City Stays:
A stay in a serviced apartment brings with it plenty of benefits – well-appointed rooms with plenty of space including your own kitchen to cook in, and facilities and amenities to take advantage of. But it's not just what's on the inside that counts. Here
Accommodation in two different neighbourhoods to try
BEACH ROAD What to do
• Make some Instagram magic by taking photos of local street art, including the wall murals along Haji Lane. • Explore Kampong Glam and visit the Masjid
Sultan Mosque on Arab Street. • There are plenty of watering holes in the area, but one that’s not-to-be-missed is Blu Jaz Café. • Historic movie theatre The Projector is a cinema with a difference, screening plenty of films that you can’t see in mainstream theatres. • Dine in the dark at Nox – though maybe
not on a first date! • There’s always a new café to try, and three recent additions are Hokkaido Ice Cream Puff, A.R.C. Coffee, and Artistry. But don’t forget established favourites like the Dong Po Colonial Café, an old-school bakery serving up classics like pineapple tarts and homemade zesty lemon curd.

ORCHARD ROAD What to do (aside from shopping!)
• From brunching at Oriole Coffee + Bar, to having one of the best steaks in town at Bedrock Bar & Grill, you’re spoilt for dining choices on Orchard. • Hunting for a couple of exercise options with a twist? Try BOUNCE Singapore at Cathay Cineleisure or the Via Ferrata Climbing Wall in Orchard Central. • For something a little more sedate, try
“art jamming” at Istana Park. • Feed that culture bug with a visit to the Singapore Art Museum and the National Museum of Singapore, Istana.
Where to stay
