Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

We have visited the Mandarin Oriental many times and this is the first time since the renovations. It is now much brighter and colourful. The staff in the Club Lounge are excellent

So good they called it Oriental Being of an age where electronic gadgetry is still fascinating I think it was at the point that I discovered the ‘scene lighting mode’ in my bedroom that I made an audible WOW type gesticulation. This was followed by similar internal noises (so as not to alarm my wife) when I was able to blackout the room from my bedside or switch on night mode so a low light pops on when you inevitably get out of bed in the middle of the night. There’s just not enough space here to rave about the magic toilet! We arrived early at 12.30pm so whilst our room was preparing we went to the buffet restaurant for lunch. The word Buffett doesn’t do the Embu restaurant justice, this is everything but the lovely spread your aunties put on at a christening. The word has several meanings one of which is Japanese for ‘going into battle’. So my tummy and myself certainly rose to the challenge, starters of cold meats salads and freshly baked breads, a main course of curry and roast beef followed by x3 moose’s, bread and butter pudding, ice cream, cheese and biscuits and two cups of tea. I did however feel a sense of loss, from loosing the battle as I was unable to attack, the sushi, Asian buffet, seafood and much more I probably missed. But this is no ordinary war, you get to go again tomorrow at breakfast. But seriously though, this is food of the highest quality maintained and refilled impeccably and displayed immaculately. The design of this place is also wow, with its Disney type lifts and palatial lobby it almost bows to you as you enter. We enjoyed swimming on the fifth floor and used the adjacent gym which was good. I’d really love to balance the review with some areas of improvement for the hotel so perhaps then the free luxurious boxed macaroons we were given in the bedroom could be exchanged in the future for a figgy biscuit or Scottish shortbread to dip in our Supplied earl grey tea.

The hotel is very well located and the view from the hotel is amazing. The breakfast is good, with plenty of choices. The staff are all very professional and very helpful. The gym are very well equipped.

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Mandarin Oriental for 3 memorable nights. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with opulence and elegance. The spacious room, adorned with modern decor and breathtaking views, provided the perfect sanctuary. The breakfast buffet was simply amazing as well. A special thanks to Mr. Ganesan for his exceptional service during breakfast. His kindness and professionalism truly enhanced our stay and made us feel like valued guests. We appreciate his efforts and will fondly remember the care he extended to us and our baby. We look forward to returning to create more cherished memories in the future at the Mandarin Oriental.
