NEW Ginger – Buffet Restaurant at Parkroyal on Beach Road

A mid-size property with only seven floors, it does not boast of a stunning grand lobby or the most opulent of dining experiences.

It is one of three Parkroyal hotels in Singapore and arguably the best value of the three – I will explain later why. During a recent weekend, I checked out the Parkroyal on Beach Road via a stay in one of its Premier rooms.
