Here's an in-depth look at where you will be staying.<p> We toured the property the other day and it's clear the room to book is the <b>Cool Corner Suite</b>. We peeked into one of these suites on the 5th floor and the star of the suite was the private balcony overlooking the hotel's sexy pool scene along with views of Zen Garden and Camelback Mountain. <p>The suite itself is about 600-sq.ft. with a floating signature W Bed (all rooms feature a floating bed look), a fully-tricked out desk with a personal computer, a giant flat-screen TV and a spa-style bathroom featuring juliana 2012-02-13T14:14:31-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/2/7/1246/69517 <![CDATA[<P><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/sllobbiessin.jpg" class="top"><br><i>Reception at the Tower Wing (left) and reception at the Valley Wing (right)</i> <P>It's really a tale of two lobbies, the <b><a href="http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/singapore/shangrila">Shangri-La Singapore</a></b>. There's the original, red and gold grand lobby of the Tower Wing, opened in the early 1970s. Then, there's the white marble and gold of the modern Valley Wing next door. While the Valley Wing has its exclusivity and free champagne and fancy breakfast in the Summit Room, the Tower Wing has that classic appeal plus many mega chandeliers and the many decades of afternoon tea enjoyed on the Rose Veranda. <P>Yes, you already know what major hotel geeks we are&#151;heck, you <i>are</i> reading this on HotelChatter.com, but please let us stress the appeal JetSetCD 2012-02-07T17:18:47-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/2/6/144029/5449 <![CDATA[<P><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/ShangDel2.jpg" class="top"> <P>Did you know...that the <b><a href="http://www.shangri-la.com/en/property/singapore/shangrila">Shangri-La Singapore</a></b> is the <i>original</i> of the Shangri-La chain of properties? Did you also know that it is a hotel with three distinct wings, each with a different feel and luxury level? Serious hotel geeks will have answered yes to both, but it's no matter because right now, we're taking you inside the a <b>Deluxe Suite in the Valley Wing</b>, a one-bedroom abode with butler service, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/19/11446/5860/hotels/The_Shangri_La_Singapore_Has_Its_Very_Own_Orchid">signature Shangri-La orchids</a> all over the place, and&#151;joy of joys&#151;free champagne and decadent nibbles. <P>You can't get much fancier than this at the Shangri-La Singapore; there's only two room categories higher than the Deluxe (a 2-bedroom and the Shangri-La Suite), and its location in the JetSetCD 2012-02-06T17:35:12-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/2/6/115316/3054 <![CDATA[<P><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/1WanderRocket_8.jpg" class="top"> <P>It's been in magazines and on design blogs aplenty, but the <b>"Space" Suite</b> at <b>Singapore's <a href="http://www.designhotels.com/wanderlust">Wanderlust Hotel</a></b> is a space you've got to see with your own eyes to appreciate. <P>Every duplex suite on the top floor of this 29-room hotel in the Little India neighborhood has been conceptualized by local design company fFurious; the "Space" suite is just one of the many looks, and by far the most popular. Maybe the allure comes from the mystery of outer space, or a youth spent sleeping under astronaut-covered sheets? Our guess: it's because the room is pitch-black with only a fiber optic ceiling of stars at night&#151;great for a fantasy night of romance or if you're anticipating JetSetCD 2012-02-06T14:33:55-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/1/31/175513/601 <![CDATA[<P><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/GHsuiteSin1.jpg" class="top"> <P>Two bedrooms, three bathrooms, a parlour, a private verandah and butler service&#151;it must be a suite. Indeed it is, but the <b><a href="http://www.raffles.com/singapore/">Raffles Singapore</a></b> is exclusively comprised of suites, and this <b>Grand Hotel Suite</b> is but one of the higher categories. <P>What distinguishes the Grand Hotel suite from the others below it (Courtyard suite, Palm Court suite, Personality suite) is its location just up the Raffles' grand lobby staircase, in the main hotel building. The others, you see, are located in a neighboring wing, around a private "residents only" courtyard. <P>Okay, it also boasts far more original art, more antique furniture, the extra bedroom and bathroom, a separate office and living area.
