Lloyd's Inn

Five minutes’ walk from the legendary shopping district that is Orchard Road, Lloyd’s Inn Singapore offers a surprisingly relaxed, private atmosphere. This 34-room boutique hotel is a touch on the minimalist side, both aesthetically — witness the clean lines and white-on-blond décor — and in its concept, which is more luxe-residential than classic luxury hotel. That’s not to say it lacks for comfort, just for high-touch faclilities; services include a communal self-catering dining space, a similarly self-serve rooftop terrace, and a garden deck with sunbeds. For full-service dining and nightlife, the neighborhood’s offerings are practically limitless.
