Park Hotel Clarke Quay

( 4 stars , Singapore , Singapore )

A contemporary take on 19th century Singapore architecture, this 10-storey hotel is topped by a striking red-tiled roof and towers with spires, while its exterior features neo-classical motifs such as cast iron balconies and large overhanging eaves. Built in 2009, the hotel features intelligent lighting, accentuating the interiors of the rooms and illuminating a stunning facade that offers a refreshing change to the skyline of the riverfront area. Inspired by the old world charm of Singapore's colonial past, the hotel, with its lush landscape, serves as a tropical retreat in the centre of the city. The establishment is fully air-conditioned and comprises a total of 336 guest rooms and suites. Guests are welcomed into a lobby with 24-hour reception and check-out service and currency exchange facilities. Lift access, a bar, a restaurant, conference facilities and a laundry service (fees apply) all feature. Guests arriving by car can leave their vehicles in the nearby car park. The hotel is set to open in 2009.
