Artyzen Singapore

Artyzen Singapore

Artyzen Singapore sits on Cuscaden Road, three kilometres from the city centre, close enough to Orchard Boulevard's shops but next door to the quieter paths of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the National Orchid Garden. The 142-room hotel is one of the few hotels in this pocket of Orchard that takes pets, so travellers who won't leave a dog behind can book a Premier King room built for exactly that. Balcony rooms come with a Nespresso machine, a B&O Bluetooth speaker, a Dyson hairdryer and a rain shower, small touches that separate a Deluxe or Premier balcony room from a standard one. The rooftop pool and gym sit above the noise of the street, and a spa handles the rest of an idle afternoon. Downstairs, Cafe Quenino and the hotel bar cover dinner and a drink, and a cooked-to-order breakfast is available each morning for a separate fee. A living plant wall and bike parking hint at a design sensibility the amenity list confirms: this is registered as a design hotel, not a standard chain box. Meeting space runs to 1,141 square feet, useful for a small conference but not built for anything larger. An airport transfer can be arranged for 220 SGD one way, and a 200 SGD daily deposit is taken at check-in. None of this suits someone chasing a party scene or the biggest ballroom in town. It suits someone who wants a considered base near the Botanic Gardens, a room with real design detail, and no argument about bringing the dog. Artyzen Singapore sits three kilometres from central Singapore, closer to the Botanic Gardens than to Orchard's crowds, and is one of the few nearby hotels that takes dogs. Balcony rooms bring Nespresso machines and rain showers, and a rooftop pool sits above it all.
