Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore

Scene

Luxury chain hotel with lush indoor gardens

The Shangri-La Hotel Singapore is a beautiful, luxury hotel where guests come for a romantic weekend or family fun; business travelers are also drawn to the hotel for its amenities, even if the location is far from most offices. The Shangri-La's location removed from the hubbub allows it to have expansive, lush grounds -- an impressive 15 acres that include a curvy pool with fountain features and pretty landscaping with tall palms. The calm, resort-like feel even extends indoors: The Garden Wing features a tropical interior garden with stone steps, palm trees, exotic plants, waterfalls, and a koi pond. Rooms are divided into three distinct wings. The Tower Wing first opened in 1971 and features a lobby with soaring ceilings and a bar serving snacks and cocktails. Most of the restaurants are also located in the Tower Wing including Shang Palace, an upscale restaurant serving Chinese cuisine, and Nadaman serving sushi and sashimi. Guests staying in the Valley Wing enter through a private lobby and are invited to an exclusive free breakfast. 

Shangri-La is known for its service, and most will find that Singapore location more than lives up to brand expectations. This is the type of place where the details make all the difference, from the signature Shangri-La scent wafting through the interiors to the cool towels handed out poolside to the welcome pot of hot tea that may await guests in their rooms.
