Orchard Road
Singapore's Champs-Élysees stretches 2.5 kilometres long and is said to have the largest concentration of shopping malls worldwide. Originally a nutmeg and pepper plantation, Orchard Road today is lined with ritzy malls, swanky eateries and luxury hotels from end to end. The more notable shopping centres include Ngee Ann City , Tangs Department Store , Wisma Atria , The Heeren and Centrepoint . Nevertheless, some old portions of the street have managed to escape the bulldozers, particularly the peranakan shophouses near Emerald Hill , built at the turn of the 20th century.

Places to Stay:

Fragrance Hotel (2 Stars, $35 to $44/night)
Although in the so-called red light district of Geylang (I saw little evidence of that) Fragrance Hotel is clean and quiet. That's about it. Internet is about the only facility. Still, good location for eating and getting around. Good value.
