Lodging in Singapore is getting crazy expensive despite the rise of hoteliers there. This trip, I get to stay at Shangri-la Hotel for 4 nights… not the kind of contem boutique hotels I’d normally go for but it was luxurious alright. The hotel is tucked behind shopping paradise Orchard Road (about 10 minutes walk) and covered in lushes of greens. Superb location I’d say.
Their swimming pool is massive. Sunbathing beds are usually covered in shades thus provides a cooling effect even on a hot day. I took dips at the jacuzzi, swam laps, read a book and in between I still managed to squeeze in a siesta.
Exactly what I need, some “me-time” to recharge all the frazzled neurons in my body and temporarily forget about the worries at home. Weather was perfect in Singapore.
Second day, I went to the gym for a workout. Very well-equipped facilities.
In the afternoon, I took a stroll down to Orchard Road for some shopping haven.
The hotel also provides free high speed broadband internet service in the room and the standard amenities. I also like that they make up the room twice a day and constantly replenish fruits and bottles of drinking water.
Overall, it’s a well maintained luxury hotel at a superb location with its rate starting from SGD450/ night. Personally, I think it’s a little over pampering if your holiday agenda is going to involve lots of shopping. I would probably go somewhere cheaper next time.
Nevertheless, it was a very good rejuvenation getaway trip for me.
