Hotel is nice enough with a good pool and ok restaurants but not much within walking distance. There is a shopping mall which has a mixture of local and international stores but nothing special (Nu) and Brickfield is atmospheric but slum-like, still has some great southern Indian food. Several new hotels/office buildings under construction near Sentral (e.g. St. Regis).
