Author Description

Unlike other cities in Asia, Singapore is a city that is comfortable with the past, always keeps an eye on the future and yet remains firmly grounded in the present. From historic Chinatown to the designer boutiques of Orchard Road; from bumboats on the Singapore River to the skyscrapers that form the backdrop of a modern metropolis hosting the world's very first Formula One night race, this bustling island-state is a mixture of style, sophistication and high-octane energy. Singapore Chic introduces its reader to the glamour and excitement that is Singapore. Showcasing local designers in traditional shop-houses besides shining new developments such as the casinos of the state-of-the-art Integrated Resorts, the chapters of the book are arranged by districts and reflect the eclectic mix of East and West that is unique to Singapore. Stylish international hotels and elegant boutique hotels will be profiled alongside the country's best restaurants, shops, spas and nightspots. Each profile is supported by a fact box summarising key information, contact details and the distinct features of each establishment so that readers can make a choice that caters best to their particular needs. Singapore Chic is the new 'must-have' accessory for today's modern traveller planning to discover the true delights of a vibrant city that is revamping itself before the eyes of Asia and the world.
