Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore



From the proximity to Marina Bay via helix bridge, to the imposing architectural presence.

From the top notch service, to the breathtaking view of the iconic Marina Bay Sands and the waterfront attractions from our 17th floor club room.

From the ever distinctive octagonal bathroom windows, to the enthralling glass sculpture at the grand Chihuly lounge.

Form the high end Japanese cuisine, to the exquisite dining at the award-winning Cantonese restaurant Summer Pavilion.

Our stay-cation at the Ritz had been remarkably unique and memorable.

人在香港:UPPER HOUSE

这次在香港逗留了十夜,其中五夜住在金钟 (ADMIRALTY) 的 UPPER HOUSE。
听说谢霆锋和陈奕迅都住在金钟,常常在 UPPER HOUSE下面那栋 JW MARRIOT 酒店餐厅出没,可是我们怎么都没碰见他们呢???

UPPER HOUSE 是香港近期的热门酒店,这次又很幸运被 UPGRADE 到 SUITE,房间面积一共1230 sq. ft.,在香港算是平方比较大了。我们在网上经常听别人评它有多好多好,今天终于有机会让咱们大开眼界了!


从客厅、房间、浴室都能观赏到维多利亚港景 ~ 哇!真的很壮观 ~


我们的 SUITE 刚好坐落在 39 楼,傍晚的时候最适合坐在玻璃窗边欣赏港景了 ~


酒店的顶楼是餐厅和书房,餐厅待迟些再聊,书房面积很大,装饰大体舒服。


一般的酒店大厅摆设的都是一些WATER FEATURE,UPPER HOUSE 的 LOBBY 刚好相反,让我顿时觉得原来 FIRE FEATURE 也可以很有特色!


我有很多喜欢 UPPER HOUSE 的理由,特别是它那 360 度的维多利亚港景,所以我会建议朋友也去试一试。可是跟我们之前住过的 LANDMARK MANDARIN ORIENTAL 相比的话 (点击这里),我跟男人都举脚赞同 LANDMARK 的确会比 UPPER HOUSE 更优胜,服务方面 UPPER HOUSE 真的需要更加加油咯!

袭港记第一篇暂时就到这里,下次再继续!

祝你周末快乐 ~

The Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel

The LMO hotel is the most luxury hotel I have stayed at so far......

It is located at the hub of Central's business district, adjacent to MTR and HK Airport Express stations.
It is the hotel we usually spend a few nights at every time we visit Hong Kong.

I like almost everything about this hotel. From the contemporary design to its legendary service.
The hotel staff were very accommodating, friendly and thoughtful. It just made us felt like VIP celebrity guests throughout our stay at this hotel. The refreshing aroma that came from within welcomed us as we walked in and the oriental music (at the background) was very tranquillising. 

If you are keen to have a harbour view from your room though, LMO hotel may have the view limitation but honestly this hotel has a lot more to offer than just the view. We don't mind it at all.

We stayed at L600 Premier and L900 Suite on two separate occasions, and Alex and I agreed that both rooms offered very distinctive experiences. Overall the room was considerably spacious. 
What impressed us the most was its unique spa experience available in your private room.
You will soon see why.

#1 Classy hotel lobby with aromatic scent lingering within. 
There were plenty of books and encyclopaedias to keep you occupied while waiting for your coach to arrive.

#2 Lift waiting area with marble flooring.

We were humbly greeted by the Japanese duty manager, Miwako upon our arrival.
She was very attentive when she showed us to our room and took a few pictures for us too!
Not long after checking in, we were served with a pot of aromatic rose tea and some tasty macaroons.


On the second occasion, we earned a promotion to L900 Suite. As we walked into the suite, the first thing we noticed was the massive bath/spa tub in front of us! It was terrific!

Yeah... as you can see, the bathroom was completely surrounded by glass doors and windows. 
But don't worry, we did not go naked in front of the windows. The blinds can be automatically turned down for privacy reason. 

And by the way, I like the double sinks and TV to watch while bathing!

#4 View of the front entrance from the other side of the bathroom.

Hm... I didn't remember liking Jo Malone soap much. 
It left my hands feeling really dry after use.

#5 Bubble bath was great... Plenty options to choose from!
#6 Salt for the spa!

#7 The corridor within the room that connected the bedroom to the lounge.

#8 The bedroom and its luxury king-sized bed.
The walk-in-wardrobe was pleasingly spacious too!

#9 The lounge. 
I know the picture does not do its justice here. The room looked better in real life than the picture. 
I didn't know that black tiles could look this good for flooring!

Some miscellaneous items I found in the room. 

#10 Liquor

#11 French olive oil as part of the refreshment on our first arrival.

#12 Coffee machine
#13 MO Bar CDs. 
We had a collection of them!


#13 Double TVs - one in the bedroom and one at lounge, with a nice surrounding sound system too!

The housekeepers treated us French chocolates before bed.
They also prepared us comfy slippers and essential oil for relaxing.

Our stay at LMO hotel have been a serene perfection.

Other reasons why we enjoy our stay at this hotel:
- Holistic Mandarin Oriental spa
- Casual dining at MO Bar
- High-end shopping stores at vicinity

Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur

We stayed at Hilton KL when we were in Malaysia. 
We got upgraded to a suite from the third night for a special reason.
The original deluxe room was very comfy and nicely decorated. The bathroom was spacious and the view from our room was spectacular. For a five stars hotel, the room charges were reasonable with free buffet breakfast every morning.

However....

The housekeeping in our room was shocking. 
The shower head busted in the middle of shower......

......and HENCE THE UPGRADE!

Check out the deluxe room. Marble bath tub offers a true indulgence.

The bedroom looks sensational!

I like the layout of the room. Bar area separates the front door from the main area for privacy reason.

Photobucket

And the study area... The cabinets behind it can store quite a few things, including an ironing board.

Now this is the true luxury.

The suite.

The layout and design of the room are great. I like big windows overlooking the city.

Photobucket

Between the bedroom and the lounge is the study room.
The door behind the study area is actually a walk-in wardrobe.
The cabinets around it are storage rooms.
I would like my house to look like this too!

The giant bed and the giant couch.
I like the walnut colour of the couch. It creates a sense of luxury to the room!

Photobucket

The spacious bathroom is next to the bedroom.
You can slide the door for privacy.
I like double basins. One for Alex to do his shaving. One for me to do my make up.
There is a mini TV on the mirror.
The lighting is also much better than the deluxe room.

Photobucket

The lounge, the cuddly cushions and the big window.

Photobucket

Not to forget the dining area. I like giant mirror in the dining room.

Photobucket

This is another toilet in the lounge for visitors. The red marble around the basin looks pretty impressive, doesn't it?

Hilton KL wasn't bad afterall.
The security around the building was very strict.
The staff were very polite and helpful although the concierge team was pretty under-trained.
The atmosphere at the lobby was very inviting.
The food at its Chynna restaurant was delightful.
The moon cakes at the restaurant were unbelievably delicious.

It worths the value of money we paid.
