Novotel Clarke Quay, Singapore

Clarke Quay, the famous nite spot @Spore. Even with the new-hot-spot of Marina Bay Sands, Clarke Quay has never faded in term of its charm. It still has its own fans who like to dine or simply chat over a beer or two, overlooking the river. The spot is still packed with alfresco cafés or pubs, which make it difficult to get a best seat on the weekend, especially when the clock is closing in to midnite. Not to mention the sight-seeing-boats which cruise along the river, surely add certain allurement. The very same view which makes me back here every time I come to Spore.

For accommodation, we always stay @Novotel Clarke Quay. Despite the tiny minimalist yet neat room, who could resists the benefits offered by its location? 5mins walking from MRT Clarke Quay, with Central mall nearby, and if you are lucky, you can get the riverbank view from your hotel room. Simply a splendid view at night (betcha!). Beside, Novotel also has many more in store, Square restaurant that offers breakfast buffet at reasonable price, small yet nicely maintained swimming pool, to name few facilities there. There is a supermarket on the same building as well.

For entertainment, we can go to Clarke Quay which normally holds an event during the weekend. I remembered last year, there was a Turkish food festival being held there and this year, we had Tiger’s football challenge. The host’s assistant was asking me whether I would like to participate in the game…WHAT??? You expected somebody who never touched football to kick the ball around few obstacles and make a goal…geez (sorry football fans…no hard feeling). There was Bollywood festival too where all the Indian folks were dancing and singing on the promenade. Surely entertaining!
