature and purpose sets the tone for the hotel’s approach to meetings and events, to further your company’s sustainability agenda to align with ESG goals. The hotel takes an extraordinary step in combining sustainability with personal wellness – an eco-wellness value proposition that is inspired by its setting amidst lush greenery and nature. 

Whatever corporate occasion you have in mind, Parkroyal Collection Marina Bay can help you create an energising yet calming atmosphere, reminding teams that gatherings can be both productive and restorative.
