Fodor's Expert Review Orchard Hotel

Being close to Orchard Road, several embassies, and the Botanic Gardens has no doubt contributed to this hotel's popularity. Rooms in the Orchard Wing are larger and more expensive than standard rooms. Premier and Harvesters' Club rooms on the top floors have separate check-in and complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails. The formal Hua Ting restaurant offers Cantonese and Shanghainese fare, while the Orchard Cafe serves a variety of lighter dishes. Kids will feel at home with the "Ask Alfred" service, which—for an extra fee—includes things like ice cream, candy, special soaps and other amenities.
