The Central Business District (CBD) is the pulse and heart of the city in Singapore and consists of three regions; Orchard, Riverside and a large part of Chinatown. Together these three areas form the core financial and commercial districts of the city. The two main roads in the area are Shenton Way and Robinson Road, both of which are populated by towering skyscrapers.

This thriving area as a result provides visitors a plentitude of attractions to visit. Orchard Road offers miles and miles of shopping malls that guarantee any visitor to find what they're looking for. Singapore is famous for its shopping and Orchard Road as its primary shopping venue that does not disappoint.

Riverside is also known as the civil district and features a range of museums, restaurants, bars, theatres and statues for guests of the city to visit. One unique attraction in the CBD is Boon Tat Street that is closed to traffic in the night, and becomes a sensational dining attraction with chairs and tables being brought out for an evening with sensational food.

Besides shopping, with Riverside's rich number of art related attractions, the CBD is also home to various statues and sculptures that are scattered throughout the area such as the newly restored Merlion (Singapore's tourist symbol) in Merlion Park.

Staying in a Singapore hotel near the Central Business District such as the Copthorne Orchid Hotel Singapore, provides access to the rich diversity of locations in the country and makes your visit just that much better.
