Orchard Road, Traders Hotel

When we arrived at the Traders Hotel in Singapore we couldn't believe it! We had never stayed in such a great 4* Hotel before! The marble lobby with a stunning water feature gave off the impression of luxury immediately. On reaching our room, we couldn't stop grinning. It was modern and contemporary (I can't stand flowers). It had a big bed, a view of the pool, crisp white linen, dressing gowns, slippers and a TV speaker in the bathroom! Very nice! It is a big hotel with 3 restaurants, a bar, gym and spa etc. The pool is lovely with a cascading water feature over the edge of the 4 stories. We didn't eat at the restaurants, as we prefer to explore, but they all looked very posh! The whole place was very clean and had excellent air conditioning! The hotel's situation is fairly good. It is a 5 minute walk to the other end of Orchard Road (the main shopping road). The hotel is attached to a mall, but we didn't venture in there. It's about a 10 - 15 minute walk to the nearest MRT and 5 minutes to the nearest bus stop. Bars and Restaurants are nearby (don't go after 10pm though, because they are all shut).

All in all, we had a fabulous time. If you're used to living in luxury then this probably isn't luxury enough for you, but anyone who wants their own little haven for a one-off treat, it's great!
