Hotel Reviews - Shangri-La Hotel Singapore

The ShangriLa Singapore is one of the group's finest properties, and this award-winning hotel offers a perfect antidote to the Singapore 's bustle. The reception offers an impressive 8.6 meter piece of artwork by Hong Kong artist Lim Chang, reminiscent of ShangriLa, the idyllic village settlement as described in James Hilton's book Paradise Lost, from where the hotel group takes its name. Set in 15 acres of botanical gardens the ShangriLa boasts a tranquillity that can be hard to find in city centre hotels. From the koi carp pond, past the large outdoor swimming pool to the 3 hole pitch and put golfing green, its easy to forget that you are just moments away from the bustling shopping district of Orchard Road . For privacy and excellent personal service, I recommend the hotel's Valley Wing. This exclusive wing, separate from the rest of the hotel, is reserved for high-end guests designed to accommodate heads of state, CEOs and royalty. Valley Wing guests are personally met at the airport and escorted to the hotel in style via Mercedes Limosines offering an array of refreshments. However if for any reason you do chose to make your own way to the hotel, be sure to tell your driver to take you to the Valley Wing entrance, guests have their own private entrance and lobby area to ensure a smooth arrival. The Valley Wing offers the largest and Deluxe rooms in Singapore with an understated, classical elegance designed by British designer Charles Robertson. All suites come with a personal butler and laptop. The impressive private lobby area overlooking the gardens and pool serves complimentary champagne, cocktails, juices and canapés throughout the day. After a hard day's business meetings it's definitely worth trying out one of the specially designed butler-drawn baths to sooth away stress, a menu is available in room.
