Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore

The Goodwood Park Hotel is one of Singapore’s most prestigious addresses and a five-star property with a grand turn-of-the-century atmosphere. It is situated a stone’s throw away from the vibrant shopping district of Orchard Road and features 233 luxurious guest rooms and suites, two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness centre and several award-winning restaurants where guests can experience Singapore’s finest cuisine.

Conveniently located in the heart of the shopping and entertainment hub of Orchard and Scotts Roads, Goodwood Park Hotel is 10 minutes from the main banking and business district of Shenton Way; making it an ideal choice for both leisure and business travelers. Travel via taxi to Singapore Changi International Airport takes approximately 25 minutes.


Built in 1900, Goodwood Park Hotel began as the Teutonia Club - an exclusive enclave for the expatriate German community in Singapore. In 1929, the Manassehs turned Goodwood Hall into Goodwood Park Hotel, catering to travelling businessmen from Malaya. This 5 star heritage hotel became one of the best-known hotels at the end of the nineteen thirties and among the noted guests from that period was the Duke of Windsor, later the Prince of Wales of England. For over 100 years, the Hotel withstood the ravages of time, endured many transitions and the passing of two World Wars till today, where she stands out as a beacon of Singapore’s rich and cultural heritage.
