Hilton Singapore

Hilton Singapore Lives Up to its Reputation

Singapore, a cosmopolitan city on the tip of the Malay Peninsula, is host to hundreds of hotels, but the Hilton Singapore stands out as one of the finest. Located on the upscale Orchard Road, the affordably priced Hilton premiers a roof top pool, restaurant, spa, and business and fitness centers. Explore a culinary feast with six on-site dining options of Asian, European, and Modern food. Finally, don't miss two floors of designer boutiques in the hotel showing fashions from Milan and Paris.

If you look for similar hotels in the same price range, the Hyatt Singapore and the Marriott Singapore are great options. Both with plush bedding, robes, and slippers, and close to attractions. If you want cheap with no amenities, stay in the smaller hotels for under $100 like the Strand and the Summer View Hotel.

Top Notch Guest Rooms at the Hilton Singapore

After a long day of sightseeing and shopping, open your hotel door to your serene room and gaze at the magnificent city views from your floor to ceiling windows. Japanese robes, slippers, and designer toiletries are found in the marble bathroom. Other specialties are a mini bar, bottled water, an in-room safe, and an iron set. When you're ready, sink into the premium bedding, draw the blackout draperies, and review your excursions of the day. 

Venture Out to See Attractions, Shopping, and Nightlife

Begin your extended shopping spree right out the door of the hotel. Orchard Road is known as the fashion belt, promoting high-end boutique shops and luxury brands right from the runways of Paris and Milan. The best time to shop is from May to July, 8 weeks of bargains and hugely discounted prices.

Stop at Clarke and Boat Quay for a bite to eat or dance the night away in the many clubs and bars.  Stop at Marina Bay, a park along the waterfront. Here, you'll find fun and excitement as you survey the waterfront promenade, the world-class Esplanade, or step up to the Helix-the only double helix bridge you can walk on.

Getting Around Singapore

The Hilton Singapore is a 3 minute walk to the underground Mass Transit Station and a 20 minute drive from Changi International Airport. There are other options for getting around but the best is by foot since many of the attractions are close-by.

Ferry services connect the southern islands and public transportation is cheap, $.60-$1.50. If you decide to rent a car, driving is on the left side of the road and seat belts are mandatory. CityBuzz offers double-decker buses traveling unlimited loops around the city every 10-15 minutes for just $5 for an all day pass.

The Bottom Line:

The Hilton shows off 421 well-appointed guest rooms, 32 meeting rooms, a spa, fitness and business center. If you are under 21, you cannot reserve a room, and if you want to bring your pet along, tell the hotel before your stay. Each step of the way, you feel luxury and ambiance with the Hilton Singapore.
