Singapore's ranked hotels are few but heavily decorated: seven hold MICHELIN Keys, three carry Forbes Five Star ratings, two appear on The World's 50 Best Hotels list and one is recognised by La Liste. Raffles Hotel remains the reference point, a low white colonial building of courtyards and verandahs on Beach Road, restored and reopened after a lengthy closure.
Capella Singapore combines restored British military buildings with a curved Norman Foster wing on Sentosa, where Raffles Sentosa has since added villas. Four Seasons and Artyzen sit off Orchard Road, PARKROYAL COLLECTION Pickering greens its facade above Chinatown, and Mandarin Oriental faces Marina Bay.

Where to stay in Singapore
Orchard and Tanglin suit shopping and embassy-district calm; Marina Bay puts the waterfront, the museums and the financial district on the doorstep; the civic quarter around Beach Road and Raffles City keeps the colonial architecture; Sentosa, over the causeway, is the resort option with beaches and space for villas.
When to go
Temperatures barely move across the year, so events rather than weather set demand: the Formula One night race in September, Chinese New Year and the major trade weeks are the tightest, while the wetter monsoon months from November to January are usually the quietest.
