I’d attended a seminar at the Sydney Shangri-La before but never had the opportunity to stay here.
It’s in a sort of weird location right at the corner of the Cahill Expressway and the southern approach to the Sydney Harbour Bridge. So close that my room window allowed me to almost look across the bridge in it’s entirety.

Out by the northern end of the western runway for Singapore’s Changi Airport is Changi Village. A nice area with a hotel, heaps of restaurants and a hawker center all a short walk from the beach.
There’s also a microbrewery called Little Island Brewing.

Close to the Swissotel Stamford and across the road from Raffle Hotel in the newly developed building on top of Esplanade MRT station is a modern area with plenty of restaurants and bars.
One of those bars is called the Alchemist Beer Lab.

I tried The Modern Izakaya previously – it didn’t set my world on fire and I said at the time that I wouldn’t return but I thought I’d give them a second chance to see if they’d improved.

If you like pints of unique beers, at a price that isn’t too far over the odds, then TAP Craft Beer Bar is one place you should visit in Singapore.
