|Places| The intoxicating vista from a guest-room balcony at the new Pan Pacific Orchard hotel The Lion City Roars Bursting with fresh hotels and cuttingedge dining concepts, Singapore proves that the more things change in the always-bustling metropolis, the more they stay the same.

It’s home to sensational architecture – both colonial-era and cutting-edge – glow-in-the-dark gardens, world-class museums, top shopping and spirited communities of Malays, Chinese and Indians, all of whom have shaped the local cuisine into some of the most lauded in the world – and these are just a few of the attributes that draw more than six million visitors to the city each year.
