BEST 5 star Hotle in Singapore

[At sea days]

Arriving 3 days before boarding QE WC Singapore to Southampton March 2012. Where did you stay? so many choices St Regis, Pan Pacific, Mandarin Orient or the Fairmont? Read the trip advisor reviews still need help....rather hear from a cruiser...:confused:

Thanks

Is the Raffles still around? Or has it gone to seed?

Raffles is still around. Also, we liked the Shangri-La very much. Beautiful hotel and grounds. I have read a lot about The Fullerton being very good and very central but we haven't stayed there.

If you fancy something a little different from a "could be anywhere" chain hotel, try the Berjaya on Duxton Rd ( formerly Duxton Hotel ) - in Tanjong Pagar- small boutique hotel.

Thanks Salacia for the Raffles link.

 

Boy did THAT bring back memories!

I've stayed at the Ritz Carlton Millennia and thought it was outstanding. it is always on Conde Nasts' Gold List

I've stayed at the Faimont, and it was nothing special-just an average chain style hotel as I recall....I have heard good things re the Fullerton,but not tried it myself...

I have stayed at both the Ritz Carlton - stunning baths with views over the city - and the Fullerton - great lobby, but because it's a conversion some of the rooms have quirky layouts.

I was lucky enough to stay at the Ritz Carlton once. The executive floor is that much nicer...

Stay at the Shangri La - Horizon Club Floor. Have stayed there many times over the last 20 years or so. It is really something special. The Pan and Mandarin rooms are looking a bit tired. The Ritz Carlton is also very nice . Have not stayed in the St Regis but it is in a very good location.

We stayed in Mandrin Oriental for 3 nights dec. 09 . Club room great for use of club lounge free drinks and buffet food from 7 till 9 nightly , airport pick up, inroom check in and late check out , Worth the extra for Singapore Slings alone . Regards Gerry

You mean that there are other hotels in Singapore as well as Raffles?

I am surprised that the op isn't considering Raffles. Raffles is THE place to stay in Singapore, personally, I was a little underwhelmed by Raffles compared to other luxury hotels that I have stayed in. The room, or rather the suite (Raffles only has suites, IIRC), was comfortable, clean and well appointed - top notch. Sadly, the service could have been better, it ranged from excellent to average and I wouldn't expect that in a top establishment, also service was slow, but that's not uncommon for Singapore. I'd definitely recommend Raffles for it's history, and colonial heritage, what better way to start a holiday on a truely British ship (QE) than to stay in a hotel that has preserved a bygone era.

 

Oh, and if you choose to stay elsewhere, do visit Raffles for a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar.
