Swissôtel the Stamford

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Everyone raves about IM Pei's iconic Swissôtel. It boasts one of Singapore's hippest dining complexes (Equinox Complex), the views are sublime, and service standards are as elevated as the building. Rooms are currently undergoing refurbishment in three phases, the final floors to be completed by 2019. The new tarted up rooms boast a rustic colour scheme mixed with a Swiss chalet mood.

The in-house Willow Stream spa offers unbridled luxury.
