Goodwood Park Hotel

I always enjoy staying at Goodwood Park Hotel, Singapore. The hotel has a unique atmosphere that sets it apart, and the rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated, and very well maintained. The hotel location is just great, a few minutes walk to the city centre. The team is exceptionally friendly — they even recognized me as a frequent guest, which truly made me feel at home. Dining here is a highlight: Min Jiang serves some of the best Chinese food in Singapore, and Gordon Grill remains one of my personal favorites. Overall, it’s a place that combines comfort, great service, and outstanding cuisine.

Staying here feels like living in history while enjoying modern comforts! The history of this hotel is fascinating, and its location offers a perfect balance of tranquility and convenience. The staff are well-trained, courteous, and genuinely attentive. I would first like to commend Ms. Alecsandra at the front desk. She was thoughtful, friendly, and went out of her way to help me print some documents and mail a letter. Despite my rather detailed requests, she remained patient and cheerful throughout, taking the initiative to find the best solutions for me. Her professionalism and warmth made me feel truly at home, and strengthened my trust and affection for this hotel — as well as my confidence and enthusiasm in recommending it to friends. I would also like to mention another excellent staff member — a middle-aged gentleman in a black suit who was working at the front desk around 1 p.m. on the 21st. He handled my inquiries with calm professionalism and efficiency. I could sense his pride and genuine passion for the hotel. I’m sorry I didn’t get the chance to ask his name.

We enjoyed a wonderful family holiday stay at the Goodwood Park Hotel. From start to finish all staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly. Breakfast was a highlight each day with the staff making the experience extra special. The Gordon Grill is highly recommended for fine dining at a relatively reasonable price. Luxury in a beautiful historic building in a prime location.

Goodwood Park is a heritage hotel which prides itself on service; we had an experience that validated it. Our wedding was held in the Windsor ballroom, which also gave us 2 nights in the bridal suite. It was nothing short of amazing; it was heritage but not dated. There was so much character to the hotel, from the rooms to the ballrooms, and we were impressed by the impeccable maintenance of the place. We felt at home, comfortable and well taken care of. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. Stephanie handled our booking. Knowing that she only had a short timeframe to work with, she took it upon herself to make sure that we knew what our options were and was on our side to fight for the best possible arrangements. She helped to smoothen the processes between us and the hotel, bringing professionalism and friendship that we could not have imagined to have. We experienced next to no obstacles to our desires. She was also there every step of the way, ever so attentive to our requests and questions. The wedding dinner would not have been possible without her expertise and help. We got to know Thomas from front desk as well, who had so much enthusiasm and a strong problem solver who took on guests' issues as his own to solve. His versatility helped us to achieve a key component to our wedding, which would have given us alot of trouble if it wasn't for his help. Also, we'd have to say that his penmanship is impeccable, the personalised card that we got from Thomas is what we would cherish and remember for our wedding night and stay with Goodwood Park. During the wedding dinner itself, we were assisted by 2 banquet managers (one of whom was Steven). They were impressive, and made sure our event went along like clockwork. They were there every step of the way, from the first march in till the end of the night, making sure that we were well taken care of, while also ensuring that our guests were duly served. We had so much nerves before each of the march ins, and we were personally reassured by Steven who was there to guide us along and assist us. His care towards us extended beyond the banquet itself, with him ensuring that we got our meals (and the wine and wine glasses for some of our guests who stayed behind with us). Not forgetting our food; we received so much compliments for them. All the items were good hits, and firsts among equals were the truffle prawn, roasted silver hill Irish duck, steamed fish, etc. We would also mention that on our second night we returned late to heavy rain, and a staff member (whom we missed out on getting his name) situated at the front desk noticed our car and rushed out to assist us, providing me with an umbrella for my walk back to the hotel. We had suits and silk ties that were laundered with the hotel as well, and we missed the timing for 6pm return on the same day; a kind staff helped us put a rush on the laundry to ensure that they were returned by check out timing the next day with no extra charges. We are throughly impressed at the attention to details that each of the teams in Goodwood Park brought, and we regret not being able to personally know and speak to every one of them. Their attentiveness is a testament to their passion for service, making our wedding dinner and stay with Goodwood Park deeply memorable! We'd wholeheartedly recommend Goodwood Park Hotel, be it as a wedding venue, or as a holiday stay! Thank you Goodwood Park Hotel!

We had a wonderful time here. Our rooms was upgraded, pretty big with an extra bed. Mr Aslam was very accommodating and helpful cos I am with young children (1 with ASD). 1 of the best hotels we stayed as good as SHANGRI-LA too.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Miss Cheong was amazing! She provided excellent service when helping me with my cake order and was super friendly throughout. She made me feel so comfortable the whole time, and even offered some cheese and lemon on the side for my scone — such a sweet and thoughtful gesture! The company is really lucky to have her. I truly enjoyed my experience, it completely made my day! 💛

We had a great time at the pink high tea. Spread was extensive and generous. Most importantly, the staff in Goodwood Park Hotel are very friendly and super courteous. Everyone will nod and smile if you walk past them, hardly experience this in other hotels. Would like to thank my server, Coco Zhang, she is super courteous and very friendly, not a hint of hesitation. Thank you so very much. :)

Enjoyed the Delicious premium steak at Gordon Grill. Whether you're here for a casual meal with friends, a business lunch, or a special celebration, Gordon Grill delivers an unforgettable steak experience. Been returning every year for my birthday celebration. The steakhouse has a cosy, modern atmosphere and friendly service - makes this the perfect steak place for a delicious meal.

