Singapore often gets criticised for being “boring” by some travellers. Perhaps it is due to the fact these people have chosen the wrong accommodation. A stay at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway ensures you won’t suffer from a bout of boredom during you next stay in the Lion City.
There is no shortage of luxury hotels in Singapore, but sometimes they can lack energy or personality. From the moment you step foot in Hotel Jen Orchardgateway, you’ll realise just how different it is, and that’s a good thing. Everything from the fitness centre to the rooms really stands out with Hotel Jen’s unique personality shining through.
Those looking to mentally recharge while enjoying the view can enjoy Yoga at Dusk, the hotel’s exclusive yoga programme. Held every Thursday from 6:10 pm to 7:10 pm, guests can soak in the twilight while practicing their favourite poses by the pool.
This entire article could be dedicated to the fantastic swimming pool and even then it would not cover just how great of a spot it is. However, Hotel Jen Orchardgateway has a lot more going on and it’s time to move on even if you won’t want to leave BayWatch@Jen.
It could be argued the national pastime of Singapore is eating. The country has developed a highly regarded culinary culture with just about every type of cuisine readily available. The issue for most people travelling to Singapore is there is simply too much to try. Unless you plan on eating nine meals a day, it can be impossible to indulge in at all.
Alternatively, you can head to Hotel Jen Orchardgateway’s on-site restaurant Makan@Jen for their Let’s Makan Buffet Dinner. Here you’ll find the best of Singapore’s hawker cuisine all in one place with portions you can control. There are also plenty of quirks to the buffet, such as the ability to make your own rojak, as well as some less adventurous but still delicious options like fresh salmon sashimi.
Makan@Jen also hosts a breakfast and lunch buffet along with a special seafood dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday night. Be sure to stop by Lounge@Jen for one of the hotel’s signature cocktails before or after dinner. Prices are quite reasonable and the view of Orchard Road is anything but ordinary. There are special promotions held throughout the week for you to take advantage of too.

Final thoughts on Hotel Jen Orchardgateway
What stands out most about Hotel Jen Orchardgateway is that it doesn’t cater to simply one type of guest. We no longer live in a world where you travel either for business or leisure and the hotel does an excellent job of providing a balance. The Wi-Fi is fast, reliable and free and there are plenty of areas around the property where you can send an email or take a look at that report. There are also ample areas where you can sit back, relax and enjoy a break.
The entire hotel has a positive energy that ensures you are never bored. Even when you’re working, it doesn’t feel like work. That fact alone makes Hotel Jen Orchardgateway worth checking out the next time you’re in Singapore.
