Overview
There is so
much more to Singapore than shopping or business and Novotel Clarke Quay
places you in all the action. Nestled in one of Singapore's most active
entertainment areas, nothing is too far away. The conservation area around
us gives an overview of the nation's history as well as a festival village
of cultural sights and sounds. The diversity of activities at our doorstep
is quite remarkable. The natural serenity by day and creative art performances
by night of Fort Canning Park, is a stroll away. Along the Singapore River,
of which we are the heart, you will be awed at the lively collage of wonderful
dining venues and nightspots of Clarke Quay Festival Village, Boat Quay
and Robertson Quay. Chinatown's quaint bargain shops and medicine houses
are just across the river and the happening nightclub district of Jalan
Mohamed Sultan is around the corner. Novotel Clarke Quar is only 10 minutes
away from the CBD and Singapore International Convention & Exhibition
Centre (SICEC). And Singapore's famous shoppers paradise, Orchard Road,
is just a short cab-ride away. You will love how conveniently close we
are to the Changi International Airport - only 25-minutes away.
The Heritage
The life-blood
of Singapore's Heritage is indeed the mouth of the Singapore River, along
whose banks Novotel Clarke Quay proudly stands. The very first Chinese
and Malay settlers peddled their wares along its banks and watched as the
first houses and businesses began in the area that has become the global
financial hub of today. From the time of muddied banks of the river markets
to the entertainment and tourism hotspot it is today, Novotel Clarke Quay
has grown up with this exciting area. The area around our vicinity has
been declared a conservation area as it still maintains the relics of our
rich and diverse cultural heritage as a nation. There is a myriad of old
shophouses straddled by the tallest skyscrapers in the city, museums and
government buildings. This indeed is still the most exciting area in Singapore.
A short walk from the hotel you will let you feast your eyes on sights
that reflect 200 years of history. For a start, the Singapore River still
bustles with bumboats and is home to an endless row of the popular alfresco
eateries and pubs that make up Clarke Quay, Boat Quay and Robertson Quay.
You can also enjoy our "Garden City" by taking a scenic stroll through
Fort Canning Park. And for those who like to party the night away, Singapore's
most happening districts, Jalan Mohamed Sultan, Robertson Quay, offering
pubs with various themes, and River Valley road are right around the corner.
Across the river lies the vibrant Chinatown filled with street vendors
and magnificent places of worship. There is a large number of routes all
around the area which are sure to take you on a trip down memory lane.
You will not miss the remarkable Sri Mariamman Temple - Singapore's oldest
Hindu temple, Jamae Mosque. That is not all, the whole river area is full
of intriguing stalls selling innumerable trinkets and souvenirs. Indulge
in the authentic cuisine of the shophouse restaurants and let the Chinese
medicine experts advise you on their traditional methods of curing all
ills! Those who want to know more about our history will be spoilt for
choice such as the world-class museums - Singapore History Museum and Singapore
Art Museum, Asian Civilisations Museum and renowned Singapore Philatelic
Museum, are around the corner. And not too far off is Fuk Tak Chi - the
oldest Chinese temple in Singapore, now restored and converted to a museum.
