All hotel recommendations have been referenced with customer reviews and we only listed places that have at least a 4 out of 5-star customer review rating.
“A modern, plush hotel with a terrific range of amenities. Unabashedly kooky in a stylish way, this 240-room hotel introduced the chain’s trademark in-your-face flashiness to one of Singapore’s wealthiest ZIP codes when it opened in 2012.”
“The Fullerton Hotel’s contemporary sibling flanks Marina Bay. It’s a light-filled, heavenly scented, deco-inspired number. Rooms are suitably plush, with high ceilings, wood and marble flooring, and warm, subdued hues.”
“The grand old dame of Singapore has seen many a famous visitor in her time, from Somerset Maugham to Michael Jackson. It’s a beautiful place of white colonial architecture, lush pockets of green, and historic bars.”
“With spectacular views over the city and a secluded pool area, the newly renovated Ritz-Carlton Millenia is a luxury option that’s also child friendly.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Singapore.
“A Singaporean icon, Marina Bay has drawn oohs and ahs for its dazzling architecture and its stunning facilities. Each of the sumptuously appointed rooms has floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking views of the city skyline or the South China Sea.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Singapore.
“The stunning architecture at this hotel integrates environmental principles both inside and out; its lush sky gardens can be seen from the street. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows are used throughout to decrease the need for artificial lighting.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Singapore.
“Spread out and framed in lots of cooling green foliage and colorful splashes of bougainvillea, the hotel is a favorite for heads of states and anyone who appreciates its gorgeous high-ceilinged lobby, old-world grace, many good restaurants, and extensive amenities.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Singapore.
“The romanticism of the British colonial era lives on at the six-star Capella Singapore resort designed by Lord Norman Foster. Sprawling 30 acres, the 112-room property lives up to its luxe reputation with extras like a personal butler per guest, a three-tiered swimming pool overlooking the South China Sea.”
“All rooms come with glass-to-ceiling windows and the 32nd-floor lobby is (currently) the highest in Singapore. But the Westin’s crown is the 35th-floor infinity pool that goes neck-and-neck with the pool at the Marina Bay Sands for the title of best in Singapore.”
“A former spice shop and distillery is now The Warehouse, a 37-room boutique hotel. You don’t need to jump in the adjacent river to cool down, either: The rooftop has an aquarium-like pool.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Singapore.
“Funky, compact Klapstar is the antithesis of Singapore’s big brand hotels. Klapstar has just 17 rooms, but it might be the most interesting accommodations in Singapore. Everything about this boutique property has been ingeniously thought out.”
“Step through its heavy wooden doors and a calm washes over you — making this one of the most unusual entrances to a Singapore hotel. A charming — and calming — Chinese-inflected boutique experience in the heart of busy Singapore.”
“The art-filled Vagabond Club, with its own “whiskey library,” offers 41 intimate rooms in the heart of Little India and Kampong Glam.”
