The Barracks Hotel Sentosa taps into the power of scent with its new Miller Harris partnership, turning a stay into a truly sensorial retreat
Luxury has always been in the details at The Barracks Hotel Sentosa. In celebration of its fifth anniversary this year, the charming boutique heritage hotel has introduced an enhanced turndown service featuring British perfumer Miller Harris–the first (and only) hotel in Singapore to do so. The result? A multi-sensory escape where scent pays a starring role, elevating the hotel’s signature urban respite experience.
Nestled in a restored British artillery outpost from 1904, the hotel already offers an atmosphere of tranquility and old-world charm. Now, with Miller Harris’ Tea Tonique collection gracing every suite, scents becomes the key to unlocking a deeper, more immersive retreat.
The Tea Tonique range, featuring invigorating citrus, fresh tea leaves and warm musk, now forms the foundation of the hotel’s refreshed bath amenities. Shower essentials, hand and body lotion, and even a bespoke Tea Tonique bath salt (available upon request) transform the in-room experience into spa-like indulgence.
The refined turn-down service
Luxury hospitality is all about creating rituals. The Barracks Hotel’s meticulously curated turn-down service engages multiple senses; beyond premium Miller Haris bath amenities, guests are welcomed into a space subtly perfumed with scent medallions developed in collaboration between local tea artisans Pryce Tea and Miller Harris. Right upon check-in, guests can choose between the floral-infused Graceful Camellia or calming Starlit Serenity to be diffused delicately throughout the room, reinforcing the hotel’s promise of quiet indulgence.
To round off the experience, guests are treated to a new signature cocktail: the Barracks Martini Tonique, inspired by the notes in Miller Harris’ Tea Tonique and masterfully crafted by Pryce Tea. It’s a fittingly elegant way to end one’s evening, offering a sip of heritage, craftsmanship, and modern luxury, all in one glass.
An urban sanctuary, redefined
Since its inception in 2019, The Barracks Hotel Sentosa has established itself as one of Singapore’s most exclusive heritage boutique stays. With just 40 rooms onsite, an intimate setting, and a signature equerry service offering personalised assistance, it remains a hot favourite among those looking for a private and indulgent escape. The partnership reinforces the hotel’s commitment to sensory-led luxury, one which makes for an experience that lingers in your memories long after check-out.
Looking for a reason to press pause on life? The Barracks Hotel’s scented escape is proof that sometimes, luxury is best experienced with all five senses.
