Overwhelmed with work and everything around you? It’s time for a swanky staycation in Singapore! We love our beautiful, design-centric boutique hotels.

From Sentosa to Changi Airport, Marina Bay to Orchard Road, these fancy five-star hotels are worth that extra dough.
Best five-star hotels in Singapore
The St. Regis Singapore
Crystal chandeliers, exquisite private art collections, lush red designer fabrics… it’s hard not to marvel at the grandiose setup. This is, after all, one of the key luxe hotels on Orchard Road. Even North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un couldn’t resist residing at St. Regis during his visit to the city. Of course, staying at the presidential suite might cost you an arm and a leg but the grand deluxe room and penthouse stand on par. Oh, and the afternoon tea buffet at Brasserie Les Saveurs is one of our personal favourites.
The St. Regis Singapore, 29 Tanglin Road, Singapore 247911
Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa
Staying at any hotel in Sentosa is like a mini vacay, but Sofitel hits the spot with Parisian decor and touches of nature. The hotel is set atop a cliff above Tanjong Beach, so expect stunning 360-degree views of the South China Sea. Our pick: The Imperial Suite that’s strictly for the colour-inclined. Enjoy the east-meets-west interior that doesn’t hold back on opulence.

InterContinental Singapore
Step into a world of luxury that’s right in the heart of the cultural enclaves of Bugis and Bras Basah. We’ve fallen hard for the Heritage Wing where the hotel has preserved the style of shophouses from the 1920s. Expect elements of Singapore’s Peranakan culture including timber floorings, silk wall coverings and ornate furnishings.
InterContinental Singapore, 80 Middle Road, Singapore 188966
Beach Villas
Word has it that Rihanna chose to stay at Sentosa’s Beach Villas during her 2013 visit and we can see why. This idyllic retreat surrounded by tropical rainforests is located far from tourist-swarmed attractions, so you have plenty of quiet time. We’ve got our eyes set on the beautiful free-form pool, but if you’re staying at the two-bedroom villa, have a splash in your own personal lap pool.

Singapore Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel
Location, location, location! This is perfect if you relate to the role of “certified shopaholic”. The iconic green pagoda roof and octagonal shape tower are also hallmarks of Orchard Road. Inside, you’ll find luxurious rooms and suites, premium amenities and excellent services. Plus, look out for award-winning Cantonese and Western cuisine and exceptional Japanese treats at the various dining establishments.

Andaz Singapore
This two-tower building with a futuristic metallic honeycomb design (it’s hard not to miss) already wins our hearts, but there’s more inside. The first Andaz Hotel in Southeast Asia exudes an understated charm and draws inspiration from Singapore’s iconic shophouses. Expect killer views of the harbour or city skyline via floor-to-ceiling windows in all rooms. And you won’t go hungry here. Andaz has six restaurants and bars, including Mr Stork, a rooftop bar on the 39th storey that has teepee huts for you to take off your shoes and unwind.

InterContinental Robertson Quay
The swanky hotel in Robertson Quay oozes class with small touches like floor-to-ceiling glass panels that bring in ample natural light and chic accents that remind you of a penthouse in NYC. Too lazy to step out for dinner? Publico Ristorante serves Italian cuisine with a contemporary twist. And if you’re in need of tipples, Marcello, Singapore’s first Italian vintage craft cocktail bar, will serve you just right.

Marina Bay Sands is beloved for its wow factor and location. Its famous infinity pool has seen countless celebrities frolicking in it with stunning views as their backdrop. Perched 57 floors atop the iconic building, it feels like you’re swimming on the edge of the world. If you prefer to party while you’re at it, head up to the SkyPark where you’ll find Ce La Vi, a lounge, restaurant and bar that serves a great array of cocktails and chill vibes.

Swissotel The Stamford Singapore
Swissotel has received accolades for its strategic location and for being one of Southeast Asia’s tallest buildings (73 storeys, FYI). The rooms are a concoction of old world charm and luxury, complete with a balcony to take in the beautiful harbour and sea views. Still not impressed? Maybe the various restaurants and bars, including the Michelin-starred Jaan, Shanghai’s glamorous Bar Rouge, and contemporary grill Skai will pique your interest.

This heritage hotel gives us a major throwback to the 1900s by retaining its original beauty of fluted columns, delicate woodwork and graceful archways. Of course, there’s also the historic tower, which has been gazetted as a national monument. Inside, the hotel continues to reinvent itself by adding contemporary touches to 233 rooms and suites.
