From afar this hotel appears abandoned to rainforest. Greenery engulfs the walls and flows over curved balconies like a layered rice terrace. But within the organic sculpture lies an eco-friendly hotel offering all the trimmings of a five-star stay. Splurge on an orchid club room and enjoy champagne breakfasts, afternoon tea and cocktail hour (it actually lasts from 6–8pm) each day in the exclusive club on the top floor, where there’s a 360-degree view.
The hotel’s just a brief walk from Clarke Quay, Chinatown and the CBD, so you won’t have to travel far on the hot, concrete streets before finding respite in the 300-metre garden walk. And when you really need to chill, perch in a colourful birdcage cabana by the infinity pool.
Standard double rooms start at US$290 per night.
