Expert reviews
“Tucked off buzzy Orchard Road, the Standard, Singapore, gives midcentury modern a tropical twist by setting the scene with bold colors, retro-inspired decor, and lush greenery. Art pops everywhere, from Eric Tobua’s surreal reception-desk diorama to Samuel Xun’s larger-than-life floral courtyard sculpture.”

All you need to know
If you’re looking for a hotel that’s as stylish as it is comfy, The Standard, Singapore is a spot that nails both. Tucked away on Orange Grove Road, it’s smartly located between the calming greenery of the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the buzz of Orchard Road, so you get the best of chill and city in one place.
The rooms are designed with no corners cut: think cosy beds with 300-thread count sheets, Nespresso machines, Bluetooth speakers, rain-showers, and views either over the pool or the vibrant street.
What really gives The Standard its character is the vibe. There’s a lush garden space perfect for evenings out, a social-friendly pool scene, and eateries that mix things up, like the Japanese izakaya-style Kaya at The Standard, and Café Standard where your morning coffee smoothly transitions to after-work drinks.

Nice place and in a good location near Orchard Road.
It was in a good location and had nice outdoor space.
The music by the pool was too loud. The room lacked any proper storage for cloths.

Lovely, well designed hotel
The well designed, light room with nice bathroom & comfortable bed plus leafy breakfast area downstairs felt exactly right. Nice variety of food choices. Attentive and friendly staff. Beautiful pool.
The room is gorgeous but for two people both travelling with suitcases, it is difficult to make ´living out of your suitcase ´ work.

I was extremely sick on one of the days and the duty manager personally came to my room to check I was ok
Very modern, lots of green space and great pool and rooms.
The price of food but that’s typical of Singapore I suppose, it was extremely expensive to eat anything at the hotel

Sleek, modern and the staff went above and beyond. I also appreciated being given a corner room with a double window. Attention give to every detail in the room and all the interior finishes a lovely stay overall

There was no proper closet to store your clothes!

Singapore is very expensive but the City works.
Location was excellent. The shuttle service was brilliant and very convenient to take us to the Metro station.
I had erroneously booked an extra day and requested management for a refund which they did not consider my request for a refund.

Great place
Definitely a cool vibe and feels more like a European Hotel. The staff was amazing apart from the people at the check in. They were not really the best at welcoming you.
The staff at the lobby during check in was borderline rude but everyone else was amazing.

Excellent stay!
Very nice vibe, the hotel looks very nice and staff is very helpful and friendly
The only thing we missed was a clothing closet in the room. For longer stays, it’s inconvenient to have to keep opening your suitcase to find your clothes.

Very memorable. I’ll definitely recommend it to others.
The location was great, the restaurant (Kaya) was exceptional, the staff were kind and friendly, the room was cozy and comfortable.
The lack of a wardrobe in my room was quite an inconvenience

- Nice location, quite area and far from Orchard road. - Great staff, they are professional, helpful, and friendly. - The room is nice, not too small and cosy. The bed and pillows were comfy. We slept very well. A special thanks to Louis at the reception, Mimi from the café and the housekeeper who cleaned our room. Sorry, I forgot his name. - Shuttle Bus service to Orchard centre is a plus.
Public transport such as buses and trains are a bit far, they are east 10 to 15 minutes walk from the hotel.

I was genuinely amazed and in absolute bliss at this hotel. Everything is done to the highest standard for comfortable living and for enjoying every detail. The staff are very welcoming, attentive, and exceptionally beautiful, the beautifully designed green garden feels like a tropical forest with playful lighting and a waterfall, a staircase to the second floor, an excellent bar, a delicious breakfast, and a pleasant pool area. It was the first time in my life that I experienced such enjoyment from staying at a hotel. Everything is perfect, everything is selected with taste and elegance. I highly recommend this hotel as a must-visit.

Super funky modern hotel nearby shopping with shuttle to center and gorgeous pool and garden area.
Super Funky modern space and lovely rooms. Nice bedding and pillows! Pool was good size with a swim up bar! Walking distance to the shopping street. Had a shuttle bus to the centre ICON mall and transit esp helpful if you have bags to carry. Friendly staff (but some inexperienced/need training—unsure of how to help (I came down to ask for ice and young woman at the desk said “I have no idea how to get ice” so I said can you ask someone else? after a minute and she did but it was odd)
Just some staff lacking training—as above and also in restaurant. Everything else was fantastic.

Absolutely wonderful
A return visit and I was so happy to return. I felt very spoilt as I was upgraded to the most wonderful suite. It really was absolutely perfect. It had everything you could possibly need. Comfortable bed and for me the important coffee Nespresso machine. I had dinner in the hotel restaurant which was amazing. It was so lovely to be back.

Great location trendy hotel.
The position of the hotel was great within walking distance of the MRT. The room had everything we needed but is very small. The pool with swim up bar is lovely. The team were really welcoming and great with pointing out things to do. The shuttle bus to The Shaw Centre and The ION Centre was great.

Gorgeous serene spot in lush orchard - perfect to explore singapore
The room was lovely, good size and the interior was gorgeous especially the bathroom. Appreciated the black out blinds and the toiletries
There wasn’t enough beds at the pool - recommend adding more beds on grassy areas.

Nice small
Good location with shuttle Bus on site during the day
Very small reception area which got a bit crowded at times

Above Standard
The staff were great! Particularly Suki, who made a good stay a memorable stay. Room was great. I like being an easy walk to Orchard Road. Brilliant to have a little Nespresso machine in the room. Out on a limb, I know, but probably the best shower I have ever had...
The lifts are a little slow, but that's a small point.... I wish there had been a firmer pillow.

Great location and hotel, and lovely staff
Location, clean and staff were attentive
The pillows were too soft for my liking

Stylish hotel with flair
Loved the original design and eclectic style and colourful touches. The pool area is beautiful, with a lovely swim up bar and beautiful ambient lighting at night time. Very clean hotel, the staff do an amazing job at keeping the property pristine and manicured, they are very professional and kind, especially the doorman who was always smiling and welcoming.
It’s abit further 10 min walk from Orchard Road but they have a free shuttle going into town a lot, and to be honest, it’s nice being able to retreat back to the quiet hotel and away from the craziness

Amazing
It is new and very modern property, it keeps up to the standard of The Standard. Restaurant and pool bar are amazing, food is super delicious, cocktails are amazing. And the staff helpful and everywhere.
It is behind Orchard and there is a shuttle service, so if you visit the city, a free ride to the metro is provided.

A lovely quiet location above the bustle of the city.
Compact but very comfortable rooms and a fabulous pool. Staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly.
