Singapore fits Michelin-starred hawker stalls, retail therapy strong enough to fill a week and five-star hotels of every stripe onto a single small island. From Marina Bay skyline suites to Sentosa’s only beachfront resort, these are the best five-star hotels in Singapore.
Centrally located and easy walk to harbour front. MRT located adjacent for access to the rest of the city. Lovely comfortable room and excellent breakfast variety. Stayed in the executive room so enjoyed the afternoon tea and hour hour drinks. Very friendly staff and a popular hotel. Very enjoyable 3 night stay.

Situated just above clarke quay mrt makes it very convenient to go around the city, our favorite mall Funan is one bus stop away. The staffs are so friendly and helpful. We stayed for 4 nights and and enjoyed every day of our stay. After a tiring day of walking around the city, we know we can get our rest with just a Mrt ride. The famous song fa bak kut teh is also just across the street. We will definitely stay here again for our next Singapore trip

InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay by IHG
Follow the Singapore River towards Robertson Quay and the city starts to feel less like a checklist. InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay makes a good base for days split between galleries, long lunches and walks along the water, with the CBD and Clarke Quay close enough to keep plans flexible. Choose it when you want Singapore’s energy within reach, then prefer to return somewhere quieter.
We loved our stay at the Intercontinental. We found the location on the river to be close enough to the MRT but also quite relaxing on the river. The Club Room benefits were great when we didn't feel like going out again after a morning out. There are plenty of other eating spots a short walk away. The hotel was clean and the staff friendly.

Lovely hotel in a quieter part of Singapore, close to transport links to Chinatown, little India and Marina Bay. The staff were lovely, rooms spacious and plenty of food choices at the hotel or within a two minute walk. We would certainly stay again at this hotel.
Mandarin Oriental Singapore
Stay elevated at Mandarin Oriental Singapore, Marina Bay’s landmark address where dramatic atrium architecture meets Peranakan-inspired interiors. Rooms run floor-to-ceiling over the bay, and service anticipates before you ask. Sip playful cocktails at MO Bar, work through Michelin-calibre dining or the buffet spread, then unwind by the skyline-view pool or in the spa. Gardens by the Bay and the Merlion sit within walking distance – this is Singapore seen, and tasted, from its most polished vantage point.
Hotel was amazing, Staff couldn't do enough for you. Italian Restaurant Dolce Vita & Embu Buffet we believe are 5 Star food rating, incredible staff, totally enjoyed our stay, we would definitely book the Mandarin Oriental again

The Capitol Kempinski
Stay at The Capitol Kempinski, and you’re inside a working piece of 1929 Singapore – part of a complex that includes the original Capitol Theatre, Capitol Piazza and an arcade of dining options, with an MRT station underneath connecting the East West and North South lines. The building’s curved facade makes it one of Singapore’s most recognisable street corners, within walking distance of Chijmes – a former convent turned dining hotspot – and Raffles City shopping mall, and a short drive from the National Museum of Singapore and the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay.
Stepping in feels like going into a different city. The hotel looks small from outside bit the details, to me, is impeccable. My older kid enjoyed the enclosed balcony. Its a like a little extra room where it is quiet. The service and staff are also 5 star.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the main shopping street, with plenty of shopping malls and commercial areas nearby. The surroundings are beautiful, and the room is very quiet and peaceful, making it suitable for everyone.
What I love most is the 24-hour room dining service, which is incredibly convenient, especially when you want to relax in your room after a long day. Overall, it was a very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended!

Even as a local, I was genuinely impressed by the hotel's exceptional customer service and luxurious atmosphere. The outdoor pool is on the smaller side, but the thoughtful touches—such as complimentary beverages and sunscreen by the pool—more than make up for it. Overall, it offers great value for the price, and I would definitely stay here again.
Marina Bay Sands
Easily the most recognisable hotel in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands is a five-star integrated resort built around the SkyPark Pool, the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, appearing to float 57 storeys above the city. You won’t need to leave the grounds. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands covers retail, Banyan Tree Spa covers massages, and between the towers, mall and SkyPark there are almost 50 cafes, restaurants and bars to choose from. For everything else, the ArtScience Museum, Gardens by the Bay and the nightly Spectra sound and light show sit directly outside, and the Bayfront MRT station underneath connects to both the Circle and Downtown lines.
if you can afford just pick to stay here as everything is so nearby and its just amazing just in the hotel !

