Highlights

Location: Along the Singapore River, near Clarke Quay

Rooms: 475 well-appointed rooms

Dining: Spices Cafe and Poolside Bar

Wellness: Signature spa and massage treatments

“Here's my take: this hotel attempts to blend a wellness retreat with Singapore's vibrant city life, and mostly succeeds. Its location near Clarke Quay means nightlife is steps away, while the Swiss spa offers a tranquil escape, though the balance might not suit all tastes. I think it is a solid choice for business or leisure.”

Satisfactory stay overall

wide varietybreakfast buffetcentral locationquiet roomstained carpetearly closurepoolineffective hairdryer
The breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options. I appreciated the selection. The location was central to many attractions. It was also close to public transportation. The room was quiet. I could not hear any outside noise.
The carpets near the rooms looked stained. It was quite noticeable. The pool closed early, at 10 PM. I felt this was inconvenient given the weather and humidity. The hairdryer smelled like it was overheating. It also was not very effective.

The hotel location was good. It provided convenient access to nearby attractions. Staff members were friendly, and they were always available. The kids really loved the water slide at the pool.
My room's air conditioning unit did not function well. It struggled to cool the room. The bathrobe in my room was torn. I found it highlighting a lack of maintenance.
