Best Luxury Hotels in Orchard, Singapore

One of the top luxury hotels in the Orchard Road shopping area, the 255-room Four Seasons Hotel Singapore is a stately five-pearl property popular with both business travelers and families on shopping trips. It has a walkway connecting to the Hilton Singapore, a convenient perk that makes for easy access to Orchard Road, without the hassle (and noise) of being right on it. Elegant rooms are particularly large and have huge marble bathrooms with soaking tubs and separate walk-in showers. There are two outdoor pools -- including a lap pool and a separate family pool -- complete with lots of lounge chairs and great skyline views. The property also has four tennis courts, a spa, and a wide variety of meeting spaces. There are two on-site restaurants -- serving wood-fired steaks and Cantonese cuisine -- plus an attractive bar with an outdoor terrace. Rooms at the nearby St. Regis deliver a little more wow factor, but the Four Seasons arguably gets a slight edge when it comes to service. 

This 393-room Marriott is an upscale business hotel with top-notch amenities: A fitness center, a spa, five dining options, and a gorgeous pool. The location on Orchard Road, an iconic street lined by shops, is another upside. Rooms are modern and high-design: Dark wood accents and shades of blue, grey, and gold in the carpeting and furniture give them a sophisticated look. Tech features include flat-screen TVs inset in the walls, as well as iPod docks, but there's a fee for Wi-Fi. This hotel is a solid, luxurious option for travelers of all types -- families, couples, business travelers -- but the inland location means there are no water views.

The 747-room Shangri-La Hotel Singapore is a luxury chain hotel with spacious rooms spread across three separate wings. A variety of restaurants and bars, including a well-reviewed buffet and lounge with impressive city views, makes this hotel a favorite in Singapore. The five-pearl property has beautiful landscaping in its lush interior garden and outdoors with a pool surrounded by palm trees. There are a spa, fitness center, and four tennis courts on-site. Rooms are spacious and elegant with big windows and impressive marble bathrooms. On 15 acres of property, the hotel is a bit far from the nearest subway, but offers an exclusive location near the upscale Orchard Road. Wi-Fi and parking are both free. Those who would prefer a luxury hotel with free parking in the Marina Bay area may want to consider Conrad Centennial Singapore.

Situated between the bucolic Botanic Gardens and Orchard Road's shopping bonanza, the Regent Singapore provides a luxurious atmosphere in a discreet location. The trade-off is that it's not as close to either destination as some of its competitors, but this luxury hotel has its own attractions including a full spa, several popular restaurants, and an expansive Sunday cocktail brunch. The 440 rooms have elegant Asian accents and well-stocked minibars, though the traditional decor may strike some as too old-fashioned. Overall, the Regent Singapore is not quite as posh as the nearby Four Seasons, St. Regis, or Shangri-La -- but prices tend to reflect that.  

The St. Regis Singapore is one of the city's most luxurious hotels. Rooms are large -- even entry-level Executive Deluxe units -- and feature great city views along with nice extras like pillow menus and free-to-use Handy phones. The huge marble bathrooms have standalone soaking tubs and premium spa-ready bath products. Additional hotel features include an outdoor pool, a luxurious spa, and round-the-clock butler service. There are numerous dining options here as well, including Cantonese and Italian fare. However, the hotel's location isn't the best, as the Orchard Metro station is a 10-minute-walk away -- less-than-ideal by Singapore standards. Travelers can consider the nearby Grand Hyatt Singapore if they wish to be closer to public transportation and don't mind losing out on features like 24-hour butler service and spacious bathrooms.

The upscale Goodwood Park Hotel is a 233-room heritage hotel located just off Orchard Road, close to shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and public transportation. Rooms are modern with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and private balconies with either garden or pool views. Some rooms have Old World touches in the furnishings. The main swimming pool provides a panoramic view of the hotel, while the Mayfair Swimming Pool is a bit more secluded, surrounded by beautiful trees. There are seven different dining facilities available, ranging from casual coffee lounges to fine-dining restaurants, though breakfast costs extra. Additional features include a fitness center, spa with hair salon, and business center. The nearby Orchard Hotel Singapore is a similar option, and offers a kids' concierge and more contemporary rooms. 

While most of the hotels in the popular Orchard shopping area are upscale, the Grand Hyatt Singapore stands out with its excellent restaurants with open show kitchens. Rooms are large and contemporary, and even the Standard Rooms have convenient separate work areas. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a spa, and a great fitness center. Getting to tourist attractions is easy as there are several public transportation options nearby, but travelers who aren't on a shopping trip or attending a meeting here, might consider a different part of the city altogether, depending on their interests. Those who do want to be in the Orchard Road area, however, might want to compare rates with the Singapore Marriott Hotel or Four Seasons nearby.