We had an amazing girls' staycation at Marina Bay Sands! What made our experience even more special was the unexpected complimentary room upgrade. Such a wonderful surprise!
The suite was absolutely stunning — spacious, luxurious, beautifully furnished and equipped with excellent amenities. The breathtaking views of Singapore's skyline were simply spectacular.
We especially enjoyed the iconic infinity pool, both in the evening and during the day. It was definitely one of the highlights of our stay.
We had such a memorable time relaxing, laughing and enjoying each other's company. The beautiful suite made our girls' getaway even more special.
Thank you, Marina Bay Sands, for the lovely gesture and wonderful experience. Truly a memorable stay, and we would definitely love to return!

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa
Set on a hill above Tanjong Beach, this five-star resort and spa brings a dose of French-inspired design to the middle of Sentosa, with the Singapore Strait on one side and direct access to the beach on the other. Dining runs from the open-air Pan-Asian and Western spread at Kwee Zeen to Southern Italian dishes overlooking the sea at The Cliff.
Fabulous room, fantastic staff. Definitely try the Sentosa Sling at LeBar

Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa
For a taste of resort-style glamour, head to Singapore’s only beachfront resort, Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa. A stretch of private beach and surrounding jungle make it feel like a secluded island escape, despite sitting an easy reach from the CBD. Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa works well for family trips too, with facilities genuinely built for little ones – right down to kid-sized bathrobes and junior bathroom amenities.
I found shangri la rasa to be one of the best resorts I have ever stayed in everything from the food to the activities to the location were spot on, the rooms were so comfortable and spacious with amazing views but above all the staff were absolutly incredible they make you feel extremely welcome from start to finish. Will definitely be going back.

The Shangra-La proved to be an excellent choice to have a few days to relax. The pools and beach areas were spacious, kids areas and club would make this an excellent choice for families.
We received excellent service with a room upgrade and drinks to celebrate my birthday. The rooms are really well equipped, plenty of room and conceivable option.
The food is amazing we had the breakfast & dinner buffet which had unbelievable range – Indian, Asian, noodle bar plus numerous other choices. Make sure you leave room for dessert, the range and quality are magnificent.
Plenty of things to do with free bus transport on Sentosa and shuttle services going to VivoCity..
Would suggest missing the weekends as numbers increased at the resort but service and facilities still catered for everbody.
Would definitely return.

Best five-star hotels in Singapore for wellness
COMO Metropolitan Singapore
Stay within moments of Orchard Road’s shopping precinct while making full use of COMO Metropolitan Singapore’s dedicated wellness floor – yoga and Pilates studios, oxygen therapy spaces, a full fitness centre, red light therapy rooms and a spa menu spanning massages, facials and life coaching. The wellness continues at the table: COMO Shambhala Kitchen serves balanced, ingredient-led dishes built around the rest of the stay, not just alongside it.
Outstanding! Location, service, staff, room, food were all excellent. Couldn’t talk highly enough. We’ll certainly be back. Great deal from luxury scapes.

Como Metropolitan was the perfect accomodation for our Singapore Stay. The location right on Orchard Rd was so convenient and a great vibe. The hotel rooms were contemporary, modern chic. The rooftop pool and Como Shamballa massages and pilates were a highlight. The staff throughout the hotel remembered us by name and were so warm, friendly and accomodating.

Capella Hotel Singapore
Slow down at Capella Hotel Singapore, home to Auriga Spa, which has retained its Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star rating. With 112 rooms, suites and villas across two 19th-century colonial bungalows, the resort sits in Sentosa’s rainforest, moments from Palawan Beach. Dip into the spa’s vitality pool, or head to the herbal steam room or ice fountain. The wellness menu runs to holistic treatments – try the Northern Light facial with a sea buckthorn and eucalyptus mask followed by an acupressure massage, or the three-hour Auriga Signature Moon Ritual.
Low rise, extreme luxury and a total escape from Singapore City.
Built for those of us that hate high rise pigeon box styles hotels
Pristine white beaches, 3 magnificent pools and two 5-star restaurants within Capella
Staff that remember your name, golf style buggies at the drop of a hat.
This was our third trip to Capella and Singapore and wouldn't consider staying anywhere else
12 Minutes by taxi to Singapore city and 15 minutes from gardens by the bay
Life is short, why not treat yourself?
The breakfast buffet is world class and a highlight of every day

Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore
Singapore can feel densely programmed – Orchard’s shops, hawker centres, museums and bars all competing for your attention. Shangri-La Singapore gives you somewhere calmer to return to, with 15 acres of gardens between the city and your room. It’s especially well suited to families and first-time visitors who want the convenience of an Orchard address without spending every hour in the shopping district.
Exceptionnel en tout points: cuisine, personel, deco, chambre, situation. Un must

We splurged on access to the Horizon Club and it was totally worth it. The breakfast, and the evening canapés and drinks were extra special – they weren't done on a budget like we have seen in some other hotels.
The pool is magnificent, parts of it were nice and deep (2.5m) which is unusual in Asia, which probably explains why they offer swim vests by the pool as well.
Pan Pacific Orchard
Pan Pacific Orchard sits with immediate access to Orchard Road’s stretch of back-to-back malls and eateries. Start across the road at ION Orchard, eight levels of retail spanning 300-plus stores, continue to Takashimaya next door, and keep going. To refuel, Newton Food Centre – one of Singapore’s finest hawker centres – is less than a 10-minute drive away. For a break from shopping, St Gregory Spa’s treatment menu is on-site, or Singapore Botanic Gardens is a 10-minute drive – the National Orchid Garden is worth the detour for its colour alone.
Located in Duxton Hill, one of Singapore’s most underrated neighbourhoods, Mondrian Singapore Duxton puts guests within easy reach of the area’s coffee shops, cocktail bars and eateries. Chinatown and the Maxwell Hawker Centre are also an easy walk away. The hotel is home to a restaurant helmed by Dario Cecchini, dubbed “The Greatest Butcher in the World” by The New York Times. Bottega Di Carna’s menu draws on Tuscan tastes and modern Italian flavours, running from signature steak tartare and ossobuco alla Milanese to dry-rubbed beef cuts off the wood-fired grill. Bring your appetite.
Loved this hotel. The king bed was amazing, cosy little shower and right in the heart of one of my fave neighbourhoods in SG. 10/10 would book again. Buffet breakfast spread was ace too!

Our first stop of our trip and the Mondrian met our expectations. The staff were professional and helpful, the buffet breakfast that was included was delicious with a wide variety of food, a great location not far from Chinatown or the Maxwell Market all in walking distance. A great location in Singapore. We enjoyed the rooftop bar with the pool which was a great place to relax, unwind and have a few drinks then down to the jungle bar for happy hour to enjoy some great music.
All of the amenties were of a high standard 😁
We would definitely recommend this hotel during a stay in Singapore! Thank you LE loved loved loved this one!
Conrad Singapore Orchard
Conrad Singapore Orchard runs 10 restaurants and bars, anchored by the Michelin-starred Summer Palace, where a Cantonese menu built on seasonal ingredients comes with fine wines and Chinese tea cocktails. Basilico channels the Italian Riviera, with terrace dining, artisanal cheeses at the Signature Cheese Room, and a carpaccio bar. Manhattan is one of Singapore’s best bars, and home to the world’s first in-hotel rickhouse, where its cocktails are barrel-aged on-site. The hotel also offers an Edible Garden Walk through the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a curated tasting from GastroGeography of Singapore.

21 Carpenter
At 21 Carpenter, the building does some of the storytelling. The restored 1936 remittance house sits between Chinatown and Clarke Quay, close to hawker stalls, temples, river walks and the CBD. Inside, original character meets a quieter, contemporary feel. It’s for travellers who plan their city breaks around neighbourhoods, architecture and the next meal – not just the hotel address.
Raffles Singapore
Raffles Singapore opened in 1887 and remains the city’s benchmark for old-world grandeur – known for its butler service, as the birthplace of the Singapore Sling, and for one of the world’s best afternoon tea services. Step around the peanut shells and order a cocktail at the Long Bar, or find a quieter seat at the brass counter of the Writers Bar, where the menu takes its cues from the hotel’s literary guests. The Tiffin Room has served the same North Indian cuisine since 1892.
