Tisettanta Lounge is located within the recently opened boutique hotel- Hotel Fort Canning- set in the lush hillside gardens of Fort Canning. The former British military Far East Command HQ is a listed heritage building, and one wing of the building was re-opened in late 2010 as the Hotel Fort Canning.
Tisettanta Lounge is an interesting combination of the showroom for the Italian designer furniture brand “Tisettanta” , and the bar and lounge environment of a boutique hotel. The Tisettanta Lounge bar is run by the owners of the adjacent dining establishment – “Gattapardo”– a contemporary Italian Grill and Pizzabar.
In daytime, the lounge and bar occupy a bright, open space, with some striking (and comfortable) pieces of designer Italian furniture for the guests to luxuriate in whilst enjoying the offerings of the bar. In the evening the lighting effect is more subdued and is accented by the Italian lighting designer brand “Oluce “.
The drinks, and cocktails in particular, are inspired by the flavours and lifestyle of Italy. Italian wines- both by the bottle and the glass are featured, as well as exotic cocktails such as the “Espresso Martini” – a combination of vodka, Kalhua, Baileys and cucumber peel; and the “Sunflower Martini”– with ingredients of vodka, fresh pineapple and coarsely ground black pepper. Regular premium spirits are available, and imported draft beer is on tap. True to its Italian heritage- Tisettanto also serves excellent espresso coffee.
Gourmet Italian bar snacks are served from the adjacent kitchen of Gattapardo– highlights include dishes such as “panelle”, “polipe e patate” and “cebiche del giorno”.
Varying genres of music are played at downtempo levels throughout the day, making Tisettanta the perfect place for sophisticated libations – all day- and into the evenings.
