Colonial District Hotels in Singapore
The Colonial District is one of the first places many visitors to Singapore head, due to its location on the Singapore River and the beauty of its surroundings. This historical district forms the very heart of Singapore, its neo-Palladian buildings lining the banks of the river, and the soaring skyscrapers of the central business district towering above demonstrating how the city celebrates its colonial past, whilst embracing its fast-paced and energetic present. The area not only provides a glimpse into the city's beginnings, but reveals some of the most picturesque perspectives of Singapore, and includes many famous landmarks.
Most famous of all landmarks and number one on our list of hotels is world-famous Raffles Hotel. This Grande Dame of Singapore is renowned throughout the world as a symbol of luxury, its reputation dating back from the days when it counted Charlie Chaplin and Noel Cowards as its guests. A stay in this all-suite hotel with its palm-filled courtyards and breezy verandas whisks you back to this forgotten era. Our number two, The Fullerton Hotel, also boasts a stunning colonial building, as well as an enviable position right on the Singapore River.
Swissotel the Stamford may be housed in a more modern building, but as the tallest hotel in the area, its higher floors boast some of the best views from any hotel room in town, as does its New Asia Bar on the 73rd floor. The next door Fairmont is linked underground via a large shopping mall with several eating options and its own MRT station.
