The Mandarin Oriental have gone all out to welcome me back. Thank goodness this is my final stay here — I’m not sure what they’d do to up the ante next time!
They also brought by a selection of deep-fried vegetable chips this afternoon, which was nice. I’m half-expecting a Geisha to be waiting for me tomorrow!
As loyal as I am to the Starwood group of hotels, I have to admit that I’m pretty impressed with the Mandarin Oriental here in Singapore. The rooms are really well thought out, with lots of little design touches that make a big difference. As I type this, for example, my iPod is being broadcast throughout the room — all the hook-ups are just beside the desk. I’ve got a beautiful view over the harbour, and as hotels go, I’m a pretty happy camper.
Just a shame I don’t get any points for this…
