Classic Stay in Singapore – Mandarin Oriental – Hotel Review

Versão em português aqui.

It’s our first day in Asia. Our very first day in Singapore. After flying for almost two days from Brazil with Emirates (review soon), we are now arriving in a kind of sanctuary. It’s how you feel when you arrive at Mandarin Oriental Singapore. 

The atmosphere here is so peaceful and intimate you can barely realize it has about 500 hundred rooms. From the very first contact, we were treated like friends by every staff member, who do care about your deepest wishes. It looks like you are at home, but with 5* luxury amenities.

We stepped into our beautifully decorated room with a lovely view over Singapore’s skyline and were granted with a warm welcome gift to always remember this pleasant stay. But how to forget?

From breakfast with endless options for every taste – from oriental dishes, to eggs any style, to several types of juices – to a wide variety of dining options, MO Singapore is definitely a place you never want to leave.

We used to start our days with morning exercises at the state-of-the-art gym, with the latest equipments contrasting with classic-black-crystal chandeliers.

To have a relaxing time and to beat jet lag after almost two days flying, we spent some hours at the pool, with private cabanas overlooking Singapore’s skyline. There you can have a light lunch by the pool at Dolce Vita Restaurant.

But if you are interested in having a glamorous meal, what about tasting the best of Cantonese Cuisine? Be sure to check Cherry Garden Restaurant, where we had one of the most incredible meals of our whole trip. I don’t know if you love dumplings as I do, but this place is a food lover paradise. 

To wrap up your day in style, have fun at MO Bar, where you can sip the most inventive drinks with Singapore’s skyline in the background, while savoring delicious snacks and enjoying lively elegant music.

Besides being super comfortable and elegant, MO Singapore is also very well located, in front of Marina Bay with easy access to major tourist attractions such as Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Shops and Orchard Road, as many other places to going out (soon) in Singapore. I don’t know about you, but after re-reading this post, I’d love to go back to this place for at least a day. MO Singapore is definitely a place to remember.
