Rainer CheungWe all know Singapore’s a bustling hub famed for mostly two things — eating and shopping, which is why there’s no denying that the country is shopaholic heaven.
Since time is of the essence while on holiday, it’s crucial to maximise the schedule you dedicate to shopping. But we offer you a more convenient alternative: Stay as close to the shopping district as possible and you won’t have to worry as much!
Who says you have to sacrifice quality and comfort for the sake of convenience? Indulge in the best of both worlds by booking a stay with these luxury hotels in Singapore’s shopping belt.

2. Orchard Rendezvous Hotel

Another one located along Orchard Road’s stretch is Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, which to most would appear more like a resort than a hotel. It’s at this cross-section between Orchard Road and Tanglin Road where all the big malls are, and right next door is Forum Shopping Mall, which we all know can only mean one thing — more shopping!
The suites are incredibly large, almost feeling like an apartment rather than a hotel room, so that’s definitely plenty of space to lay out all your shopping bags. There are also plenty of leisure facilities perfect for unwinding those sore muscles and aching feet at the end of the day.
Address: 1 Tanglin Road, Singapore 247905
3. Goodwood Park Hotel

Chances are you’ve probably noticed this classy and grand castle-like structure that’s found between Scotts Road and Orchard Road. Its strategic location gives you a chance to escape the incessant hustle and bustle of the crowds passing by but also offers you close proximity to where the action happens. It’s still a convenient walking distance from the iconic mega malls that make up Orchard Road.
The duvets are so comfortable that it’s hard not to knock out almost immediately, recharging the mind and body for another round of shopping. Want a tip? Explore further — into the niche back alleys of Emerald Hill, where you’re sure to find something unique.

4. The Quincy Hotel

The Quincy Hotel is, just like the name suggests, where quirky meets chic. Seemingly underwhelming at first, stepping into the hotel makes you question if you’re in an art gallery instead. This alcove provides respite away from the urban noise while still being right smack in the middle of the Orchard Shopping district.
You’ll be glad to know that The Quincy Hotel guarantees lavish treatment from start to end. When you’re worn down from all the shopping you’ve done, you can return to all day refreshments and an evening cocktail before heading back to the luxurious rooms, where the mini bar is stocked up with even more treats.
Address: 22 Mount Elizabeth, Singapore 228517
