As soon as you arrive in the city, you’ll see why it has earned the nickname ‘A city in a garden.' With so many luxury hotels in Singapore offering their own exquisite tropical gardens, you’ll be able to enjoy the buzz of city life while enjoying your tranquil hotel haven nestled among the city’s greenery.
Singapore is a tropical city-state on an island off the Malay Peninsula, where a cross-section of Asia’s diverse cultures can be observed in the architecture, cuisines, and customs. The city’s crowning jewel is its beautiful botanical garden, the first and only tropical botanical garden on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, where you can see tens of thousands of plants, including many rare species.
The city’s distinct districts all have something different to offer, so where you stay will depend on what you’re looking for. Orchard Road is a paradise for shoppers and pulses with energy, lined with global fashion labels, exceptional dining experiences, and a wealth of cutting-edge attractions. Marina Bay is glistening and modern, where the sleek skyscrapers of the city skyline reflect in the water. And then there’s Chinatown, a real cultural melting pot where exquisite Hindu and Buddhist temples stand alongside trendy cocktail bars. Which will you choose?
