Carlton City Hotel Singapore

Business Hotel Centrally Located Near Singapore’s Attractions

Carlton Hotel Singapore is the perfect gateway to everything the city has to offer for the discerning business traveler. Just 20 minutes from the airport, this four-star hotel is located steps away from the City Hall MRT station. Professionals often meet at nearby Suntec Convention and Exhibition Center. After a day of conferences, unwind across the street at Raffles City Mall, or take a five-minute train ride to upscale shopping on Orchard Road. Venture towards the bay to immerse yourself in Southeast Asian culture at the Asian Civilizations Museum or Esplanade Theaters on the Bay performing arts center.

Fine Cantonese Dining On Site

Business gets done in the Carlton Hotel’s sophisticated restaurants. Book a working lunch or dinner at Wah Lok, famous as one of the best Cantonese restaurants in Singapore. Afterwards treat your colleagues to cocktails at the trendy Gravity Bar. Happy hour goes until 8 p.m., so everyone on your team can unwind after a hard day's work by listening to the house band.

Upon waking the next morning, a private breakfast room can be booked at Café Mosaic for an early business meeting, otherwise you’ll eat your fill at the Carlton Hotel Singapore's buffet.

Book a Room in the Premier Wing

Business travelers should book in the Premier Wing, because it grants them access to the Premier Club Lounge on the hotel’s top floor. While you enjoy sweeping views of the skyline in the lounge, the hotel offers complimentary breakfast and evening cocktails with appetizers. Rooms in the Premier Wing are equipped with everything a business traveler could need from complimentary Wi-Fi to an adjustable work desk with an ergonomic Herman Miller chair.

After work, relax in the Carlton’s signature red designer armchair in the plush bathrobe and slippers provided by the hotel. Flip on the flat screen TV and recharge with a coffee or tea.

An Array of Conference Room Options

Your colleagues will be impressed when they see the various meeting rooms you’ve booked for your business event. The Connaught room is ideal for corporate luncheons, seminars, and smaller business meetings, while the Istana and Victoria rooms can accommodate more guests. The spacious Empress and Esplanade Rooms are a better choice if you are hosting a larger and more formal corporate dinner, presentation, or performance.

Hidden Drawbacks

While there is a well-equipped business center on site at Carlton Hotel Singapore, travelers communicating with business partners in other time zones might find the center’s hours of 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. insufficient. Guests report slow Internet speeds throughout the hotel, and Wi-Fi is complimentary only in select rooms.

The Bottom Line

Consider staying at four-star, brand new Carlton City Hotel Singapore five minutes to the south. It’s cheaper and closer to all the exciting attractions on Sentosa Island, including Universal Studios Singapore, Underwater World Singapore, and Marine Life Park. Everything is sparkling clean at Carlton City Hotel, whereas negative comments about Carlton Hotel Singapore tend to revolve around wear and tear in the rooms.
