I moved to the fancier and bigger Mandarin Orchard Hotel (previously known as Meritus Mandarin) which is much nearer to the MRT station on the second day. They were having a special weekend promotion and the room rate quoted to me was about the same as Concorde Hotel. Concorde Hotel is a 4-star hotel located near the end of Orchard Road and 5 minutes walk away from the nearest MRT whilst Mandarin Orchard Hotel is a 5-star hotel located in the middle of the bustling Orchard Road and only 2 minutes walk to Somerset MRT station. It's a no-brainer had i choose not move right ?
Hotel lobby located on the 5th floor. All check-ins and check-outs are to be done here.
This is the reception and bell boy counter located on Ground floor, the main entrance of the hotel in the Main Tower
The hotel main entrance in the Main Tower block
Spotted this two fancy cars outside the hotel main entrance
This hotel has two tower blocks (Main Tower & Orchard Wing), making a total 1051 tenantable rooms.
This hotel first opened its doors in 1971 and the design of its rooms have largely remained the same ever since. I stayed here for 4 nights back in early 2008 and the only difference i noticed in this room is the Philip LCD TV. They were still using a 21" box-type TV in 2008.
A separate bathtub and shower stall. Generally, everything is very well-maintained too.
You can see my hotel from here. It is still bearing the name "Meritus Mandarin".
