Grand Hyatt Singapore caters to all Selma Roth Saudi Gazette With its fast pace of life and business-oriented society, Singapore may first come to mind as a destination for work. But gradually, the city is conquering the hearts of holidayers, who are attracted by its endless shopping malls, spectacular resorts and theme parks, stunning flora and fauna, as well as its multiethnic cuisine, which also offers an abundance of halal options. Singapore's Grand Hyatt understood this two-sided charm of the affluent city-state: In the 42 years of its existence, it grew to become a first choice for people from around the world, sublimely accommodating both business and leisure travelers in an oasis of peacefulness. Exemplary to this concept is the hotel's 10 Scotts restaurant, the perfect place for both leisurely afternoon teas and business coffee meetings or even evening cocktails. It combines the characteristics of a business lounge with the cosiness of a living room. Conveniently located along Orchard Road, the city's heart of shopping and business, Grand Hyatt Singapore boasts of 677 rooms including 46 suites. Ranging from 42 to 525 square meters, all rooms are equipped with luxurious amenities and come with a spacious bathroom with separate bath and shower facilities. But this oasis offers much more in terms of relaxation. Despite its central location on the densely populated island country, the Grand Hyatt houses an award-winning spa and fitness center in addition to an extensive outdoor swimming pool surrounded by greenery. Damai Spa includes 11 treatment rooms inspired by nature where guests can choose from numerous premium packages including traditional massages, facials and body treatments, as well as pedicure and manicure sessions. For optimal indulgence and comfort, the spa houses a separate sauna, steam room, jacuzzi and cold plunge pool for men and women. Following a fun and long day of exploring the numerous attractions Singapore presents, is there any better way to revitalize than by a heartening dinner? No need to leave the hotel for this: Grand Hyatt houses five restaurants, varying from Italian home-style food at Pete's Place to a grand (halal) buffet encompassing Indian, Singaporean, Chinese and Malay cuisine at StraitsKitchen. Worth checking out is also mezza9, a unique concept on the mezzanine floor that combines 9 culinary delights. Fancying sushi for starter, Thai and Chinese main dishes, brushing off with some exquisite chocolate or patisserie? In this restaurant diners can use their imagination without limits! With all these facilities on hand, one could easily forget that Grand Hyatt Singapore caters to business people as well - and it does so respectably. Not only are all rooms equipped with spacious desks, wired and wireless Internet services and complimentary coffee and tea-making facilities, the hotel features over 5,100 square meters of newly-renovated event space for conferences and receptions ranging from 10 to 2,200 guests. Each of these spaces boasts of the latest technology while honoring the traditional Asian and Singaporean architecture through its wooden panels and use of other natural materials, giving the meeting rooms a lively and organic atmosphere. Various venues also feature a show kitchen to provide guests with live culinary experiences. For extra comfort and privacy, Grand Hyatt Singapore includes a Grand Club that gives access to the Grand Club Lounge on the hotel's 15th floor for a fair price. The lounge offers complimentary all-day refreshments, continental breakfast in the morning, and canapés from 6 to 8 p.m. For fast-deciding leisure travelers visiting Singapore on Friday or Saturday, the hotel offers a special 24-hour weekend package, which allows check-out a full 24 hours after you check in, no matter what time that was, in addition to 10 percent off room rates and complimentary breakfast at StraitsKitchen.
