Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy, hotel in Singapore, Singapore
Grand Mercure Singapore Roxy is a hotel on the east coast of Singapore in the Katong neighborhood, near East Coast Park. The property contains 576 rooms with modern furnishings in neutral colors, many offering sea or pool views, along with three restaurants, a large L-shaped outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center, and conference facilities for up to 400 guests.
The hotel has been part of the area for some time and was renovated several years ago to maintain a fresh and modern appearance. Its name comes from a cinema that once occupied this site and was an important gathering spot for the Katong community before the building was converted into a hotel.
The name "Roxy" refers to a cinema that once stood on this site and was a gathering place for the neighborhood. The restaurant decor reflects the nearby Peranakan culture with colorful pottery and traditional patterns that tell the story of the Katong area.
The hotel sits on a main road but on calm grounds, with a shopping mall next door and East Coast Park directly across the street. Public transport is available but there is no metro station nearby, so using the hotel shuttle service or renting a car is convenient for quick access to downtown.
The Business Suites feature a generously sized bathtub, which is rare for hotels in this category and is especially appreciated after busy days. The suite is laid out like a small apartment with a separate living area and large bedroom, making it an unexpectedly spacious option in this price range.
