Uniquely Singapore
Effortlessly charming, utterly addictive and deliciously tantalising, Singapore – your perfect stopover to Australia is an exotic melting pot of unique experiences…
Uniquely Charming
A stroll through the ethnic enclaves of Singapore is the perfect way to explore the vibrant mix of heritage and culture. But for a real insight into the island’s blend of age-old traditions and modern living, visit at festival time. During Chinese New Year (February), Vesak Day (August), the Mid-Autumn and Hari Raya Festivals (September) and Deepavali (October), the streets of Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Geylang Serai and Little India, come alive with glittering lights, dazzling performances and colourful bazaars. And at Christmas, the month-long celebrations include unmissable light displays, gift markets and even pantomimes, Singapore-style.
Join a cultural Singapore City Tour
Explore the historic colonial Supreme Court and City Hall, visit one of Singapore’s oldest Buddhist temples and immerse yourself in the hustle and bustle of Chinatown and Little India.
Uniquely Addictive
With fabulous designer brands filling The Central, Vivocity and the famous malls along Orchard Road, Singapore is celebrated as one of Asia’s shopping capitals. But head to the quirky boutiques of Bugis Village and you could discover the fashions of the next Gucci or Jimmy Choo! And venture into Chinatown, Little India, Arab Street or Holland Village and you’ll find an exciting treasure trove of local jewellery and crafts, arts and antiques, beautiful saris and exotic spices.
Stay in the heart of the shopping district
With the world-famous shops of Orchard Road on your doorstep – and the relaxing hotel pool just moments from your room – enjoy the cosmopolitan elegance and comfort of the Orchard Hotel.
Uniquely Tantalising
A stay in Singapore will more than satisfy your taste for gastronomic adventure. Influenced by its Chinese, Malay, Indian, Eurasian and Peranakan inhabitants, the city’s cuisine is a tantalising concoction of international and regional dishes. Perennial favourites include chilli crab, Hainanese chicken rice, satay and fish-head curry – all of which can be savoured at the month-long Singapore Food Festival which comprises food carnivals, culinary workshops, cooking demonstrations, and a host of special island-wide events, held each July.
Dine at the city’s best restaurants and bars
Al fresco dining at Clarke Quay is not to be missed – so stay at the stylish Novotel Clarke Quay and enjoy stunning views from the heart of this vibrant area.
