Hilton Singapore Orchard
333 Orchard Road, Singapore
Rates start at around P13,000 per night (average price per night)

At a glance: It's a five-star hotel—the largest of the Hilton chain of hotels in the Asia Pacific.
Room: The standard room is just the right amount of space. If you're audio sensitive, the occasional luggage being hauled from outside or above your room might be a concern.
Food and drink: They have the popular restaurant Chatterbox known for its Mandarin Chicken Rice. They've served presidents, dignitaries, and A-list personalities like Jackie Chan. They also have a bar and lounge as well as an all-day dining buffet.
Staff: Attentive and accommodating to questions and requests (which you can send via WhatsApp).
Why you should stay: Hilton Singapore Orchard is located right along Orchard Road, which means you're at the center of the shopping action in Singapore. A few minutes of walking and you're on ION Orchard, or Takashimaya, or Design Orchard where you can shop all things local. ION Orchard also has access to the MRT Orchard Road station, which should be around a 10-15-minute walk. The hotel is also just 25 minutes away from the airport by car.

(SPOT.ph) Love shopping? There’s one spot on earth where all your dream/favorite/essential shopping brands can be found within a stone's a throw away from each other. Yep, we're talking about Singapore's Orchard Road. Most of the malls here, and tourist destinations, are conveniently connected by train. It's the city state's premiere shopping district. To make your shopping even more convenient, the Hilton Singapore Orchard is in the area.

What you need to know about Hilton Singapore Orchard

The standard room is just the right size for solo travelers or a couple on a trip. It has a dedicated space for working by the window (a table and a rotating chair), which is next to a little sofa—perfect for the weary, no-outside-clothes-on-the-bed travelers who haven’t changed and showered yet and want to rest first after a long flight (for Filipinos, that's about three hours—after 2-3 hours of waiting for your flight at the Manila airport).

There’s a section for the mini bar, a coffee machine and complimentary coffee capsules. Most of the hotel essentials, like the safe box, hair dryers, and even the ironing board are in inconspicuous locations, blending in as part of the interiors. The clothing racks are behind the television.

The bathroom is luxurious, with its big and stylish mirrors and bathtub. It’s the perfect place to be after a long shopping day. Give those arms tired from carrying shopping bags a good, relaxing soak, while your fingers scroll through Instagram or TikTok.

There’s a separate shower stocked with big bottles of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. The hygiene kits can be found by the sink. Their hotel slippers are soft and plush. 

What to do

Well, shopping, of course.

Orchard Road is an iconic shopping destination in Singapore, and the Hilton Singapore Orchard is smack dab in the middle of it. Take your pick among the designer shops like Louis Vuitton, Dior, Tiffany & Co., Cartier, and Prada, among others at ION Orchard. Visit the famous department store chain Takashimaya. Check out over 80 Singaporean fashion and lifestyle brands at Design Orchard, if you want something local. We can see both ION and Takashimaya from our hotel window. 

If you’re a fan of Singaporean brands like Love, Bonito, The Editor’s Market, and Beyond the Vines, you might still want to visit their stores here even if they have outposts in the Philippines—they might have exclusive offers. The Paper Bunny, which doesn’t have a PH branch (...yet) can be found here, too. So it’s your time to shop TPB in-store instead of browsing their offerings online. We also saw a Nike and Apple store from one of the windows at Estate, the hotel's all-day buffet.

There's also the Mandarin Gallery, a four-story luxury retail gallery, within the Hilton itself. 

While you can pretty much go anywhere from the Orchard MRT station, you can always book a Grab to wherever your destination is, especially when the trains are closed for the day.

From the hotel to Universal Studios Singapore, the JustGrab is around S$16.69, which is approximately P711.41. Meanwhile, if you’re going to Changi (direct route), the JustGrab will be around S$22.56, approximately P961.99—at least from the time we checked.

Where to eat

You have five dining options inside the establishment open from day to night. There’s the all-day buffet, Estate, which offers chef's signatures, premium carvings, and an expansive seafood bar. It's open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. If you love to wine and dine, you can do so with Italian-Californian classic dishes at Osteria Mozza.

Craving Szechuan cuisine? You can swing by Shisen Hanten, a one-MICHELIN-starred restaurant led by Chef Chen Kentaro. For afternoon tea, artisanal cakes, and craft cocktails, you can wind down at the Ginger.Lily, which is open from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Last but not least, Chatterbox is there for an easy, elevated fix of Singapore's Haianese Chicken Rice.

You can book directly via the Hilton Singapore Orchard website. Rates start around P13,000.
