As we step into December proper, the Christmas spirit is making its presence more keenly felt, especially around town. Shops dazzle with colorful decorations. Street markets tout the latest Santa apparel and accessories. But if Christmas throngs are not your cup of tea, consider spending a quiet evening with only your loved ones at the luxurious Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore.

You would be spoilt for choice of a scrumptious feast and festive delights in cosy settings at any of the five-star hotel’s swanky restaurants – The Line, BLU, Nadaman and Shang Palace. And if you ever change your mind and wish to join in the Christmas revelry, Orchard Road is only a good three minutes away. Do make a note in your diary to return for the New Year Eve’s Countdown Party at the Lobby Court.
