Singapore – Luxury hotel Fairmont Singapore has partnered with Razer, the global lifestyle brand for gamers, to launch its first gamer-centric suites, creating a premier experience that will appeal to all gamers from amateurs to pros.

The new offering transforms three luxury suites into true gaming havens decked out with Razer’s peripherals, and paired with hospitality touches and amenities, letting guests engage in a range of immersive game genres, as well as explore a host of pampering lifestyle treats within the surrounds of the hotel.

For the Razer Gamer and Streamer Suite, the gaming den is a LAN experience with widescreen monitors and luminescent green LED light strips that will let guests feel like an esports pro about to enter their first-ever tournament. It is fitted with Razer peripherals and hardware, allowing ten players to come together IRL to finesse their games or pit their skills against one another.

Moreover, streamers can take over the streaming booth where they can choose to display graphics on the wall-mounted TVs, or for gaming communities to watch on Twitch while they narrate and commentate on the streams. The booth will be armed with Razer’s latest broadcaster line-up for an optimised streaming experience. 

Meanwhile, in the Razer Console Lounge, gamers can enjoy into the plush sofa and bean bags, jazzed up with the latest Xbox and PlayStation 5 consoles, along with Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma controllers. It also consists of dining and mini bar menus, from a selection of pizzas, burgers, charcuterie, and cheese, as well as assorted snacks and drinks that will be served right to any of the suites to enjoy. Accommodating up to six players, the suite is also perfect for intimate, casual gaming sessions amongst friends and families.

For the Razer Mercury Suite, the room is illuminated with fun, customisable colour-changing light panels that add flair to the 3v3 gaming set-up. This suite is a gamer and streamer’s paradise fitted with the latest Razer technology.

Fairmont Singapore’s luxury gaming suites are available to book now, and will open to the public on 24 May 2022 and will be available until April 2023. Play times are from 9:00 am to 11:00 pm SGT daily.
