Experience the iconic garden-in-a-hotel
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 23/11/2023
» One is never short of hotels in Singapore and I always like to choose one that is near an MRT and possibly with a view of the city or water. The ParkRoyal Collection Marina Bay was a top choice, not merely for its location but also because the hotel isn’t short of restaurants.

Doing Singapore in style
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 28/05/2023
» A weekend break is always nice and it is nicer if it is to Singapore. It is nicest when now and again we remind ourselves of how an efficient world works and this is one of the main reasons I go to Singapore. Breath in the clean air, feel the sea breeze on your face, let your eyes soak in all the green, despite being in the city, and indulge the palate. Though one is spoilt for hotel choices in Singapore, Andaz is a great hotel to begin my post-Covid sojourn in the island-nation, in the heart of the Lion City.
Art de vivre
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 16/08/2019
» Despite the Lion City numerous city hotels it is always hard finding the perfect one. And by that I mean -- close to an MRT, close to good restaurants and close to a bit of street culture. Though Little India fits this description, I find it a tad too crowded. Enter Sofitel Singapore City Centre, a luxurious urban oasis in the city's central business district. Right above Tanjong Pagar MRT station, the location is ideal for discovering Singapore's sights, sounds and attractions.
Celebrating sisterhood
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 08/03/2019
» Festival du feminin is a growing global-awakening sisterhood festival, the 4th edition of which will be held in Bangkok on March 15-16. Founded in Paris, this festival is held in cities all over France and in French-speaking countries (Canada, Belgium, Morocco). It is rapidly expanding internationally (India, US, Colombia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong) with new projects commencing in Indonesia, Vietnam, Kenya and the Middle East. Festival du feminin is a journey of self-discovery that allows women to feel, access and reconnect with the multiple facets of themselves, breaking away from the rigid expectations of peers, parents, colleagues, partners and society at large. Guru speaks to Sylvie Baradel, the Asia coordinator for Festival du feminin.
Dinner under the stars
Guru, Nianne-Lynn Hendricks, Published on 16/11/2018
» With the Bangkok dining scene bursting at its seams, hotel dining has taken a back seat. More so for hotels in the 'burbs. Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao Bangkok is more of a business hotel, with a convention centre attached to it. But, it does have a few good dining outlets -- like Blue Sky. Perhaps the only rooftop bar in that part of town, Blue Sky offers a panoramic view of the suburbs from 24-storey high.
