THE CASE IN ONE MINUTE
A classic tale became
a five-star occasion.
Cinderella's Valentine launched the Adventures in Storyland themed high-tea series, bringing literary heritage into Fairmont Singapore through food, décor and guest participation.
Arthur Rackham's expressive illustrations from the British Library collection shaped an elegant visual world, while ANTI:DOTE's culinary team transformed familiar story motifs into beautifully crafted treats.

THE CREATIVE IDEA
Let guests discover Cinderella beyond the glass slipper.
The collaboration moved beyond a decorative theme. It used a specific literary edition—Cinderella by C. S. Evans, illustrated by Arthur Rackham—to give the experience a distinctive cultural and visual foundation.
The result connected literature, art and gastronomy in a format that felt both authentic to the source and natural within a luxury hotel.
