World’s first Champagne drive-thru to open in Singapore

On world Champagne Day this Friday, October 25, 5-star hotel InterContinental Singapore will launch the world’s first ‘Champagne Express Lane’ – a unique hotel drive-thru with a luxurious twist.

Visitors to the hotel’s Champagne Express Lane can choose from bubbles and fizz, with only world class Champagne and caviar on the menu, from late-October until the end of the year.

“True luxury can come in any form, and we live up to our promise to offer visitors unique and unexpected moments that spark joy in every way,” says Andreas Kraemer, General Manager at InterContinental Singapore.

“We recently launched Singapore’s largest Champagne collection, making the hotel the true home of Champagne in Singapore.

“This Champagne Day, what better way to celebrate than creating something entirely new to wow lovers of luxury.”

Whether you choose to pull up and select a bottle from the carefully curated menu, or opt to order online for fast fizz pick-up, simply sit back and enjoy the personalised service as the hotel’s on-hand butler delivers it direct to your window – complete with a bespoke take-away box.

Some of InterContinental Singapore’s collection…

  • Dom Perignon – The most expensive option, including an eye-watering $3,200 magnum bottle of Dom Pérignon “P2” (1500ml) Brut available for purchase.
  • Charles Heidsieck – World renowned champagne producer and known for its sophistication and excellence, this champagne is also served as the Business Class pour on Singapore Airlines.
  • Dhondt Grellet – Located in the heart of the prestigious Côte des Blanc with 40-year-old vineyards classified mainly Grand Cru and Premier Cru.
  • Jérôme Blin – A fourth-generation winemaker from a family rooted in Champagne since the 17th century, revitalised their 6-hectare estate in Vincelles with biodynamic farming, creating delicately oxidised, low-dosage champagnes.
  • Frédéric Savart – Located in the Montagne de Reims, this house of champagne happens to be a true pearl of prestige and high quality, where the conduct of the vineyard and winemaking is worthy of the work of a goldsmith.
  • Chartogne-Taillet – Stunning single-vineyard collectibles from the young star of Montagne-de-Reims.

For those looking to extend their Champagne experience, as an Official Caveau by The Confrérie du Sabre d’Or, guests visiting the hotel can witness the art of sabrage.

Every Thursday evening at The Lobby Lounge, the resident Maître-Sabreur will expertly open Champagne bottles with a ceremonial sabre.
