Orchard Towers is an 18-story office building in Singapore located on the corner of Claymore Road and Orchard Road. Construction was completed in 1975. The first five floors are a combination of bars and retail outlets with the remainder leased as offices.[1] During the day the building functions as a retail and office style building, but the building is best known as a landmark[2] entertainment complex famously described as the "Four Floors of Whores" or simply the "Four Floors".[3][4][5] In addition, one of the towers houses 58 freehold condominium residential units.[1]

Orchard Tower houses the Embassy of Romania on the 8th floor,[6] Honorary Consulate of Mauritius on the 9th floor[7] and the Embassy of Cambodia on the 10th floor.[8]
