HOTEL REVIEW; PARK HOTEL CLARKE QUAY, SINGAPORE

The Park Hotel Clarke Quay is a tropical oasis in one of Singapore’s most colourful districts.

The hotel’s location at the mouth of the Singapore River, is where the foundations of modern Singapore were laid more than 150 years ago, and it is one of best locations in the city for nightlife and entertainment.

Clarke Quay calls itself a ‘riverside festival village’ with a wide range of dining options, shopping outlets, bars and nightclubs. It’s also a short walk from bustling Chinatown where you can trawl the tourist shops along Pagoda Street, visit the Chinese Heritage Centre or sample local hawker food sold from retro-style pushcarts at Smith Street’s Chinatown Food Street.

The hotel itself has 336 rooms, with architecture inspired by Singapore’s colonial past and modern pampering facilities including a 25-metre outdoor pool and a rather spectacular bar and cabana style pavilions. In fact wego.com users voted the pool in the Top 10 swimming pools in the Asia Pacific region.

The rooms and suites have elevated roofs, city or river views, internet access, and modern furnishings. With a Club Room you’ll also have access to the Crystal Club lounge facilities and Club privileges.
