The Regent is tucked between Cuscaden and Tanglin roads, at the northern end of Orchard Road -- you'll have to hike about 10 minutes to get to the center of things. But check out the lobby in this place! It's a huge, three-level atrium affair with windows on three sides, a skylight, fountains, plenty of small private meeting nooks, and raised walkways straight out of
The Jetsons. The guest rooms have high ceilings and are decorated with Chinese motifs in refurbished fabrics, but the bathrooms are smaller than at most other comparable hotels. You have to request coffee/tea-making facilities in your room; otherwise the service is free in the tea lounge, which also serves a high tea the old-fashioned way, with silver tray service.
Facilities:2 restaurants; very cool bar; lobby tea lounge; outdoor pool; fitness center w/steam and massage; concierge; limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
