- A tour of the Botanic Gardens
With over 150 years of history, the Singapore Botanic Gardens hold a special place in the history of the city and region. Experience nature’s beauty in this 82-hectare oasis, which was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015, open from 5AM until midnight daily, giving you all the time you need to explore all it has to offer. The Corner House offers a unique dining experience, where the life and work of Edred John Henry Corner is the animating force inspiring every aspect of the restaurant’s concept. Corner was a botanist and mycologist who was the assistant director of the gardens for two decades in the early 1900s, including during the surrender of Singapore to Japan during World War II.
He was appointed by the Japanese Emperor, who was an orchid enthusiast, to protect and preserve the Botanical Gardens’ herbarium collection and library contents during the time of occupation. The history makes the location for this restaurant quite remarkable. This exquisite venue is perfect for sharing a special meal with friends and family and is open for lunch and dinner daily as well as for private events. Do not forget to take a tour of the famous National Orchid Garden, a one-of-a-kind collection of thousands of these unique flower species.
