Sandra Scott Travels: Visit Asia’s most innovative city
We have been to Singapore several times and each time I am amazed by something new and unique that has opened since our last visit. We stayed at the newly opened Parkroyal Hotel on Pickering with sky gardens at various levels. Typical of Singapore the area next to the street is lined with trees and the street-length lobby has a meandering stream creating a green environment unique for a city hotel plus it is located across from a small park.
