The Elizabeth Hotel
I had the chance to explore the arts and cultural scenarios in Singapore after the omy.sg invited me as one of the international bloggers that will attend the Singapore Blog Awards 2012. Far East Hospitality made my stay so comfortable as I explore the beauty of the heritage of Singapore because they gave me a free stay for three days and two nights at The Elizabeth Hotel.
The Elizabeth Hotel is a majestic three-star hotel located near the heart of Singapore. It situated in the private and exclusive enclave on Mount Elizabeth. Accessible to the shopping centers, it is also within easy access to the Orchard Road where you can find great installation and street arts. It is truly a preferred choice for leisure travelers like me.

Timeless elegance is just perfect to describe the hotel. The cultivated beauty of its interior is vibrant from the entrance to the lobby, lifts to the rooms and surely this hotel will mesmerize you.
