I have long been a fan of Shangri-la hotels, and by far the Singapore Shangri-la is the flag ship hotel for the chain. I normally stay in the Valley Wing, which as previous reviews have stated is amazing for service and quality.

For my work I normally book up to six months in advance, so as per my normal arrangements I booked the Shangri-la.

For a hotel of its quality and reputation, I was surprised to learn that for the upcoming F1 race, the normal room rate of 700Singapore dollars was now 2000Singapore dollars PER NIGHT. Yes a 280+% increase.

While I understand that all hotels add a percentage for any new or major event, I would have to question this hotels ethics on this on…

We stayed for 3 nights in the Valley Wing. What a fabulous part of a great hotel. It has its own lobby, free champagne bar and absolutely fantastic service - an amazing USP.

The impressive lobby with the chic and elegant relaxing areas have superb and friendly staff. The breakfast is served in the sumptuous Summit Room. The comfortable seating areas are serviced all day with snacks, nibbles and canpes with free flowing champagne or what ever else you want.

The room was enormous with a carpet thick enough to sleep on. Big bathroom with nice toiletries and extras. Lovely turn down service with scrummy chocolates each night. A truely wonderful stay.

My husband and I are presently on an extended trip to Australia and Malaysia. We started our trip with a three night stay in Singapore at the Shangri La hotel and what a hotel. We arrived at 7.30am after a long over night flight with the superb Singapore Airlines to find our room ready. We had a swift check in and were able to freshen up and have breakfast. Throughout our stay we enjoyed excellent service with one blot on the copy book. We decided to have a meal in the Blu restaurant which is extreemly overpriced, has very slow service and we were nearly overcharged by $200 for a bottle of wine.The restaurant was fairly quiet and every table made some kind of complaint. In comparrison on our last night we ate in the excellent Line restaurant which had a seafood evening and the food and service was second to none. So all in all well done to the Shangri La but avoid the Blu restaurant.
