Raffles Hotel
Colonial District & the Quays
The grand old dame of Singapore's Colonial District has had many facelifts in her 121 years and is looking as spritely as ever...
Naumi
Colonial District & the Quays
Lying in the shadow of the Raffles Hotel, Naumi is dressed so sharply in glass and steel you could get cut just by looking. It balances cool looks with lots of silk and leather and fluffy pillows...
Hotel Re
Chinatown & the CBD
Whoa! Groovy baby. Austin Powers would approve of this hotel – but we’re not entirely sure that’s a good thing. This is a ’60s/’70s-themed hotel decorated in loud tones, with silhouettes of Travolta, Abba and the Bee Gees on the walls...
Shangri La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa
Sentosa Island
Singapore's only true beachfront resort is ideal for a short family break...
Conrad Centennial Singapore
Colonial District & the Quays
Squeezed in among other soaring buildings next to the mall-scape of Suntec City is this classy high-rise, where there's little to disturb you during your stay except for round-the-clock room service deliveries...
Pan Pacific Singapore
Colonial District & the Quays
Taking the prize in the flash lobby stakes, the Pan Pacific soars up 35 storeys...
Amara Sanctuary Resort Sentosa
Sentosa Island
The five-star Amara Sanctuary looks like it was transported direct from the pages of a Wallpaper magazine spread with its infinity pool, glass walls and furniture in every shade of 'resort brown'...
Traders Hotel, Singapore
Attached to Tanglin Mall, this hotel has stylish, plush rooms, a lovely cloud-shaped outdoor pool and an attractive water wall running the length of its spacious lobby (flowing at peak times only)...
Link Hotel
Chinatown & the CBD
What else do you do with abandoned art-deco housing development flats? Why, you turn them into a boutique hotel, of course! Rooms in these former walk-up apartments are compact, with wooden floors and views of suburban Singapore...
Changi Village Hotel
Eastern Singapore
Formerly known as Le Meridian Changi, this plush and stylish hotel is a prime candidate for 'most remote' hotel in Singapore...
Rendezvous Grand Hotel Singapore
Colonial District & the Quays
Overlooking Bras Basah Park, the rooms here are a little heavy on the pastel, but well worth it if you can get a discount rate. The interior lobby is quite elegant, and there’s an attractive bar next to a cool, imposing courtyard.
The Ritz Carlton, Millenia Singapore
Colonial District & the Quays
No expense was spared, no feng shui geomancer went unconsulted and no animals were harmed in the building of this 'six star' establishment...
The Quincy Hotel
Very swish, ultramodern rooms come with large double beds and plenty of space. Everything here is included in the price – wi-fi, use of the gym and the glass-enclosed balcony pool, happy-hour drinks and even a slightly gimmicky three meals a day...
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel Singapore
Of the several hotels clustered at the Robertson Quay end of the river (the closest MRT is Tiong Bahru, but it’s not within walking distance), the fanciest is this imposing place...
Riverview Hotel Singapore
Chinatown & the CBD
Excellent value if one of its generous discounts is on offer, this uninspiring off-white tower opposite Robertson Quay has an excellent riverside location and large comfortable rooms...
Orchard Hotel Singapore
The Orchard has a much lower profile than its big-brand neighbours on Orchard Rd and can't claim the same levels of luxury that most of these offer...
Furama River Front
Occupying the old Novotel building, the Furama is swank in every way, from its stunning indoor waterfall to the hip, modern-art decor in the lobby...
Goodwood Park Hotel
This historic hotel, dating from 1900, has an old-fashioned feel but bags of class, from its two beautiful swimming pools to the hotel's pet cat roaming the lobby...
The Scarlet Hotel
Chinatown & the CBD
Markets itself as Singapore's sexy boutique hotel, but the rooms are actually pretty homely – think cottage chic – decorated with lovely wooden furniture, thick drapes and tasteful artwork...
New Majestic Hotel
Chinatown & the CBD
Has some stiff competition from Chinatown's burgeoning boutique hotel market, but still arguably the best of the lot, offering occupants 30 unique rooms done up in a mix of vintage and designer furniture...
Robertson Quay Hotel
Colonial District & the Quays
Probably the best-value hotel along the river, this medieval castle–like circular tower has immaculate but unadventurous rooms with cheesy wallpaper and throwaway wall art, and a surprisingly pretty palm-fringed rooftop swimming pool...
Albert Court Village Hotel
Little India & Kampong Glam
A short walk south of Little India, this is a splendid, colonial-era hotel in a shophouse redevelopment that now shoots up eight storeys. All rooms have the usual mod cons, and include a choice of fan or air-con...
