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
Snel Overzicht: It's an architectural masterpiece that sometimes prioritizes aesthetics over practicality, with a pool that's more for Instagram than swimming.
Beoordeeld door @Travelholicday:ย Finally checked this dream hotel off my list! The architecture is mind-blowingโit 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.

The hype
Travelers are obsessed with the greenery and exterior design, but often find the rooms smaller than expected for the price.
Reality check
The 'eco-friendly' filtered water tap is great, but the 'moldy smell' in some corridors and rooms is a recurring complaint.
You are a design or architecture nerd
You want easy access to the CBD and Chinatown food
You appreciate eco-conscious amenities like filtered water taps instead of plastic bottles
Schoonmaak & Onderhoud
8.5
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some guests report missed dust on high shelves.
Bathroom hygiene: Immaculate surfaces, but watch out for 'moldy smells' in the drains due to humidity.
Maintenance: Exterior greenery is manicured daily; interior rooms show minor wear on wooden fixtures.
Linens & towels: Crisp, high-thread-count linens; towels are plush but can sometimes smell slightly damp.
Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh lemongrass; some corridors have a lingering musty/damp earth smell.

Goed om te weten
The 'Garden Walk' is open to the public during the day, so keep your blinds down if you're on a low floor.
Breakfast at Lime Restaurant is expensive ($40++ SGD) if not included; Hong Lim Food Centre across the street is $5.
Filtered water taps are installed in every bathroom to reduce plastic waste.

โI would appreciate a room on a high floor (Level 10+) facing Hong Lim Park for the greenery view. Please ensure it is NOT on the same level as the Garden Walk to maintain privacy.โ
Veelgestelde vragen & Verborgen tips
Alles wat je eigenlijk wilt weten voordat je boekt.
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.

The 'Garden Walk' on Level 5 is a hidden gem for a quiet evening stroll without leaving the hotel.
โจ
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 dingen die je moet weten voordat je gaat

๐กHousekeeping sometimes misses the dust on the high wooden slats and decorative features.
๐กThe glass bathroom walls have blinds, but there are still gapsโprivacy is not 100%.
๐กYou can hear the MRT rumble faintly from some lower floor rooms.
