This upscale hotel in Orchard area of Singapore has impressive grounds (and lobby), excellent breakfast buffet, large and well-equipped gym, polite and attentive staff, and nice in-room amenities, such as a Nespresso. We stayed in the Tower wing. The room was adequate and clean but a bit small. The room was wedge-shaped and the bathroom a bit cramped. The Origin bar (just opened) made unique cocktails, drawing on Singapore's history for inspiration. Our experience was marred by the check-in process. Early check was not available. In fact, after a long check-in line, our room was still not available at 3 pm and we had to continue waiting. This was unpleasant after a long flight. The location appears convenient, but reaching the nearest MRT requires a 15-minute walk in the heat, or using the free shuttle which runs once an hour. Overall a good experience.
