The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the greenery and exterior design, but often find the rooms smaller than expected for the price.
PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering, Singapore
$280-450/ noapte
Rezervă dacă You want to sleep in a literal vertical garden that feels like a sci-fi eco-utopia, steps from Chinatown's best hawker food.
De ce o iubesc oamenii
- The 'Hotel in a Garden' architecture by WOHA is genuinely jaw-dropping
- Infinity pool with iconic birdcage cabanas overlooking the city
- Direct access to Hong Lim Park and Chinatown MRT
Privire rapidă: It's an architectural masterpiece that sometimes prioritizes aesthetics over practicality, with a pool that's more for Instagram than swimming.
Evaluat de @Travelholicday: Finally checked this dream hotel off my list! The architecture is mind-blowing—it literally feels like a vertical jungle in the middle of the city. Snagging a birdcage cabana by the pool was the highlight of my trip.

Reality check

Întrebări frecvente și sfaturi ascunse
Tot ceea ce vrei de fapt să știi înainte de a rezerva.
Is the pool heated?
No, and it's a common complaint. The water is often described as 'freezing' due to the wind and shade.
Is breakfast worth the price?
Only if you love a massive international buffet. For authentic local flavor, go to Hong Lim Food Centre across the street.
Can I walk to Marina Bay Sands?
It's a bit of a trek (20-25 mins walk), but a cheap Grab ride or quick MRT trip away.
Is there a club lounge?
Yes, the 'COLLECTION Club' on Level 16 offers 360-degree views, breakfast, and evening cocktails for Club room guests.
Are the rooms big?
Not really. Standard rooms start at 28sqm, which is compact for a luxury hotel.
Is it kid-friendly?
Moderately. There's a pool, but the vibe is more 'adult luxury' and rooms are tight for extra beds.
Sfaturi de Insider
- ✨
The 'Garden Walk' on Level 5 is a hidden gem for a quiet evening stroll without leaving the hotel.
- ✨
You can access the Chinatown Point mall via a sheltered walkway if it rains.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Park View' room to see the greenery; 'City View' often just looks at other buildings.
5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The light switches are touch-sensitive pads that are incredibly confusing to operate in the dark.
💡The 'eco-friendly' design means open-air corridors which can get humid and muggy before you enter your AC room.
💡Housekeeping sometimes misses the dust on the high wooden slats and decorative features.
💡The glass bathroom walls have blinds, but there are still gaps—privacy is not 100%.
💡You can hear the MRT rumble faintly from some lower floor rooms.
