looking for a 4-5 star hotel. preferably around orchard. what are the best deals you all have gotten or have heard? i know great deals are abound via priceline and due to this post SARS madness.. any tips on hitting up SIA hostesses?? http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif

I just stayed at the Hilton for US$90 a night, which is ok. The Regent is aboout $120 or so.

The Summit chain hotel just off Orchard is quite nice and is just under $100.

The Le Meridian was about $80, but it is too far down Orchard for me.

You can probably do better on Priceline, but it will be the luck of the draw.

As to the later issue, I usually start with, "Hi!"

You need to visit www.BiddingForTravel.com started up by none other than a flyertalker. Pre-SARS, we got Marriott for about $55/night. It was just fine.

best bet would onboard an sq flight,i guess.

however , try your luck at "bar none" in the basement of the marriott , scotts road .
i does not belong to the hotel , so the entrance is outside.

Since this isn't about miles and points, I'm going to move the post to TravelBuzz. Please follow it there.

Thanks,
Gary
