Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore (Chinese: 新加坡香格里拉大酒店) is a five-star deluxe hotel located on Orange Grove Road, Orchard Road, Singapore.
Opened on 23 April 1971, the hotel is the flagship and the first hotel of Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts. The hotel has 747 guestrooms and suites spread over the Tower Wing, Garden Wing and Valley Wing, 127 serviced apartments and 55 luxurious condominium units. The hotel boasts 15 acres of landscaped gardens which are visible through the glass walls enclosing the lobby and dining areas, and has been referred to as "Singapore's other botanical garden". It has also won numerous awards, including TripAdvisor's Travellers' Choice 2012: Top 25 Hotels in Singapore.
The hotel is the annual host of a meeting of defense ministers, permanent heads of ministries and military chiefs of 28 Asia-Pacific states since 2002 that has become known as the Shangri-La Dialogue. On 7 November 2015, the hotel served as the venue of a historic meeting between the People's Republic of China's paramount leader Xi Jinping and the Republic of China's President Ma Ying-jeou, the first meeting between a Mainland China's and Taiwan's leader since the 1949 Chinese Communist Revolution.
Opened in 1971, Tower Wing is the main wing of the hotel and houses the deluxe rooms, executive rooms, Horizon Club rooms and Horizon Premier Suite.
Besides the rooms and suites, majority of the dining outlets in the hotel are located at the Tower Wing.
The Garden Wing, which opened in 1978, is positioned as a tropical retreat in the city. It had deluxe rooms, corner premier rooms, and one- and two-bedroom suites. Besides these resort-styled rooms, there were 15 acres (6.1 ha) of tropical landscaping within the wing which was home to more than 110 varieties of plants, flowers and trees, and which included a cascading waterfall and a koi pond. The Garden Wing also had a restaurant called the Waterfall Café, where guests could dine by the hotel's swimming pool.
