Orchid Hotel Singapore

Orchid Hotel Singapore is a 272-room hotel in Tanjong Pagar, a district once lined with rickshaw depots and fences along the old harbour, now filled with glass towers and Michelin-starred kitchens. The hotel stands close enough to the Tanjong Pagar MRT to reach Chinatown, Orchard Road or Sentosa Island within minutes. Suites add a marble bathroom, a Nespresso machine and a cocktail kit; Studio Rooms come with a kitchenette and washer-dryer for longer stays. Downstairs, Ya Ge serves Modern Chinese food to up to a hundred and twenty guests, and a 25-metre outdoor pool sits alongside a herb garden the hotel has planted with cascading greenery. It is a compact patch of green in a dense financial quarter. Two private dining rooms handle business lunches or family dinners, seating up to twenty. Breakfast runs as a buffet of Western and Asian dishes, eggs cooked to order. From the upper floors, you can pick out the Pinnacle @ Duxton rising over the surrounding shophouses. The hotel's location puts Maxwell Food Centre, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Sri Mariamman Temple all within an easy walk.
