A beautiful hotel. Centrally located. Perfect coffee stop on Fort Canning.

Coffee
A single espresso cost 6 Singapore dollars. I asked t see the menu. A double espresso cost the same. So we had one double espress. I finished it with the milk. I like a milky espresso. So for six dollars plus plus, plus service and tax, two espresso coffees, one biscuit between the two of us, a trip to the lovely toilets, a chance to look at the menu and surroundings.
Swimming Pools
The upper pool is curvy and a large spa bath is separate, alongside.

Bedroom Prices
Prices. Not cheap. In June 2019 the cheapest room on booking dot com was over 300 Sing dollars.
To go down to the nearest MRT station, Dhoby Ghaut, several flights of stairs sdown the hill. But if you can afford a room, you can probably afford a taxi, or drive your own hire car - free parking for hotel guests.
By the way, Park Mall shopping centre, listed on the Booking dot com website listing for the hotel, is now a building site. However, you have other huge shopping complexes the other side of Dhoby Ghaut station.