A hotel with history. Main building is 100 yrs old and it also has a side building with loft type service apartments. Staff are friendly and this hotel offers a wide range of food choices, from Japanese, Sichuan, Thai, and western style. Located next to Orchard, with all the shops, restaurants, super markets, etc around. Convenient communication to most places, as it's close to the Orchard MRT station(3 min walk). Definitely would recommend to for biz and tourist visitors.

The stay exceeded expectations and exceptional service from the staff treating me above and beyond expectations

Absolutely CHARMING hotel! At the advice of a friend, Husband and I made Singapore a sort of pit stop en route to our honeymoon destination, to acclimate to the time and weather. I must say that I mistreated you, Singapore. You're a destination all by yourself. I was initially drawn to this hotel by the name :-P. C'mon...it's my honeymoon!! Ok, mind out of gutter now. I'm not a big fan of high rise hotels, and I appreciate old colonial architecture. Goodwood Park has both those attributes. Our flight arrived at 7am. Normally, check-in is at 2pm. The front desk graciously allowed us early check-in, free of charge! We must've looked pitifully tired, or more likely homeless and they didn't want us loitering in the lobby. Whatever their reason, after 21 hours on a plane, Husband and I were SUPER appreciative of early check-in to take a shower and catch some blissful z's on a bed. Wifi is fast and dependable. Even better, the room comes with a cell phone - calls to the US are included. Ceiling fan in the room could use a little WD40, but the creaky noise kinda went with the old-school charm haha. Unfortunately, we didn't get to eat on site. We were so out of it, we missed restaurant hours. Thankfully, Far East Plaza is next door, a bazaar of all sorts, including a life-saving 7-Eleven. Location is fantastic. It's within walking distance of Orchard Road, Newton Hawker Centre, and a movie theater where we caught a showing of Avengers: Infinity War.

It was my wife's mission to try all the durian moon cakes during our trip to Singapore. Unfortunately, due to our limited time she ended up only trying the top 2 rated durian moon cakes in 2014. First up was the Marriott's which she thought was good until she tried Goodwood Park's black thorn moon cake. I'm not a fan of durian but she savored every bite of the two she bought. If only these things would keep for more than 3 days in the freezer and if we had enough dry ice to last for the trip back to the U.S. I'm certain she would try to smuggle them back. She didn't try the MSW version as she would have had to eat all 4 herself and it was the black thorn that took the crown for the best in 2014. To quote her...Goodwood Park definitely has "the best of the best durian moon cakes." I'll just have to trust her on this. If you are a fan and want too see what the hype is all about...head straight to Goodwood Park for their black thorn moon cake.

Just commenting on their deli on the main level... Durians puffs!!! And possibly the best mooncakes in Singapore. And of course, the annual Durian fiesta-- a buffet of entirely durian based desserts. What could be better? I honestly can't think of anything! Besides that, Goodwood Park is an absolutely gorgeous, historic hotel, in the vein of the Raffles Hotel.

Quiet cozy heritage hotel at the outskirt of Orchard road. Location is super convenient if you are intending to be around Orchard. There's a bus stop outside that you can catch a bus to Newton food centre. Or walk down to the Orchard MRT station that leads you to other part of Singapore. The service crew were great and helpful. They knew that our room is not at the main wing, thus offering a buggy to bring us there. The parklane suite that we stayed is big enough for 2. There's a huge fridge hidden in the kitchen's built in cupboards. There's microwave, oven that you can whoop up a meal! There's even a dining table that I can have a meal at. It's simply like a studio apartment. Perfect for people who are here for work. The door is alittle creaky given its age. This suite is due for an upgrade. Goodwood park has a number of dining options that you can dine in. There's an alfresco seating are at L'Espresso, which is facing the swimming pool. It is clean and inviting.

