This is Marriott Hotel with a very beautiful chinese roof. Each time I walked along Orchard Road, it wont failed to catch my eyes. There is a shopping mall below the hotel known as CK Tang, they sell nice designer clothes and bags and shoes. Great place to shop.
Look out for their household items and the promoters in their basement. It is very interesting just to watch the promoters demonstrating their wares. Too bad, I cant take photos in there.

中秋节快了！！！ ：）
an interesting architecture, adapting to the local view!
I love this roof and you have captured it perfectly against that beautiful blue sky Alice.
beautiful capture. very interesting and unique building
I bet the view from there is amazing!
The reason for the chinese roof of Marriott Hotel was the hotel was formerly known as Dynasty Hotel belonging to CK Tang. It was built on a land that formerly was a department store with a chinese roof built just like those imperial buildings in Beijing. The old department store was torn down and a new hotel and shopping mall was built in its place. But sadly, the hotel was sold to Marriott Hotel but the department store still belongs to CK Tang.

Oh this is very pretty. it feels serene, like a place you'd check into... and find a bed!
I'm glad the Mariott constructs buildings in sympathy wit their surroundings. This is a lovely structure. Happy Sky Watch!
This is one building that is hard for one to miss when shopping at Orchard Road! Hee...hee...I like the juice bar counter on the entrance of the hotel. Not sure if it's still there.
Happy Skywatch and a great weekend to you, Alice! And Happy Mid-Autumn Festival too!
this looks better than the marriott hotel in cebu.
