These scents are subtly diffused throughout the room and elegant medallions suspended on the bed frame during turndown service, transforming each suite into a sensory sanctuary.
“Our collaboration with The Barracks Hotel during the property’s pre-opening phase was invaluable. Immersing our senses in the hotel’s rich heritage and identity, we crafted the award-winning tea 1904, recognised by the U.K. Great Taste Awards, as well as its afternoon tea tailoring programme, tea-based cocktail menu, and its latest addition – signature tea based turndown scent medallions.” says Pryce Tea’s founder, Lim Tian Peng.