Sometimes in life you get an opportunity to indulge in luxury and my trip to Singapore was one such opportunity. When trying to figure out which hotel I should make my home-base during my stay, there were so many options that my head began to spin. Then as I narrowed the choices down one by one, the Goodwood Park Hotel kept calling me. There is so much history behind the hotel that it is considered a heritage hotel. Not to mention that it is also a five-star establishment that is frequented by individuals with much deeper pocket than mine. So, the frugal and smart traveler that I am, I was able to enjoy the lap of luxury for an (slightly) affordable price. For the experience, the service, and comfort I couldn't have done any better. I arrived at the hotel for a late check-in. The front-desk concierge was welcoming and friendly. He knew that I was tired and expedited the whole check-in process. The manager on duty that evening happened to be at the front desk and proceeded to give me a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite. I didn't do anything but say good evening to the gentleman and he went out of his way to make my stay even more memorable. My suite was located next to one of the swimming pool which allowed me to take a dip either early in the morning before I explored Singapore or late at night to relax my aching body. The suite that I was upgraded to consisted of a living room, a master bedroom and two bathrooms. The master bath was beautifully adorned with marble with a tub and shower on opposite ends. It was one of the largest master bathroom I've ever seen in a hotel. The guest bathroom was also just as beautifully adorned and was located next to the living room. The master bedroom consisted of a king size bed and incredibly comfortable ergonomic pillows. The room was also equipped with a coffee maker while the living room had a portable espresso machine to start the day off right. I could go on and on about how great this hotel is but seeing is believing. I hope that travelers looking for a place to stay while in Singapore seriously consider Goodwood Park Hotel. It may not be the cheapest option, but it surely is one of the more memorable ones. And because of that, I have no qualms about staying here once more when I make a return visit to Singapore.

If you are looking for a unique durian moon cake then you MUST come here. They have a black thorn durian snowskin moon came. Omg is it amazing. The flavor is nothing I have tasted before. My mouth was so happy I had to do a little happy dance. They do sell other snowskin moon cakes but the one complaint I had is you have to buy minimum of two pieces for each flavor. They did have assorted four piece but flavors are ready set. They allowed you to sample everything but the black thorn durian one. I did not sample their traditional moon cakes but must be very good because shelf like is just 5 days. No preservatives added. When I go to Singapore again I will be back doe more of their snowskin moon cakes. This time I am going to have more than just two. Highly recommended the black thorn moon cakes!!

Been here at least thrice over the years. Excellent suite for parties. The room is clean however the TV needs some upgrading. Giving a higher rating for the great memories developed here. The location is in town and Goodwood park is known for their durians mooncakes during the season. There is something about family styled hotels that is both nostalgic and comforting. so yes do patronise

While Goodwood Park may be famous for their durians, do you know that they sell pastries and bread too? Occasionally, I do make trips down to the Deli shops to check out if there is any new items and most likely I would not go back empty handed. Here are some of the items the month of March The Vanilla Raspberry Charlotte ) is a creamy vanilla mousse layer which sat on top three Swiss rolls that are filled with raspberry jam. The mousse layer was faultless but the rolls at the base were a little too sweet. Pandan cheesecake truly surprised me with a lighter than NY cheesecake texture but yet not too mousse-y and airy like the Japanese style. Furthermore, the red beans that are studded on the sponge base were big like kidney beans but not too sweet. The aromatic pandan smell simply whiffs into your nose in every bite.

Had my very first Cronut from the bakery here today. Oh sorry... Dou-ssant. Yea.. sure. Cronut. It was filled with the custard. This tasted divine and I feel incredibly guilty for having this delectable treat. The bakery also offers yummy durian pastries worthy of the stink bomb durians emit. I like the one with macadamia nut crumble. I've been coming to Goodwood Park hotel growing up in Singapore in the 90s. High tea at both the coffee lounge and deli lounge, dim sum at Min Jiang, and Taiwanese porridge at the coffee lounge for suppers with my family. This hotel is classic and a mainstay on Scotts Road. I hope this hotel remains the same for many years to come. Its always nice to revisit old haunts that have remained the same. When so much changes in Singapore since I last lived here in 2001, I am thankful that Goodwood just made minor upgrades to keep up to date but not lose its old school flavor.

*everything Jonathan said* There are so many places famous (or "famous") for durian confectionary that I've given up trying to keep track. Goodwood Parks' coffeeshop is the one that innovates every year--one of their stalwarts is their durian cream puff (solid durian flesh tempered with a bit of cream, not a drop of icky artificial flavouring to be had), which I find to be a less-aggressive way of introducing foreign friends to durian. They introduce new pastries every year too--not all of them work (durian cream in a white chocolate shell? ok lah, but I'd rather just eat the durian, you know), but hey, it's always fun to try something new! For non-durian lovers, I strongly suggest their chocolate mud cake. ZOMG

Awesome high tea! I visited twice some years back in 2011 - first for a friend's wedding where there was a high tea reception. Excellent choice of cakes and Asian theme desserts. The 2nd time was even more unique, I went for the unlimited ala carte evening buffet, which had Chinese porridge, wonderfully sliced fish, a beef dish that was excellently spiced and a nice selection of local dessert dishes. The atmosphere was super - this is one of a few historic buildings left in Singapore that are preserved in the old colonial style, and the external facade of the hotel is one of the images most often associated with postcards from Singapore!

Gorgeous - very paradisical! 2 Lovely pools and we had a ground level balcony room for 2 nights. Tasteful and sedate - not as flashy as the Shangri-la chains. We were given the option of a free upgrade to a bigger room at check in but opted for the ground floor balcony room. Free internet, adequate breakfasts and the steak in The Gordon's Grill restaurant was out of this world and delicious. Very happy - I could have stayed there for a week. There is a terrace at the back of the lobby so it's handy to have a cigarette.
