Singapore

Contrary to what its name may suggest, the VHAC is actually in the heart of city, to the west of the riverfront in the district known as ‘Little India’. Rooms and suites are offered in a wide range of different categories, but all are comfortable, impeccably well maintained and furnished; and the staff are unfailingly courteous and efficient. There’s a Jacuzzi (a godsend after sightseeing in the humidity of downtown) and two gourmet restaurants on the premises.
