Let me just say first, that the building on which the sky park is situated on is a huge architectural monument. I love that building so much. Its so beautiful and definitely a place to be pictures at if you come to Singapore.

 

So i headed to the sky park a few months back, about a month after the opening. I paid SGD 20 per pax and 4 of us - my mom, 2 cousins and me made our way up to the park. We were given this recording device which had numbers on it. It synchronizes with the number points on the park. Each number represent a spot on Singapore, and when the number is selected, the history of that spot will be told to you like a story.

Unfortunately, this was the only interesting thing, i thought, was available at the sky park. but when i was there, many restaurants and stuff was not opened yet. Maybe its better now, i dont know. Also i would recommend to go at night than to go during the day. I think Singapore will light up and look better at night.

Ofcourse, another attraction is the long border-less swimming pool which is only available for hotel guests.

Overall i think, i went to early as the attractions were limited as well as i think i should have went at night. Other than that, it might be a good experience to stay at the hotel itself and enjoy the pool with a special loved one. I bet it would be amazing. I heard the higher the floor, the higher the price, as always, but not sure if this is true.

If anyone has some experience at the hotel or sky park much later, after it was opened, or if you went at night, comment! Let me know if it would be worth going again at night.

Personally, i preferred the view from the top floor of Swiss Hotel, but that's another story :P

Fragrance Hotel Middle Road, is the hotel for me right now..

As i'm Malaysian and work in Singapore, i constantly get visitors, family and friends from KL.. I used to book Bencoolen Hotel on Bencoolen Street for them, which is in its own right a good hotel, convenient location and what not.. I feel tha Fragrance is my pick right now, simply because its 3 minutes away from Bugis, and I love Bugis!


My mom recently visited me, along with my cousins just a month ago and it was my first stay at Fragrance. Here are some pictures of the room. Sorry about the lighting, the room is naturally dark, as it has an earthy theme to it, which i love (btw)..

The room price range from SGD 130 - SGD 150, for a normal standard room for 2 persons.. Its clean, and relatively new.. The toilets are clean as well.. the room is actually a little small.. you may get a bigger room else where for this price.. but i think its well worth it considering the location.. :)

Recommended. Definitely. :)
