Hotel recommendation?
Hotel recommendation?
Can someone recommend a good hotel to stay in during a look and see trip? Not a five star hotel, but also not a dump? Orchard area? Any advice appreciated!

That will get you quite a few hotels. If you want the Orchard area, it will be lower Orchard near Cavenaugh. Look for Holiday Inn Parkview, Hotel Grand Central, and the Concorde Hotel. These are the older hotels in the Orchard area.Jobo wrote:Maybe 200 or 250 or so. Thank you!
At the upper end of Orchard, you could look into Orchard Parade and maybe the Pan Pacific.
Closer to the CBD, another older group of hotels includes the Peninsula and the Grand Plaza, although the Peninsula is usually loaded with tour groups.
Like someone else said, Asia Rooms is a good place to start, then go to www.streetdb.com to see where the hotel is located.

Went and had a look around the park regis hotel at clarke quay at the weekend, got a tour of all the types of rooms from the very helpful staff. Very nice indeed the superior rooms are $238++ on their website, over thr road from clarke quay MRT so very easy to get around, will be booking for relatives and friends visiting singapore in the future
The Rendezvous rooms were ok'ish, the pool really sucked though. Plus my fav bar was located there but closed down and moved to Boat Quay instead...
What kind of prices are you looking at? The Fairmont has some decent rates for friends of employees, which is basically just a Facebook type promo to reel in new clients this way.
Personally I like the Swissotel as once you have their Gold Elite card then you get lounge access regardless of room type, so 2 hrs of free booze each day.
You need to spend 30 days there over a period of two years to qualify though. And their current prices are ridiculous.
