A vibrant tropical metropolis with a fascinating history and a growing reputation for innovation, Singapore is a fantastic destination. Many of us have experienced the city-state only briefly as a gateway to the wonders of Indonesia or Malaysia, but this pint-sized country really packs a punch when it comes to food, heritage, shopping and events. Accommodation options are almost endless in this lively metropolis, ranging from sleek city hotels to beautiful boutique hideaways. Choosing the best places to stay in Singapore can feel tricky, but our Gurus have got you covered!
Some of our Singapore Collections
There’s far more to Singapore than the skyscrapers of the CBD. If you’re eager to explore the region’s natural beauty, look to 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay, the acclaimed Singapore Botanic Garden — undoubtedly one of the world’s most beautiful — and the National Orchid Garden. Little ones will adore an outing to the Singapore Zoo or to Universal Studios Singapore, too. For a sense of Singapore’s rich heritage as a trading settlement, head to the gorgeous Emerald Hill Neighbourhood and see the NUS Baba House and the Peranakan Museum. The National Museum of Singapore, the Singapore Art Museum and the ArtScience Museum are also excellent.
Singapore’s fabulous shopping scene is as buzzy as ever, with boutiques galore in malls and restored shophouses across the city. Foodies, on the other hand, can delight in discovering the simple hawker centres where Singaporean families congregate for sensational fare from family-owned stalls, scour the streets of Chinatown for late-night eats, or gather at ultra-chic gastronomic restaurants. Cocktail bars abound too; some of our favourites are tucked within the best places to stay in Singapore, perfect for kickstarting or rounding off your evening!
