When planning a trip to Singapore, whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local looking for a relaxing escape, the choice of a hotel can make all the difference. For a truly memorable and positive experience, we believe the Orchard Hotel Singapore stands out as an exceptional choice. Our recent stay was a testament to its blend of luxury, convenience, and genuine hospitality, making it a perfect base for exploring the city’s vibrant urban landscape. We tried the Dive Into Romantic Indulgence – 2D1N Couple Staycation package for some much-needed rest and relaxation.
Location of Orchard Hotel Singapore
One of the hotel’s most significant advantages is its prime location. Situated on the legendary Orchard Road, Singapore’s premier shopping and entertainment street, the hotel puts you right in the middle of all the action. It’s a short, pleasant walk to the Orchard MRT station, providing seamless access to the rest of the island’s public transportation network. This connectivity is a huge plus for both tourists wanting to hit all the major sights and locals planning a fun-filled weekend staycation. We found the proximity to public transport incredibly convenient, allowing us to travel around the city with ease without needing a car.
Rooms at Orchard Hotel Singapore
The moment we stepped into our Signature room (thoughtfully designed by world-renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon), we were greeted with a sense of comfort and style. The rooms at Orchard Hotel are thoughtfully designed, with a contemporary aesthetic that feels both luxurious and welcoming. We were particularly impressed with the space; the rooms are generously sized for a couple, providing ample space to relax and unwind after a day of sightseeing or shopping. The amenities are top-notch, with a comfortable bed, a clean and well-appointed bathroom with a rain shower, and all the modern conveniences you would expect from a hotel of this calibre. Everything from the mood lighting to the plush bedding contributed to a restful and pleasant stay. One of the environmentally conscious items in the room was the water dispenser that filters and conserves water. We stayed on the 18th floor, which has its own self-managed lounge/library with basic coffees and snacks to keep you busy if you need a quiet place to stay.
Food at Orchard Hotel Singapore
Our culinary experience at Orchard Hotel was truly a highlight. The hotel boasts a variety of excellent dining options that cater to different tastes. We were particularly impressed with The Orchard Cafe, which offered a sumptuous buffet spread for both breakfast and dinner. The variety of local and international dishes was astounding, from freshly made seafood to comforting Asian classics. This is the central hub of the hotel and it gets very busy during peak breakfast times (as it should). For a more sophisticated dining experience, the Bar Intemezzo had us for the Afternoon Tea experience (SG60 High Tea for 2) with a 15-course high tea, featuring a variety of sweet and savoury delights, including Lemongrass-Infused Boston Lobster Roll, Black Pepper Crabmeat Tart with Cucumber Pickles, and Abalone Otak wrapped in Banana Leaf. On top of this, we enjoyed a 3-course intimate dinner, thoughtfully paired with a live band performance, creating the perfect ambiance for your romantic escape.
Facilities at Orchard Hotel Singapore
Beyond the rooms and restaurants, the hotel’s facilities were designed to enhance every aspect of our stay. The outdoor swimming pool, a serene oasis amidst the city’s hustle and bustle, was our favourite spot to unwind. Surrounded by lush greenery, it’s the perfect place for a refreshing dip or simply lounging with a good book. The hotel also features a fully-equipped fitness center for those who want to stay active, and a variety of meeting and event venues, including one of Singapore’s largest pillar-free ballrooms, which speaks to its reputation as a hub for both business and leisure. There are plenty of water dispensers and couches around so you can relax at your own pace.
What is Around Orchard Hotel Singapore

For those interested in something beyond shopping, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a short drive away, providing a peaceful escape into nature.
