Trying To Decide Between These 2 Hotels In Singapore
I'm trying to decide between the Fairmont and Parkroyal on Pickering. The Fairmont has been recommended on the Asia forum and I was wondering if anyone is familiar with the Parkroyal?

Warm Singapore morning greetings to you, iamles, and congratulations on forthcoming Parkroyal stay.
Mind you, have never personally stayed overnight at the Parkroyal (before purchasing a residence in SIN, the Four Seasons was my primary Singapore business travel hotel); will say, every Parkroyal visit to date for dining, libations, receptions: most satisfactory.
And, for cwn, well done on procuring Orchid Club Lounge access; the Parkroyal has always had a favourable reputation for the value of its Lounge entitlements and views. My brief Lounge visits for small receptions and meetings, most enjoyable.
Enjoy your stay in our city-state,

It is not that I do not recommend the Pickering one, I am not a fan of the Kitchener Road Parkroyal and so I tend to avoid them. The Fairmont on the other hand is a pretty good business-like hotel.

Update...
Well, I won't be reporting on the Parkroyal after all! Considering that we'll only spend 1 night before flying to Bali, I decided to save some money and booked the Swissotel Merchant Court. The location is good. We won't be spending time in the room anyway.
Besides, we received a really good upgrade offer from United the other day and couldn't resist flying Business instead of Economy to Bejing, all the way from Florida. Now that's what I call money well spent
