Frommer's Review
Formerly the Grand Plaza Parkroyal, this property was built on top of (and incorporating) 2 blocks of prewar shophouses, and you can see hints of shophouse detail throughout the lobby, which is otherwise like any other hotel's. The old alleyway that ran between the shophouse blocks has been transformed into a courtyard where dinner is served alfresco. The hotel is located at the corner of Coleman and Hill streets, close to the Armenian Church, the Asian Civilisations Museum, and Fort Canning Park -- plus a shuttle to Orchard Road. Guest rooms are of smaller size than average, have decent closet space, and sport sharp Italian contemporary furniture in natural tones, with homey touches like snuggly comforters on all the beds. Overall, this property does not stand out from the crowd, except for the St. Gregory Marine Spa, a popular and discrete full-service facility. I also like the pool area for its landscaping.
Facilities: 3 restaurants; lobby lounge; outdoor pool w/view of Armenian Church across the street; fitness center; spa w/Jacuzzi, sauna, steam, and massage; concierge; shuttle service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms
