Fodor's Expert Review Mandarin Orchard Singapore

The grand main lobby in this large hotel is adorned with black-and-white Italian marble and a huge mural—87 Taoist Immortals, which is based on an 8th-century Chinese scroll—and guest rooms have Asian themes with modern amenities. Those on the upper floors command fabulous views; deluxe rooms have separate shower cubicles. The restaurants, which are frequented by locals, serve Cantonese cuisine (at Mandarin Court on the 35th floor) and award-winning chicken rice (at Chatterbox).
