Paramount Hotel in Singapore City

Hotel Reports

• Exterior - The hotel was once a landmark in the Katong area but has since been shrouded by newer and taller building. Still the distinctive white hotel is recognisable by the balconies that hang from every room.
• General - Located in a historical residential area with shopping, the hotel has an air of old world charm mixed with that tropical resort feel.AC 3/2003
• Lobby - The driveway rises up from the ground floor up to the first level. The lobby is large with marble flooring and a lounge opposite the checkin desk. The lifts are adjacent.
• Location - Located within the East Coast of Singapore, the area is known for the residential districts of Katong and Joo Chiat. These are historical areas, circa 1930's on, famous for its Peranakan culture (Straits born racial mix of Chinese and Malay) and the infamous Peranakan cuisine. It is also close to the East Coast Park which is a coastal park for everthing from sailing to cycling.
• Restaurant - Their all purpose restaurant the Cafe Vanda, is a popular stop even for the locals. Although they serve an international menu, they are most known for the Pernakan cuisine. It is basically a mix of Chinese and Malay cuisine and can be spicy. This can only be found in Singapore and some parts of Malaysia.
• Rooms - The hotel was built in the 70's and is a little past its hey days. Rooms come with a balcony and depending on the facing, one will have views of the city or the historical Katong area. Rooms although not of the most modern design are spacious and bright and are in very decent condition.
