Bottom Line

The 206-room Pan Pacific Orchard is an upscale, business-style hotel located around the corner from Singapore's main shopping area. Interiors are chic and streamlined, and the hotel houses one of the city's more popular restaurants. It also has a beautiful, chlorine-free swimming pool. In-room amenities are high-end, and include free Wi-Fi, luxury toiletries, sleek work desks, and ergonomic chairs. Note that the surroundings can feel a little seedy -- it's behind the infamous "red light" Orchard Towers -- but the Pan Pacific Orchard is an outstanding choice for those with business around Orchard Road. Travelers looking for a hipper vibe could try the upscale Naumi Hotel.

Oyster Hotel Review

Pan Pacific Orchard

Scene

Smart modern hotel with dazzling interiors and chic contemporary design

Blending into the surrounding high-rise apartment blocks, the Pan Pacific Orchard occupies a smart, modern yet unremarkable, building typical of the area. Inside, though, the lobby is a dazzlingly sleek blend of shimmering marble floors, striking lights, and contemporary styling that is a cut above the norm. Formerly the Negara on Claymore, the hotel was taken over by the Pan Pacific hotel chain in 2008, which has done a fine job of maintaining a 21st-century vibe throughout the property. The lobby lounge provides a particularly chic and pleasant place to relax, while a club lounge offers a more exclusive area in which to unwind. The hotel appeals mostly to business travelers, but it also draws couples and, to a lesser extent, families.

Location

On a quiet street next to Orchard Road shopping -- and the infamous Orchard Towers

The hotel is tucked away on the relatively quiet Claymore Road situated around the corner from the Orchard Road shopping belt -- Singapore's main high-end retail enclave. The surrounding area is full of restaurants and bars, however, it's also right behind the "red light" area -- the infamous Orchard Towers. The nearest MRT station is on Orchard Road, about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and trains connect to the Central Business District in 15 minutes and Marina Bay in 20 minutes. Changi International Airport is a 20- to 30-minute drive, and the trip is about an hour on public transportation.

Rooms

Smart, fresh rooms with free Wi-Fi and bedside temperature controls

The hotel has 206 rooms, all of which are decorated in fresh neutral tones with smart contemporary furnishings and carpeted floors. In most rooms, flat-screen TVs are integrated into backlit wall panels, glass-top desks have ergonomic office-style chairs, and bedside tables have clever pull-out temperature control and alarm clock drawers. Minibars are well-stocked with free water, while Nespresso machines and tea-making facilities come standard. Fast Wi-Fi is also free of charge, and all rooms come with comfortable waffle-towel robes and slippers. Bathrooms are sleek and functional with walk-in showers and high-end toiletries -- higher-end rooms also include sunken tubs. While most rooms are fairly spacious -- especially the studios -- some of the standard level rooms are on the small side.

Features

Excellent innovative dining and chlorine-free outdoor pool

The hotel houses one of the most popular restaurants in the city -- 10 at Claymore -- which offers innovative cuisine involving unlimited tapas-style dishes, and is open for brunch, lunch, and dinner. There's also another good restaurant serving Sardinian fare, with live entertainment, as well as a lobby lounge serving high tea. The second-floor outdoor pool is filled with chlorine-free mineral water and surrounded by loungers, and poolside drink service is available. The on-site St. Gregory spa offers a range of massage and beauty treatments -- and caters to couples. It has a sauna, steam room, and whirlpool tub.
