Problem
Singapore has many grand hotels. The Sheraton Towers is easy to get to, steps away from Newton MRT Station, or a short taxi ride from the heart of Singapore.

As you get out of your taxi you are likely to encounter the lovely man in the white outfit who has been there for years.
The heavy swing doors will probably be held back for you by one or two members of staff. The hallway is spacious. The grand staircase has wood carved into a twisted rope effect. A great place to stay or have a meal. If you prefer to take the lift, you pass an orchid and step inside a lift with lovely colours.

From the higher floors you can look down over the waterfalls and spotlit water around the restaurant and ground floor lounge areas.
High Price Coffee?
What if you can't afford it? A member of my family used to work in an office building nearby. He popped into the Sheraton with a colleague and found double espresso coffee for two came to 25 dollars for two coffees. The espresso was about 7, double espresso made it fourteen, one regular coffee, service and GST.
That was ten years ago and he has never been back. He has never stopped talking about it.
I, on the contrary, can go into the Sheraton Towers Hotel, happily, up to three times a month, and I love it.
