Singapore's Top Hotels

Our Local Expert Says:

One of the most talked about hotels in town

Description:

The Marina Bay Sands hogs Singapore's skyline with its three grand 55-storey towers and boat-like roof structure that presides over the Marina Bay area. The 150m rooftop infinity pool on the 57th floor has been grabbing headlines since it opened in June 2010, its skyline views providing some of the best photo opportunities anywhere in Singapore. Also on the roof is the Ku De Ta bar, restaurant and nightclub complex, celebrity chef Justin Quek's Sky on 57 modern Asian restaurant, and the SkyPark public observation deck. The hotel is linked to an enormous luxury shopping mall, casino, theatre and numerous restaurants, so you need never leave the premises if you don't want to!

Description:

Its heyday might have been around 1912, but this all-suite hotel has become a Singapore icon. This is where tourists flock to savor the Singapore Sling, and the well-heeled and famous seek respite. It lies near major convention centers, Boat Quay and the Financial District. The Grand Dame accommodates the desires of both day-trippers and residents with 13 food and beverage outlets and lavishly gorgeous suites. She might have been somewhat hedonistic, somewhat colonial but she is always faultlessly elegant. For some, Raffles is Singapore.

Description:

The historic Fullerton, which rivals Raffles in luxury and architecture, is regularly voted one of Asia's top hotels. Superb views in almost every direction include the Singapore River and historic district, the city skyline, and the harbor. Built in 1928 as the General Post Office, its location, immense size, and classical Doric columns are testament to its vital role in the colonial government. The restoration and hotel conversion have been done beautifully, with lofty, elegant public spaces and guest rooms cleverly arranged to fit the original structure. Rooms are oases of comfort, stylish and contemporary with flatscreen TVs, PlayStations, large desks, and Philippe Starck fittings in the enormous bathrooms. Facilities are excellent, too, with a state-of-the-art gym and spa and an infinity pool that overlooks the river. Standards of service are second to none. A range of restaurants offer fine dining, sophisticated bars, and a location that's perfect for business and pleasure.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar and lobby lounge; outdoor infinity pool w/view of the Singapore River; health club w/Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam; spa w/massage and beauty treatments; concierge; airport transfers; room service; babysitting; smoke-free rooms; executive-level rooms
