[2025 Singapore Restaurant] Travel Guide for Basilico (Updated May)

Conrad Singapore Orchard, located in the heart of the Orchard Road shopping district, is a member of Hilton's high-end hotel brand, Conrad. The hotel enjoys a prime location, adjacent to Paragon, ION Orchard, and other shopping centers, with convenient transportation and only a 3-minute walk from Somerset MRT Station. The hotel has a variety of rooms and suites. The new decoration design is based on a modern and elegant style. Carefully selected artworks and custom furniture highlight the unique taste, and the intelligent control system provides a convenient living experience. The Manhattan bar in the hotel is a representative of Asia's top bars. It has been selected as one of Asia's 50 Best Bars for many years, ranking fourth. The bar is inspired by the golden age of New York in the 19th century, and specializes in classic American cocktails. It has hundreds of gin collections. The signature cocktail, Manhattan Project, blends bourbon whiskey with sherry and homemade cherry bitters to show a retro flavor. The bar has a new wine list every season, and you can also enjoy live jazz music on weekends. It is definitely one of the bars you can't miss in Singapore. The bar area in the hotel's Italian restaurant, Basilico, offers a completely different experience. Here, the Italian dining culture is at the core, and the wine list focuses on wines from Tuscany and Piedmont, with professional sommelier service. Of course, it is better to sit at the bar to taste cocktails. You can directly communicate with the bartender about the flavors you want, and of course you can't miss the classic Venetian Spritz series of cocktails. Different from Manhattan's gorgeous style, the atmosphere here is more relaxed, and it is also one of the must-visit bars in Singapore!

Located in the heart of Orchard Road, the newly renovated Conrad Singapore Orchard was fully renovated in 2023, reinterpreting the luxury hotel experience with contemporary design language. The hotel's exterior is elegant and modern, and the lobby design incorporates contemporary art elements and tropical flair, creating a warm and stylish atmosphere. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, with city views of Orchard Road. The interior design is dominated by neutral tones, with high-quality furniture and artwork, reflecting an understated sense of luxury. The hotel also incorporates Singapore's garden city concept into its interior design, with lobby art installations inspired by tropical plants. The suite I stayed in also had a viewing balcony, which was lush and beautiful. Conrad Singapore Orchard has a number of distinctive dining venues, including the Michelin-starred Summer Palace Chinese restaurant and the all-day international restaurant Basilico. The outdoor pool on the hotel's garden level is surrounded by greenery, creating a resort feel in the city. The fitness center is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, and the spa offers professional treatments. The Conrad's signature Executive Lounge on the 11th floor offers guests a personalized service experience. The dining and service levels are excellent!

#traveldiaries If you have a special occasion to celebrate for a special someone, I would highly recommend celebrating it at Basilico restaurant at Conrad Orchard hotel. My friend and I recently had a blast there when we celebrated my friend's birthday. The restaurant had a grand ambience and service was immaculate. Food wise was an Italian lunch buffet and do expect lots of yummy food fare such as different types of prosciutto/harma ham with sweet melon, juicy tomatoes, pastas and many more. Our bellies were certainly filled to the brim with tasty Italian cuisine. To make our meal even more satisfying, a complimentary birthday cake was presented to my friend and greeted with birthday wishes from the servers. It was a pleasing dining experience at Basilico and we love the personal warm service there, along with the good food.
