Expert tip

One of the best reasons to fly Singapore Airlines is stopping in Changi Airport, which has been rated the best airport in the world multiple times. It's got 10 gardens, the world's tallest indoor waterfall, kids playgrounds, movie theatres and pay-per-use lounges, so you can access gyms, massages and all the benefits of a lounge, even if you're not a part of an airline loyalty program.

Where to stay in Singapore

Having trouble deciding where to stay in Singapore? Start by considering what you’re most hoping to get from your holiday. If you’re due for an indulgent shopping spree, staying near Orchard Road makes sense. Alternatively, if classic touristy activities are what you’re seeking, lean towards the resorts of Sentosa Island.The best areas to stay in Singapore also include Chinatown and Little India – perfect if you want to immerse yourself in the Chinese or Indian aspects of Singapore’s culture (and cuisine!). Of course, if you have the budget for it, the iconic Marina Bay Sands is hard to resist.

Orchard Road

Shopaholics, look no further than Orchard Road. This retail mecca is an urban paradise. Staying here, right in the heart of Singapore, will give you immediate access to the countless stores, eateries, attractions, and facilities that Orchard Road has to offer. You can literally shop ‘til you drop because your room is right there ready to catch you. Big hotel brands here include Holiday Inn, Pac Pacific, Hilton, and Marriott.

Little India

The accommodation options in Little India tend to be boutique and quirky, much like the area's shop houses with their colourful shopfronts. If you love Indian cuisine, you'll love being greeted by the wafting aroma of delicious food every time you step out of your hotel lobby. Hotels in this area tend to be quite affordable, and staying here gives you easy access to many of the city's best attractions.

Bras Basah Road

Located just minutes from Orchard Road, Bras Basah Road accommodation offers a less frenetic place to stay that's still very much central. The world-renowned Carlton Hotel Singapore and Rendezvous Grand Hotel Singapore are both found here. When you stay on Bras Basah Road, many fantastic attractions will be within walking distance, including the National Museum of Singapore, the Peranakan Museum, and Fort Canning Park.

The Colonial District

The heart of downtown Singapore, the Colonial District is noteworthy for its architecture and for being the home of the world-famous Raffles Hotel (named after the city's founder, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles). This is a great place to stay in Singapore if you want to be close to everything. For example, the Asian Civilisations Museum and National Gallery will be within walking distance.

Chinatown

Chinatown is a thriving area full of markets, restaurants, shops, people, and some fascinating temples. You'll get great value on accommodation here, and delicious Chinese dishes will never be more than a short walk away. If you plan on spending some quality time in the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, Chinatown is a smart place to stay.

Marina Bay

The sensational Marina Bay Sands is perhaps Singapore's most recognisable building. The ‘ship' upheld by the three main pillars is a sight to behold. Staying here gives you direct access to the massive casino, the classy Shoppes, and the largest rooftop pool in the world. You could also enjoy a daily stroll through the Gardens by the Bay, which are located just across the road from the Marina Bay Sands.

Sentosa Island

Keen to spend your holiday on exciting movie-themed rides, exploring aquariums, watching incredible shows, and relaxing on the beach? Sentosa Island is the fun capital of Singapore, so staying at a resort on the island makes perfect sense if an activity-packed holiday is what you're after. Start your getaway by ascending Tiger Sky Tower, then make your way to Universal Studios Singapore.
