If you enjoy luxury shopping, be sure to check out Paragon Mall at Orchard Road when you visit Singapore. This sleek, newly refurbished mall is comparable to Harrods’ or Harvey Nichols’ of London in terms of quality and customer service. You can find high-end boutiques like Armani Exchange, Tod’s, and Sisley at Paragon, as well as a great array of restaurants like Lawry’s Prime Ribs, My Mum’s Cuiside, and Shimbashi Soba.

In line with its 12th anniversary slogan “Never Out of Style”, Paragon added a number of international luxury labels this year. New tenants include Canali, Karen Millen, and DKNY Jeans, while labels like Givenchy and Moschino will be opening before November 2010.

To get to Paragon via MRT, get down at the Orchard Orchard MRT Station NS22 and take Exit A. You can also get there by cab and alight at the Paragon taxi stand, which is at Bideford Road. The carpark is also accessible from Bideford Road. ————

If you’re traveling to Singapore anytime soon, don’t leave the country without dropping by the new Sands SkyPark at the Marina Bay Sands hotel, Singapore’s newest luxury resort hotel. The SkyPark was formally launched just last month and floats on top of the three Marina Bay Sands hotel towers, 200 meters in the sky.

Designed by architect Moshe Safdie, the SkyPark is shaped like a boat and has 12,400 square meters of space. That’s longer than the Eiffel Tower laid down on four and a half A380 Jumbo Jets!

Just to illustrate how large the Sands SkyPark is, here is a view of my hotel, the Mandarin Oriental, from the observation deck.

And here is a view of Sands SkyPark from my hotel room! I didn’t need to use a zoom to take this photo – the structure really is that visible.

The SkyPark’s gravity-defying cantilever can hold up to 3,900 people on its observation deck, allowing hotel guests and visitors a stunning panoramic view of the city.

Besides the breathtaking view of Singapore, the Sands SkyPark also has idyllic landscaped gardens that house 650 types of plants and 250 types of trees. A sparkling infinity pool lines the span of the three towers, allowing guests to admire the cityscape while they soak in the pool’s cool waters.

Tickets to the Observation Deck must be purchased at the Box Office in the Hotel Lobby, Tower 3. For more information visit the Sands SkyPark website.————

Singapore’s Orchard Road has several new shopping centers that tourists and locals will surely enjoy. Perhaps the most eye-catching one is the Ion Orchard Mall; after all, it’s hard not to notice a mall that stands 12 meters tall and features such exquisite architecture. This retail mall is said to be the largest public sheltered square with its 117-meter frontage and panoramic observation deck. Strategically located above the Orchard Road Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station, the Ion Orchard Mall has over eight retail levels, four on the basement and four above ground.

Foreign brands like Sephora are already open in Ion, but six yet-to-be-announced luxury super brands will be opening their flagship stores in the future. Ion Orchard Mall won’t just be catering to the high-end market though; there are many mid- and upper mid- stores for the discerning shopper to enjoy.

There’s also the refurbished Mandarin Gallery, an intimate-sized mall that has over 100 retail stores, many of them leading fashion labels and local designers.

The mall’s carefully-selected international brand names include Marc by Marc Jacobs, Just Cavalli, a.i. by Ashley Isham, and Mauboussin, to name a few.

313@Somerset is a mid-market retail mall with 8 levels of shopping and dining. Key brands include the 4-level Forever 21 flagship store, a 3-level Zara store, the largest Uniqlo store outside Japan, and the New Look flagship store. This is the mall to go to if you’re looking for trendy casual apparel.

Last but not the least is Orchard Central, Singapore’s tallest vertical mall. Its soft opening was on July 2, 2009 and stands a proud 12 storeys tall. I normally don’t like going to big malls because getting from point A to point B takes too long, but Orchard Central is divided into clusters with distinct personalities so you don’t have to wander too far:

1. EXCLUSIVE cluster (Levels 2 to 4)
2. FLAGSHIP cluster (Basement 2 to level 3)
3. YOUTH cluster (Levels 5 and 6)
4. HIGH LIFE cluster (Levels 7 and 8)
5. MAIN cluster (Levels 1 to 4)
6. DISCOVERY Walk (Level 1)
7. MASSTIGE cluster (Basements 1 and 2)
8. FOOD HAVEN (Rooftop)

Orchard Central is also very easy to get to; it has links to the Somerset MRT station and the Discovery Walk.

Along Orchard Road, you will notice the changes on the architecture. Old buildings are being refurbished.

Orchard road will continue to be a the fun hangout for most tourists with all these new attractions.
