The experience begins as you step from the taxi. Hotel staff open the taxi door and take your bag from the boot (trunk) of the cab.

You are ushered into the cool, air-conditioned reception lobby. Lobby staff are immaculately dressed in the Mandarin Oriental’s classy uniform. Desk staff smile and greet you as if they are genuinely pleased to see you.

If you are not already booked into a Club room, then upgrade – it is well worth it!

I was given a room on the 19th floor. Definitely the floor to be on because that is where the Club Lounge is sited; just a short walk away from 1906, the room that I was given. This is a good room to go for (or 1901~1905) because you can pick-up the Club Lounge’s free Wireless Broadband, instead of using the in-room cabled service. It also saves you carrying your laptop into the Club Lounge.

The rooms are beautifully appointed. All that you require is there for you in the various draws and cupboards to be discovered. Molton Brown shampoo, conditioner, body wash and body moisturiser are also available in Club rooms. It’s great to shower with these products in the morning and leaves you feeling pampered.

You have a nice desk and chair (a mini office) to work from and a fabulous view over the marina and towards the Central Business District.

Breakfast is served in the Club Lounge on the 19th floor from 06:30 until 10:30 (you can use the ‘Melt’ Restaurant on the 4th floor if you prefer but quite frankly I wouldn’t bother). Here on the 19th, you are treated as an individual by the immaculately dressed and professional staff.

After breakfast is over you have morning coffee. Later, a light lunch-time snack is served buffet style. In the afternoon, you have Tea (scones, clotted cream and jam, amongst the other delights). Then comes the cocktail hour (two hours actually, from 17:30 until 19:30). Followed by snacks and drinks throughout the evening until the Lounge closes at 23:00.

Morton’s Chicago Steakhouse is sited on the 4th floor and if you love a delicious steak, this is the place to go.
There are other restaurants available, including a Japanese restaurant.

Whether staying on business, like I did, or travelling as part of your vacation, this is one of ‘the’ places to stay in Singapore. I booked through Expedia.com and got an amazing packaged rate.

As Mr Schwartzenegger once said, ‘I’ll be back!’

A first class hotel, with top-notch staff and personalized service. Every part of our stay was enjoyable. The moment we stepped out of immigration, we were greeted by our driver in a Mercedes. Upon departure, we were dropped off at Changi Airport in a Mercedes. The Oriental Club Level is terrific and most relaxing.

Stayed here for 2 nights in a club room from 22 Aug during the Singapore National day fireworks. The hotel must have been busy as the view from the harbour rooms of the fireworks is phenomenal. Despite being busy the service was excellent.

The room, restuarants and services were all excellent. The staff very friendly and helpful. I liked the location, away from the hustle and bustle of Orchard road, but very close by taxi if you wanted to do some shopping. It was great to walk around the Marina area.

I'd call it an understated 5 star luxury hotel that isnt pretentious, but has everything you require from a 5 star luxury hotel as a business traveller.

I have stayed in many Singapore hotels and I will definately being staying at the Mandarin Oriental again on my next trip to Singapore in a few weeks times.

My husband and I have just returned from Singpore Mandarin oriental. The hotel is really fantastic, we stayed on the club level with its own concierge and club lounge, where we had great breakfast, afternoon tea and cocktails with hors d'oeuvres before dinner.
We have not experienced the SPA, because it was fully booked.
We have been spoiled since we arrived at the airport, where a limo was waiting for us with cold, refreshing towels and bottles of water.
We would definetely come back.
