Padang

Open fields steeped in history

This breathtakingly large and open field found at the heart of Singapore’s central business district is a location known for its history as well as the role it had played in the history of Singapore. This ground which was originally located near the sea has hosted many momentous occasions which shaped Singapore into what it is today. An Orchard Road hotel Singapore is recommended to lodge in while visiting this unique spot and it must be said that the Orchard Hotel Singapore is a hotel Singapore chosen by many for the unique sense of warmth and generosity that it extends out to its guests at all times.

It was in 1819 that it was decided that this particular space located on the banks of the Singapore River should be reserved for public purposes and it was thus that this field happened to witness some of the most significant events that took place in the history of this fascinating country. Since then it has hosted a number of events of august importance including the National Day Parade in 2005 and in 2010 due to The Float@Marina Bay hosting the opening ceremony for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics.
