The 343-room PARKROYAL on Beach Road is an upscale
hotel located a short walk from Arab Street and Kampong Glam neighborhoods, and close to an MTR station, giving easy access around the city. It offers all the features expected of a hotel of its
class: three restaurants (including an award-winning Chinese
restaurant), a cafe, bar, luxury spa and fitness center, and a large swimming pool with a poolside bar. Some rooms have been
completely refurbished, while lower-category guest rooms show some signs of wear and tear. Club Rooms and
Suites include a few notable extras,
like access to the Club Lounge where guests enjoy
free evening cocktails. For a hotel with more character, the swanky Scarlet Hotel near Chinatown is worth checking
out, as is the hip Wangz Hotel.

Scene
Upscale hotel popular with tourists and business travelers
PARKROYAL
on Beach Road occupies a large white, curved building located on a lush, tree-lined street and surrounded by palm
trees. The spacious lobby area has a '70s look to it, with somewhat
dated decor and low ceilings, sleek black-and-white floors, and beige sofas offering seating around low coffee tables. There's plenty of spaces to relax in, including a pleasant living room-like nook with wooden floors, white sofas and armchairs, and a bookcase stocked with a small collection of tomes and decorative knickknacks. Most of the guests staying here are couples or business travelers, but families are also frequent visitors. The hotel's popularity means that public spaces can get quite crowded, especially the breakfast area in the mornings.

Bright and spacious rooms decorated in earthy tones

wall-to-wall carpet, and the simple furniture is made of pale wood.
Bathrooms are also spacious, with beige floor and wall
tiles, as well as large mirrors. Some have shower/tub combos, while

standard, but do not have tubs in the bathrooms, while Club Rooms
and Suites are of a superior category, equipped with large walk-in
showers with rainfall showerheads, separate bathtubs, black marble vanities, and balconies. Guests staying in these rooms also benefit
