Our favourite family-friendly hotel chain Far East Hospitality has once again wowed us, and this time, with their super huge Family Suite! For most hotels, a big hotel room can cater for a family of 4 comfortably. But what if you have 3 growing kids like us? The choices are not many if you wish to book only one hotel room. So far, we have been pretty creative in moving furniture around to fit the 5 of us because we wish to save the cost of a second hotel room and also we prefer to have all 5 of us together. I must say Orchard Rendezvous Hotel’s Family Suite solved our problems. Not only does it accommodate all 3 kids to a bed each, but the kids could also do a few cartwheels in the room too! Can you imagine the size of the room??!!
Where is Orchard Rendezvous Hotel???
If you are wondering where is Orchard Rendezvous Hotel, it is formerly known as Orchard Parade Hotel beside Forum Shopping Mall, located in the heart of Orchard Road. It is just a 5-minute short walk from the Orchard MRT station and Singapore Botanic Gardens. Since 19 September 2018, it has been refurbished and started its new journey as the second Rendezvous property in Singapore. Retaining its heritage, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel incorporates pepper plant motifs throughout the hotel interior. Drawing inspirations from the neighbouring Singapore Botanic Gardens, the hotel offers guests the chance to connect with nature and discover the Romance of the city, the culture and life.
One very special thing about Orchard Rendezvous Hotel is that it has a commissioned orchid on Level 6 at the Outdoor Swimming Pool area. Named Vanda Orchard Rendezvous, the orchid is a two-toned cross-hybrid of Vanda Pieces of Eight and Vanda Rasri Gold. Vanda Orchard Rendezvous is also the first orchid commissioned for a hotel in Singapore by OSSEA.
Now, let’s take a look at the hotel charm that blends heritage and nature!
In most of our staycations, the kids would spend more time at the pool than the room, but not this time round! The luxurious and spacious suite had kept everyone in the room simply enjoying the comfy beds, smart TV, doing cartwheels, running around, enjoying bathtub, watching the Orchard Road passersby and admiring Christmas lightings from the balcony.
Let’s take a tour around the hotel facilities now!
Where for Breakfast?
You will be surprised that the hotel ties up with the famous and trusted household name restaurant, Modestos, for breakfast!
Just the night before, we had a really good dinner at Modestos. The food was really superb! Even the kids exclaimed that they have never tasted such good mushroom soup, delicious Carbonara, strawberry milkshake, pizza and desserts! I have a soft spot for strawberry milkshake, and I can tell you that I will certainly return frequently even if it is just for milkshake takeaways! And you may wonder what’s the big hoo ha about Carbonara. Well, you must really try it once to believe that Carbonara can be this good!
If you have young children, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel Family rooms will be a good option because they have bunk beds available as one of the bed configurations. And if you have 3 growing kids like us or travelling with grandparents and wish to stay in one room, Orchard Rendezvous Hotel Family Suite will be the one to book for your staycation or travel. During our stay, we were told that all the 30+ family rooms were full! It looks like Orchard Rendezvous Hotel family rooms are indeed popular! Perhaps the industry is really lacking in large family rooms and we are glad and honoured to be able to stay in one and share our experience with all of you!
