Why Fraser Residence Orchard, Singapore, is the ultimate urban retreat for families

Tucked away on a quiet backstreet just off Orchard Road, Fraser Residence Orchard, Singapore offers a surprisingly peaceful retreat amidst the bustle of Singapore’s vibrant shopping district. The apartments, spacious and thoughtfully designed, feature everything you need for a comfortable stay — from Miele appliances to Nespresso machines. Mornings begin with breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the property’s landscaped gardens and swimming pools. Whether you’re visiting for work, a family holiday, or a longer stay, the property offers a welcoming environment that feels more like home than a hotel.

Convenience at your doorstep

A short walk from Orchard Road, Fraser Residence Orchard’s location is one of its biggest advantages. We found ourselves surrounded by everything Singapore is known for: high-end shops, quirky cafés, and toy stores that kept our daughter happily entertained. While we enjoyed the crowds of Orchard Road, the peace of the residence was always just a stone’s throw away. The property is also well-placed for exploring Singapore’s top attractions. Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, and the Singapore Zoo are all a short taxi or metro ride away. But it’s not just about being in the middle of the action — it’s also about having a peaceful space to return to after a busy day.

 

A comfortable base for families

These apartments feel like a proper home, with separate living, dining, and kitchen areas. We could prepare meals in the kitchen, enjoy a quiet evening in the living room, and our daughter loved playing in her bedroom. It’s the sort of place that works whether you’re here for a few nights or several weeks. We stayed in a two-bedroom apartment, which felt perfect for our needs, though larger families might opt for the Four Bedroom Penthouse, which offers plenty of room for relaxation and stunning views over the city.

Everything about the apartments is designed with practicality in mind, from the well-equipped kitchens to the modern entertainment systems. There’s also a certain simplicity in the decor, which makes the space feel uncluttered and easy to live in. It’s the kind of place where you can settle in, even for shorter stays, without feeling like you’re just passing through.

Quiet leisure, when you need it

The leisure facilities at Fraser Residence Orchard are well-suited to families. There are three outdoor pools, including a lap pool and a children’s wading pool. The Sky Terrace, with its sweeping views of the city, is a perfect spot to unwind, and the jet pool offers a quiet place to relax. Being a fitness enthusiast, my husband found solace in the well-equipped 24-hour gym, while those in need of relaxation can take advantage of the steam room or sauna. Our daughter loved the outdoor playground. And with the residence being pet-friendly, families looking to relocate to Singapore will find this property an ideal base to begin life in their new city. 

 

The little things that matter

It’s the small touches that make Fraser Residence Orchard feel a bit more thoughtful than your average serviced residence. Daily housekeeping kept things in order without being intrusive, and there’s the added option of dry cleaning and laundry services. The residence’s convenient location near Orchard Road means you’re never too far from anything, whether you need to pick up something quickly or simply want to grab a bite to eat. An optional breakfast is served in an alfresco dining area with a rotating semi-buffet menu of local and Western options.  

 

An ideal choice for families

What makes Fraser Residence Orchard a solid choice for families is the balance it strikes between comfort and convenience. It’s close enough to the city’s shopping and dining hotspots to make everything feel accessible, yet far enough away to offer a sense of peace and quiet when you need it. For those looking to spend time in Singapore — whether for business or leisure —Fraser Residence Orchard is an easy place to settle in and make your own for a while.
