    I enjoyed of staying at this strategic location at the end of Orchard Road and yet hidden in a lush green belt area with its own waterfall and gardens.

    The gym is well equiped with sauna and jacuzzi and you see a lot of greenery. The service is excellent and many fine restaurants to choose from.

    Only thing is that it is not close to a MRT statio. So use the taxi or take a 10 minutes stroll to Orchard Road.

  • The room was comfortable with a small veranda on which lovely, fragrant flowers were growing. Fresh fruit was delivered each afternoon with complimentary water (do not drink tap water anywhere in Asia) and a pot of hot tea.

    There was a cafeteria-style restaurant where we had breakfast vouchers each day. It was unclear which areas we were allowed to choose from; my husband took something from each station and no one reprimanded him. The espresso drinks were different from our expectations, but not bad. There is also a separate deli with cases full of pastries that are half-price at closing.

    At the top of the tower-side of the hotel, we ate at Blu. Normally we avoid any American-style food when travelling but this came highly recommended and with a coupon in the room :) The food was delicious, not too outrageously expensive (around $100US for dinner & drinks), but the view was worth it. I think we could see the entire island from there, and the sky was gorgeously colored at sunset. We were startled & amazed to see a gecko clinging to the wall outside our window. Service was pleasant and prompt.

    This was our first stop on our trip and I didn't realize doing your own laundry in Asia is considered ridiculous. I found a number for a "Laundry Room" in the directory and received directions for how to get there. I loaded my bag, grabbed my coins & book, and headed out. At the lobby, the concierge very graciously explained the "Laundry Room" is only for apartment guests (different part of the hotel) and I would need to leave my items for their service. I actually like doing laundry, wanted to read while I waited for my husband, and was horrified at the prices charged by the hotel ($200 for our couple outfits; I washed undergarments in our bathroom - there is a retractable clothesline).

    The front desk was extremely helpful - changing money, selling stamps, writing directions, and arranging for cabs. Taxis are usually waiting outside and the queue is very organized.

    The garden side of the hotel is more expensive (we found out later) and although gorgeous, not entirely worth the extra price. It is a lush courtyard filled with tropical plants (most labeled) and koi ponds - the downside is the loud birds who attracted to this area at 5am...We were awakened everyday by their not-pleasant chirping.

    There is a large pool and average-sized spa by the gardens, but also just outside the glass-walled restaurant.

    Live jazz was playing most nights in the main lobby and complimentary small desserts & tea were available.

  • Close to Orchard Street, and the shopping district.
    It's not the best 5 star hotel I've ever stayed at, but came part of a package from Emirates Airlines.
    All the usual facilities for businessmen are available.
    The exchange rate at the hotel was not very good.
    The food was good, especially the burgers.

    It has a very nice swimming hotel.

    Shangri-La Singapore: The best hotel in Singapore?    Check Rates

  • I booked this hotel for a 2 night stopover on the way back from Sydney earlier this year. We arrived late in the evening tired after the flight. The welcome could not have been warmer. The hotel is very luxurious and the attention to detail is almost overwhelming.
    Our room rate included breakfast as well as free champagne, cocktails etc throughout our stay. So although the room rate initially appears quite steep the final bill does not have pages of extras.
    The hotel is very handy for the shops of Orchard Road.

    The hotel pool is beautiful and set in lush gardens. During the day staff bring round complimentary cold face cloths, fruit and iced water.
    If you choose you can get a foot massage by the pool - very relaxing and quite good value.
    The "Line" restaurant is the more casual of the dining options and is open 24 hours. The buffet in the evening has to be seen to be believed with a vast array of freshly prepared dishes from around the world.
    The service at every level is amazing. The staff appear to anticipate what you are going to ask for. But they are never intrusive. It is a very relaxing experience.

  • I had to travel to Singapore quite a bit for business. The Shangri la was the perfect hotel to have to stay in during my travels. It is very comfortable, clean, and has all the facilities I need (a good fitness center is a must for me).

    the pool and fitness center is nice, and I enjoy the afternoon tea delivery to the room.

  • We stayed in the Palm section which was beautiful and could walk to Orchard Avenue. We had a beautiful view of the gardens and pool, and the bathtub even had a television. THere was Japanese tea service on the en-suite table when we arrived, with a large selection of coffees and teas that we could naje ub-room. It had huge closets and service was impeccable. When entering the Palm Suite we were greeted with free champagne and snacks, a smile and a comfortable seat. This was available all day long.

    If had to search for flaws which I found only in their eggs benedict which were overcooked the first time, and the second time, the egg yellow was missing.

    I was not so happy with the in-room body massage service which could have been better. The HongKong Shangri-La massage is much better. Everything else was outstanding and we are happy to pay the price for this level of service. Well done.

    Impeccable service.
    Beautiful hostesses and hospitable hosts.
