Singapore’s Riverside area: The center of it all

For business travelers and expatriates who want to be in the center of it all, the Riverside area of Singapore has everything one could possibly want – entertainment and cultural attractions combined with ease of access to the main commercial and office districts of the central business district and Orchard Road. At Riverside’s heart lies the Singapore River where, on the north bank, Raffles landed and officially founded the colony.

Today, the river is lined with entertainment and nightspots, especially along riverside streets such as Robertson Quay, Boat Quay and Clarke Quay. In addition, most of Singapore’s historical (the famous Merlion statue, the Peranakan Museum and the Asian Civilizations Museum) and cultural (the Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall and the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay) attractions are found in this area.

For the short (minimum of a week) or long-term business traveler and expatriate, the Fraser Place Robertson Walk offers 161 fully furnished apartments with separate living, dining, kitchen and bedroom areas. Amenities include a complimentary shuttle service, baby-sitting, pool, fitness, steam and sauna facilities.

In addition, short (minimum of a week) or long-term business travelers and expatriates also have the option of staying at the Somerset Liang Court which is conveniently located above the Liang Court Shopping Centre. On offer are fully furnished and self-contained apartments with living, dining and fully-equipped kitchen areas plus communal amenities such as a fitness center, pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.

So whether your stay is only for a week or for several months, the Riverside area offers everything a business traveler and expatriate could possibly want.
