One of a long string of hotels along Orchard Road, the Orchard has a few distinguishing features: a putting green, a 25m pool and a lifesize poolside chess set. Inside, the aesthetic is East meets West; luxuries include an extensive pillow menu and an IT butler service. For a bird’s-eye view of Orchard Road, ask for an upper floor in the Orchard Wing. Signature Club rooms are sumptous oriental extravaganzas featuring green, red or blue colour schemes, and lots of extras including evening cocktails and a hydro-massage rain shower.
