With its towering sky gardens, complex rice terrace-like contours, and signature birdcage-inspired cabanas, PARKROYAL on Pickering is an architectural marvel in its own right. The hotel sits pretty at a junction between Chinatown, Clarke Quay, and Singapore’s Central Business District, providing guests with easy access to many facets of the city. There’s a reason why PARKROYAL on Pickering remains one of our top hotel picks when it comes to convenience and comfort in the heart of Singapore’s city centre.
At a glance: Top 3 reasons to stay
Attractive
With its towering facade of glass and giant sky garden terraces, PARKROYAL on Pickering is a visual feast. It remains one of Singapore’s most architecturally ambitious hotels. Stay on a high enough floor and you’ll be treated to panoramic vistas of the Singapore skyline.
Excellent location
Accessible and surrounded by plenty of attractions. The Singapore River is just a 5-minute walk away. You’ll find the bars and restaurants of Clarke Quay, the bustling shops of Chinatown, and the skyscrapers of Singapore’s Central Business District within walking distance.
Clean & green
All 15,000m² of the hotel’s zero-energy sky gardens are powered by 60kWp solar cells and kept healthy with harvested rainwater. The lush gardens constitute more than twice the hotel’s total land area. The hotel has earned Singapore’s Green Mark Platinum, the nation’s highest green rating.
Light and airy guestrooms with panoramic views
Bright, airy, and spacious, with large glass panels letting in plenty of light, the guestrooms are accommodating and far from claustrophobic. Warm-toned wood furniture lends an earthy and organic colour palette, heightening the hotel’s theme of eco-consciousness. The full-length windows grant an amazing panoramic view that stretches from the tip of Clarke Quay to the Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. Light switches and day-and-night blind controls in the room are touch-operated.
Chic little infinity pool with a city view
Nothing like a refreshing dip in an infinity pool to cool off, especially in the stifling humidity of Singapore. PARKROYAL on Pickering’s pool is perched on the scenic Wellness Floor on Level 5, which is also where you’ll find the St. Gregory Spa and gym. Partially shaded from the strong sun, the pool makes for a scenic spot to unwind. It draws quite a crowd in the middle of the day, so if you can snag a spot in one of the colourful birdcage cabanas, count yourself lucky!
Orchid Club Lounge: Enhance your stay with additional perks
If you stay in one of the Orchid Club rooms or suites and you’ll have exclusive access to the lovely Orchid Club Lounge and Terrace at Level 16. This means perks like all-day refreshments, champagne breakfast from 6.30 am to 10.30 am, afternoon tea from 2 pm to 4 pm, evening cocktails canapés from 6 pm to 8 pm, and generous 360-degree views of the city skyline.
Lime Restaurant gets creative
Of course, you’ll want to sample the delights at PARKROYAL on Pickering’s Lime Restaurant at least once. Located on street level, the restaurant is sprawling enough to accommodate its large buffet spreads. Outside of breakfast, they frequently announce themed menus, so look out for those. And if you’re thinking of treating yourself, you can splurge on the unique Tiers of Joy Afternoon Tea set, complete with some very special sweet and savoury bites. Think passionfruit meringue tarts alongside profiteroles stuffed with Peking duck duxelles.
