5* Shangri-La Hotel
Description / Location
Lush tropical gardens surround this three-winged hotel. The lobby makes a grand impression with 12-meter (40-ft) carved-marble columns, six-meter (20-ft) crystal chandeliers, floor-to-ceiling windows, dark-wood panels, and a huge burgundy rug with floral motifs. Separate sitting areas have deep armchairs and glass-topped tables with table lamps shaped like lions’ heads. The hotel is popular with affluent business travelers and vacationers, as well as local celebrities.
Dining highlights include the Nadaman Japanese restaurant; the Rose Veranda, serving 100 varieties of tea; the Shang Palace, showcasing Cantonese cuisine; and the California-inspired BLU, located on the 24th floor, with panoramic city views. Fifteen acres of tropical gardens and koi ponds with waterfalls provide a serene setting for the freeform pool, spa tub, fitness center, tennis courts, and three-hole pitch-and-putt course.
The Singapore Botanic Gardens, one block away, brings a primary forest to the city center, with chirping crickets and an impressive variety of orchids.
