The Hotel Indigo Bangkok Wireless Road first opened earlier this year along Wireless Road - where Thai radio was born. The hotel draws inspiration from the immediate neighbourhood in the vicinity and these elements trickle down to the design, food and beverage, amenities as well as services rendered in this beautiful property. I stayed at the Conrad Bangkok the last time I was in this city so I decided to stay in a different property but still along Wireless Road as it is extremely convenient to get around (without having to deal with the congestion in Siam). 

To take advantage of one of Golden Circle's targeted offers, I decided to spend two nights at the Hotel Jen Orchardgateway once again but only this time it was in a Deluxe Room instead of the luxurious Premier Panorama room. Barring the club rooms, there are generally three main room types: Superior, Deluxe and Premier Panorama. The Superior rooms are the most basic of all while the Deluxe rooms have a little more space and it also comes with a bathtub. 

The Pan Pacific Orchard is the Pan Pacific Singapore's less famous sibling and it is tucked away quietly in Orchard while still being minutes away from one of the world's most famous shopping strip. The hotel can be quite easily accessed if you are coming by MRT - hop off at Orchard Station, take the underpass, exit at Shaw House (Lido), make your way down to Palais Renaissance and you will soon find yourself at this private little hotel. 

The Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore that is located within the quieter end of Orchard, along Cuscaden Rd (right across from where the Regent Singapore is). For the older generation and many Singaporeans, Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore occupies the previous Traders Hotel (also by Shangri-La International Hotel Management Ltd) and it is currently undergoing a major refurbishment and transformation process to conform to new brand standards and expectations. 

I visited the Dorsett Singapore last year and stayed in one of their newly-appointed Loft Rooms. Located just three minutes walk away from the Outram Park MRT Station, the Dorsett Singapore offers affordable accommodation in a charming location. If you have been putting off the idea of visiting the restaurants (and bars) along Keong Saik just because it is slightly inconvenient, this hotel would be an excellent place to spend a weekend in - particularly because everything is just a short stroll away.

Check out my stay at the beautiful and luxuriously-finished One Bedroom Premium Suite at the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road. The Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road actually has a hotel license and this means you can actually do a weekend staycation here. Even though there is no one week minimum stay requirement here at the Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Beach Road, a 2-night stay policy is usually in place (although I have seen this being lifted many times). 

The Mandarin Oriental, Taipei is the most luxurious hotel in Taipei. After having stayed at the Mandarin Oriental, Singapore multiple times, I have fallen in love with the brand that epitomises the legendary service that is well-known for. The Mandarin Oriental, Taipei is located within Taipei's most established business district (Dunhua North Road) and it is famous for the lush canopy of trees in the vicinity. Check out my stay in the Club Deluxe Room at this opulent property.

I have been to Taipei many times (even before I started writing) and I love the city for the delicious street food, orderliness and friendly people. In fact, I am writing a whole series of food articles around Taipei that you should definitely check out! There is no lack of boutique and affordable hotels around Taipei but if you are looking for an international brand, I may very well have stumbled upon the best one in this beautiful city - the Grand Hyatt Taipei.
