Orchard Road
Many shoppers heading to Orchard Road for everything
they can ever dream about. The street is lined with shopping malls
packed with local and international department stores, tiny boutiques,
restaurants, cafes and snack bars. Strategically placed in-between
are many international five star hotels like the Hilton, Le Meridien,
Meritus and Marriott, as well as quality local hotels’ perfect
places to retreat after a hard day pounding the shopping malls.
If you are here to shop, stay around Orchard road and save your
energy for pounding the malls. The varied architectural styles are
signing to the area’s growth over the past 20 years as the
shopping phenomenon has taken off. Istana Negara Singapura or Presidential
Palace, located next to the Meridien Hotel is the (non-shopping)
place of interest, although it is only open to the public on certain
occasions.
Walk down the Orchard, if you are looking for a drink and a great
meal, chill out at IndoChine Wisma with its ultramodern vibes and
fresh seafood. Fancy more than rock and dancing? Head across the
Orchard Road to hang out in a nice bar.
