Shangri-La Singapore is one of the city's best-known luxury hotels, set in about fifteen acres of tropical gardens on Orange Grove Road, a short distance from the shopping of Orchard Road. The hotel is arranged in three wings, the Tower Wing, the Garden Wing and the Valley Wing, each with a different character: the Tower Wing rooms are modern and elegant, the Garden Wing looks onto the grounds, and the Valley Wing has a quieter, resort-like feel. The gardens are a defining feature, with lawns, mature trees and quiet paths that make it feel like a retreat in the middle of a busy city. A large outdoor pool, a spa and several restaurants, including a Cantonese restaurant and a grill, round out the facilities, so it is easy to spend a relaxed day without leaving the property. Families like the space, the garden and the pool, and couples like the calm.
The hotel appeals to travellers who want to be close to Orchard Road but away from its noise. Its garden setting makes it feel more like a resort than a city hotel, and its scale means a choice of restaurants and room types. It has long hosted business visitors and officials, and the service is polished and professional.
Choose the wing that suits you. The Garden Wing is a favourite for families and for those who want greenery from the window; the Tower Wing suits business travellers who want a modern room and a short lift ride; the Valley Wing offers the most resort-like atmosphere. Check what the rate includes, since breakfast, club access and cancellation terms vary by room type and date. Ask about room views when you book, as the grounds are the attraction.
