Along the 2.5 kilometres of Orchard Road the great malls stand side by side: ION Orchard, with more than 300 shops and restaurants and the flagships of the international fashion houses; Ngee Ann City and Takashimaya; Paragon; and Tangs, founded in 1934. We arrange a shopping companion who takes you straight to what you are looking for, and request private appointments where the house allows them.

You move between them in a car waiting at every entrance, and your purchases can be sent on to your hotel. End the day at ION Sky, 218 metres up, or with a short walk in the Botanic Gardens at the end of the road.
