At the start of Orchard Road and in the heart of Singapore's commercial and entertainment district sits the Grand Hyatt Singapore, an oasis-like property amid a bustling city.

Soaring 21 stories high, the Grand Hyatt Singapore, much like the city itself, is steeped in modernity. The two-tiered, burnished-wood lobby first acquaints visitors, while guests can further acclimate themselves in the hotel's generously vast public spaces. Waterfalls and wooden pergolas authenticate the elegant courtyard areas.

Catering to the business- and the pleasure-minded, the Grand Hyatt offers an array of amenities. Those interested in the latter diversions can use Damai a recreational venue with badminton and tennis courts, a studio, gym and spa. Outside, palm fronds frame an endlessly serene pool.

However, if work presses, the hotel is well-equipped. A business center offers full secretarial services, and there are 11 functionally flexible conference areas. The hotel is also well-known for its banquet and catering endeavors.

On the food front, there are four open-air kitchen concepts. Straits Kitchen presents local cuisine in a contemporary environment with a selection of Chinese, Indian and Malay plates. Mezza9 is an innovative eatery, the first of its kind in Asia, that serves nine different Asian and Western dining experiences. The more conventional Pete's Place dishes pizza and pastas, but with a salad, soup and bread counter for a twist. The Oasis poolside restaurant is an all-day dining outlet, popular for its weekly BBQ buffet dinner.

The Grand Hyatt Singapore's 663 guestrooms are contemporarily outfitted and feature garden or city views. Grand rooms feature one flat-screen television and down duvets. Travelers on business or pleasure can find suitably ideal amenities at the Grand Hyatt Singapore.
