yup. It's lovely. In fact the view from Mandarin Hotel is lovely.

Perhaps, with the new Orchard Turn, the view will be better without much blockage by surrounding buildings. :)

It will be cool to get a top-down view of the revolving pod of the 33-year old Mandarin Hotel from the future Orchard Turn....till then...the Mandarin probably offers the most dynamic views in Orchard :cheers:

Perhaps we can consider splitting ourselves into 2 groups and take pictures of each other from the 2 towers (Mandarin Hotel and Orchard Turn)....:lol::jk::jk:

The construction for The RiTZ has started?

Top floor units from Urbana have great views!

I like this hotel too. Very nice and cosy. Good spot for fireworks and skyline pictures too.

We've tried taking fireworks from the 20th floor ledge without any panel to prevent us from falling to ground. Hotel would make you sign an indemnity form before unlocking the glass door if you want to take such risks. :D

Yep - although it's a classy 5* hotel, it has a bit of a resorty/family/cosy feeling to it, as opposed to some 5* city hotels which feel really snobbish.

I think that's a lot to do with the brand too though: even the Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong has a family feel to it.

Those towers sticking out in the far horizon are in JB :)
