Marina Mandarin

Description:

• The atrium of the Marina Mandarin is a colossal 21-story space, but it is peaceful and serene for its size and busy location due to the natural light that streams through skylights and birdsong from caged Chinese nightingales. The recently renovated rooms are spacious and attractive, with crisp white bed linen offset by dark wood furniture, Asian fabrics, and frosted glass walls around the well-equipped bathrooms. Premier Suites are more Western in flavor, using light wood and gold and white fabrics. Venus rooms offer women travelers comforts and conveniences, including bath oils, custom pillows, and hair tongs. Each room has a balcony -- ask for a harborview room. The Marina Mandarin has the Marina Square and Millennium Walk shopping malls on its doorstep. Though it's a fair walk from this area to the MRT (subway), it's possible to do most of the journey via air-conditioned malls, and taxis are plentiful here.

  Facilities: 3 restaurants; English pub and lobby lounge; outdoor pool; outdoor lighted tennis courts and squash courts; health club; spa w/Jacuzzi, sauna, steam, and massage; concierge; airport transfers; room service; babysitting; smoke-free rooms; executive-level rooms
