November 24 2007: I was somewhat disappointed by this Le Meridien, as it was not up to the standard I usually expect at their properties. The customer service was good and the included buffet for SPG elite members was excellent, but the rooms were quite old and were nothing special. The location is on the end of Orchard Road, which is the center of the shopping district, but is still a walk from the main attractions. It is not particularly close to the financial district, and there can be relatively long taxi lines in the AM, so location is not ideal for some business travellers. I believe that the rates are generally reasonable, making it a decent value, but if you are looking for a luxurious experience, look elsewhere.
