I just like the pool. Lol. It looks refreshingly off-beat, i have to say.

I'll hazard a guess that William Lim was "inspired" by a similar pool at the Adelphi in Melbourne. The hotel he always patronise whenever he's in Melbourne lecturing. Only thing different is that the pool at the Adelphi is smaller and has a glass base that let swimmers see through to the street below.

huh... so sad.

I wonder if the rooms are interesting and how much this one costs

i stayed there before. the rooms are ok ok.. one thing i couldnt accept is that they use stuff from ikea. but i suppose it may be alright for a 4 star hotel.

That is ment to fit into its theme?

so the prices are not exorbitant?

hows the room service menu?

what is meant to fit into the scheme?

the prices.. i dunno really.. go to its website and check? maybe 100-219 if i remember correctly.

room service menu... i forgot i think its conventional stuff. had some pasta. my mom's church actually had a retreat there and i just tagged along and studied there for o' levels. went back the next day in a cab and lost my phone haha.

your church sure chose an interesting hotel! Actually I think its located in a fairly secluded land charming location :yes:

uh not my church.. my mom's church. i am religion averse.

Erm.... ANYWAY... as i was saying, i think this hotel has really good architecture... yeah... very good.... :lol: :bleh:

All the sides of the building looks different.

The side facing the River mimicks the godowns.

i took 4 photos, but they're basically the same. here's one

evening shot?

I'd like to stay in it someday...

what evening shot? if you're trying to guess what time i took it, i think it was around 5pm.

Any pictures of the inside?

I've got one card that got the following offer for the gallery hotel.....wondering if I should recommend my foreign friend to stay in the hotel........

2nd night free for $180 sounds like a very good deal for the Gallery!

I would so love to stay in it. Besides the location is very charming and within walking distance to Boat Quay via the Singapore River :yes:

Any updates on the watermark?? :?

used to stay there before cos got free room somehow from my friends..
very nice decor indoor but the problem is that we have to walk all the way from the nearest clarke quay mrt station and along the way, it seems to be more deserted and less nice things to be seen while walking..

:runaway:

Yeah....I think the main problem is the location......(I'm referring to distance to MRT)......but I do notice the busstops are quite nearby......:yes:

not just the distance, but also the vicinty as well...

the vicinity is quite eye sore. i can see the grass being untrimmed, the nearby buildings have their tiles pealed off and there are no exciting shops nearby...

4 star hotel leh.....can't expect too much.....:yes:

Any updates on the watermark?? :?

no news yet...but in the short term future that area near Gallery Hotel is going to become one noisy construction site with new projects coming up.

Wah then good luck to the tourist who choose Gallery.....haha....:D But i think hotels in that area might face the same problem.....one I could think of is Swissotel Merchant Court (the Central construction right next door)....:yes:

izzit? never heard about this news !

Theyre now demolishing the old trademart to make way for Rivergate, plus the future Watermark project just in front of Gallery...all the redevelopment....might be noisy at the pool...

I wonder how it look at night in pictures..... :?
