Largest Hilton Hotel in Asiapac

I had the privilege to be invited to my first physical / face-to-face industry conference since the last 2 over years at the newly renovated Hilton Singapore Orchard (formerly Mandarin Orchard). The largest Hilton hotel in Asiapac. It is the best opportunity for me to check out the refreshed interiors though I may not be able to see the rooms this round. The Grand Ballroom is still at level 6 of the main tower nka Orchard Wing but the interior has gone through extensive renovation and the feel is a lot more modern. Completely a different feel from my wedding banquet which I had there 17 years ago. It is still one of the rare few pillar-less ballroom in Singapore which can host up to 1,000 guests. The Front Desk reception at level 5 no longer has the super high ceiling with oriental grandeur and nostalgic huge chandeliers. Now it feels more cozy and modern without the high ceiling. More earthy colours with walnut wood finishings and natural marble floorings instead of carpets. I guess they have converted the “airspace” to something more commercially productive aka income-producing rooms. Still it’s a refreshing scene which looks current. I walked around to take some pics during the lunch break and I’m now very keen to do a staycation at the newly renovated hotel to explore its facilities fully. Waiting for a good promotion from Trip.com. 😉 #moreinsg #mustdo #mustvisit #muststay #luxuryhotel #hilton #staycation
