The Lions International Convention THIS coming June 26-30, 2020 will be held in Singapore
Welcome to our 103rd International Convention in Singapore, noted as the second safest city in the world by the Economist Magazine and one of the most expensive cities globally.
LCI is advises that the Elizabeth Hotel will be the Michigan Hotel for Singapore. The hotel is located about 3 miles from the Sands Convention Center and a 20 minute drive from the Singapore (Sin-Changi) airport. The hotel is located uphill from the Orchard Mall (high-end shopping), so consider this if you have a walking challenge. Please check the on-line reviews as you consider this hotel.
Thanks,