The 502-room Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is a sleek, upscale property conveniently located above a mall and metro station in the heart of Orchard Road shopping. Modern guest rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and electric kettles, while Club Room guests gain access to a lovely Club Lounge with extra perks and spectacular views. The highlight here is the rooftop infinity pool that offers some of the best views in the city and is a truly stunning hotel pool for Singapore. There's also a restaurant serving local and international fare in a stylish setting, plus two bars. Despite all of its contemporary style, most rooms do feel a bit plain, and travelers seeking something with a spa might want to consider the Pan Pacific Orchard.

The 511-room Royal Plaza on Scotts is an older upscale hotel located in the heart of the action on Orchard Road, surrounded by shopping malls and dining spots. The hotel is a popular choice for the area, and while interiors look opulent on first glance, it's all a bit dated and overdone. Pleasant rooms are decorated in brown and beige, and offer free nonalcoholic minibars, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines, and work desks. The hotel has an buffet restaurant, as well as an outdoor pool and small fitness center. Eight event spaces can accommodate business and social gatherings, plus there's a business center. As an alternative, the Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore is a similarly priced option in the area with a spa, but some of its rooms are dated and plain.

The 126-suite Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard Singapore is a luxury property with long-stay guests in mind that's right in the middle of Orchard Road shopping, dining, and entertainment. There's even a metro a one-minute walk from the hotel's front door. Rooms are stylish and spacious, and come with full kitchens and high-end touches like Bose soundsystems. A free breakfast buffet is included in the room rate and the hotel has a steak house and bar as well. The outdoor pool is a plus, as is the whirlpool tub (though the hotel calls this a spa). Pan Pacific Serviced Suites has another location on Beach Road for travelers looking to be closer to the Central Business District. 

Fresh from 2017 renovations, the 565-room Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore is a four-pearl property that stands out for its excellent amenities and location connected to Tanglin Mall. Despite the large room number, boutique styling here is hip and fresh, utilizing a mix of modern, vintage, and Singapore-themed decor. Air-conditioned rooms have international adaptors, desks, robes, and free-to-use smartphones with innovative apps. Quality features consist of an elegant spa, an outdoor pool (fairly uncommon for Singapore), multiple restaurants, a bar, and Club Lounge. Free shuttles ease walks to Orchard Road's shopping, though it's nearby, plus there are free Wi-Fi and parking on-site. For somewhere nearer downtown business districts, consider the M Hotel Singapore.

The 407-room Concorde Hotel Singapore is an upscale property located at the lower end of Orchard Road, close to shopping, restaurants, nightlife, and public transportation. Rooms are modern and classy, with flat-screen TVs, DVD players, and entertainment systems, though travertine bathrooms are a bit dated. Premier Room guests get access to the Premier Lounge and additional perks like free breakfast. Two restaurants and three bars keep guests fed, plus the hotel has an impressive gym and large outdoor pool (but no spa). With 11 meeting rooms, the hotel is popular for gatherings of all sorts. The nearby Orchard Hotel Singapore is a similar option, but doesn't offer free Wi-Fi in most rooms like the Concorde.

This upscale 308-room hotel is situated in the heart of Singapore’s famed Orchard Road shopping belt, close to bars, restaurants, and multiple public transport routes. It has a modern and trendy vibe throughout, particularly at the well-reviewed restaurant and bar. Rooms are similarly stylish, plus they come with minibars, flat-screen TVs, and free use of a smartphone. However, some rooms have small bathrooms and views blocked by the herringbone-patterned windows. Though the hotel lacks a spa, it has a black-tiled pool and a small gym. Overall, it's a solid option for business and leisure travelers, but the nearby Regent has a full spa and several on-site dining options for only slightly higher rates. 

The upscale Mandarin Orchard Singapore is a massive 1,077-room hotel with a prime location next to the large Mandarin Gallery shopping mall. Spacious rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and free Wi-Fi, while Suites also have living rooms, however, furnishings range from dated and uninspiring to sleek and contemporary. Three on-site restaurants include a buffet eatery and fine-dining Szechwan spot, plus there's a cafe and sleek bar with outdoor seating. Other facilities include a medium-sized pool and fitness center, but there's no spa. Club Room guests have access to a top-floor lounge with stunning views of the city. For a true luxury property, consider the St. Regis, which has more opulent rooms, a spa, and wider variety of restaurants.

The 656-room Orchard Hotel Singapore is an upscale property next to the infamous Orchard Towers and near Orchard Road's major shopping areas. Rooms are all modern and elegant, and include Signature Club rooms that have a chic, almost boutique vibe, with a blend of contemporary and traditional Asian design. The main on-site restaurant is highly regarded for its Cantonese cuisine, and there are two more restaurants and two bars on-site. The expansive events space is popular for business gatherings, weddings, and social events. A nearby alternative is the Pan Pacific Orchard, which has a spa and free Wi-Fi throughout.
