Palais Renaissance mall: City guide

The Palais Renaissance mall is found in one of the quieter locales of the Orchard Road district, Singapore’s busiest shopping quarter. It houses a range of luxury stores, from CYC The Custom Shop, which offers bespoke men’s shirts, to local outlets such as Tyan, a multi-label boutique which carries a number of exclusive brands. There’s also a wide variety of major international brands, including DKNY and Giuseppe Zanotti.
Once you’ve shopped yourself out, treat yourself to a haircut at Singapore’s most prominent hair salon, Passion, or dine out at PS café, where the desserts are not to be missed. And, if you’re feeling energetic, pop into TAB Singapore, a fantastic music venue that showcases musical talent, both from Singapore and overseas.
