Marina Square
a shopper’s delight
Marina Square has established a reputation as one of Singapore’s largest and most prestigious shopping malls. Having opened in the latter part of the 1980s, it has the distinction of being the initial building compound constructed on the reclaimed ground at the city’s Marina Centre. With retail space of no less than 65,000 sqm, this immense and stylish modern mall has become one of Singapore’s most visited attractions.
Centrally situated in the picturesque bay area, Marina Square provides numerous dining and entertainment options in addition to its shopping opportunities. The fashion enthusiast will be delighted by the outstanding boutiques available, including such well-known names as Mango, Bershka, Zara, Massimo Dutti and many others. If you prefer large department stores, Marks & Spencer and John Little are the retailers to look for. On the other hand, Japanese lifestyle retailer MUJI offers its special brand of merchandise. With more than 250 specialty outlets, shoppers will be captivated by the options on hand at the mall.
If you want to be pampered, there is a fine spa at the mall as well as a manicure specialist. Shoppers who desire entertainment can enjoy a movie, visit the bowling alley, play pool or try their hand at karaoke. To rejuvenate your energies, Marina Square offers a splendid array of restaurants, cafes and food outlets. Whatever your dining preferences, whether you desire local specialties or international culinary features, there is sure to be something that takes your fancy at this expansive mall.
Marina Square’s central location provides easy access to other city highlights in the vicinity. It is possible to easily visit attractions like the Citylink Mall, Suntec City, the Esplanade theatres or Millennia Walk through the seamless connection of the Marina Link, an integrated basement walkway. These additional shopping, entertainment and dining options mean that you will never tire yourself out in this part of the city. Additionally you will be able to visit the iconic Singapore Flyer, which is located in proximity to the mall. Travellers to the city may make a Singapore hotel reservation at a Singapore city centre hotel such as the Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore. This convenient rest offers comfortable accommodation with a selection of modern amenities.
