Pan Pacific Serviced Suites



The Pan Pacific Serviced Suites are on the right ( http://www.panpacific.com/pan_pacific_service_suites_singapore/ ). Building on the left is the Orchard Building (blocking Cineleisure Orchard from sight). Building behind that is the Mandarin Orchard Hotel, with its distinctive canoe top.

Near Somerset Station, behind Orchard Road. The serviced suites have a cool-looking design, but I'm wondering what the curved bottom few levels, without windows, are. That's the recurring issue with architecture. The most efficient design is a rectangular block, but that's boring. More interesting designs always end up wasting space. 

Serviced suites (also called serviced apartments) are a cross between a hotel and an apartment. They are short-term rental apartments or long-term rental hotels (weeks or months). They are furnished and cleaned by staff like a hotel, and have a kitchen like an apartment.
