The Grand Hyatt is easily the most elegant of the hotels in the Orchard Road area. The spacious lobby, the luxurious and comfortable rooms, the large pool surrounded by tropical gardens, the excellent gym, the great restaurants serving a thoughtful variety of regional and international cuisine, and the abundant food and beverages in the executive lounge are all world-class. And the Hyatt is an easy taxi ride to the airport and everywhere else in Singapore, steps from the entrance to the Orchard MRT station, and a short walk to all the shopping and eating that Orchard road has to offer.
I have only one small complaint: all the restaurants and even the main bar/lounge ("10 Scotts") stop serving food at 11 pm, and the lounge closes at 11:30. I was told that something called the "Martini Bar" serves drinks but not food until 2 a.m., and there's also a noisy basement bar called BRIX whose customers all seem to be Western men of a certain age and much younger Asian women. Neither of these places would have been right for the late-night snack and glass of wine I sometimes like to have while checking/writing email. Many other hotels of comparable quality in the region have a reasonably quiet and dignified lounge area where you can get a snack as well as a drink until 1 a.m. or so, and many have coffee shops that are open until late or even 24 hours.
But the only real reason I don't stay at the Hyatt more often is that, like other good hotels in Singapore, it's terribly expensive. Only the very rich and those who are lucky enough to work for very generous employers can afford the standard rates. If you are one of these people, or if you qualify for a corporate or government rate (still moderately expensive but somewhat less than the standard rates) or have a free night award from Hyatt, this is the place to stay in Singapore.
Room Tip: There are two wings on the hotel. The Grand Wing is newer, closer to the lobby, and higher; it has...
