Top 6 Luxury Hotels in Singapore

I was torn between this hotel and Capella when booking, but ultimately chose Raffles after seeing reviews that praised its stronger Nanyang (Southeast Asian) charm and newer facilities. The environment and amenities are excellent, truly beautiful, with peacocks and various birds roaming freely. However, the bedding isn't as comfortable as Capella's. The service, while mostly friendly, doesn't quite match the price. Some staff members seemed rather cold, perhaps due to my limited English, which is a communication issue, but it prevents me from giving a top rating. Everything else was fantastic, and the complimentary potato chips were especially delicious and a definite plus!

Let's not even talk about value for money when staying here. The ambiance is top-notch, an oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle, with a large courtyard. The hotel is teeming with greenery, and it's connected to a shopping complex – you'll get lost without a map if you wander aimlessly. The hotel itself has a historical charm that's quite fun to explore. We were given two complimentary Singapore Slings and got to experience the lively Long Bar, famously covered in peanut shells. The guest rooms are very high-tech, with all the lights, air conditioning, TV, and audio controlled smartly via a tablet. In terms of service, quite a few staff members speak Chinese, even though they told me no one did when I called to inquire. We encountered a very nice room manager who proactively introduced us to the hotel on our way, and even helped us book the bar – highly commendable. The butler service was available but slow. The reason for the 3-star rating is because they made a ridiculous error with our breakfast bill: they charged us for five breakfasts when we only had two adults and one child, simply because we moved tables. They were not proactive in resolving it, and I wasted at least 35 minutes of my life battling over something that could have been easily clarified by asking the staff who served us for two consecutive days. I didn't send an email to complain because most of the other hotel staff were incredibly polite and nice; they remembered our names from the moment we walked in and tried their best to meet all our needs. The cafe at the entrance is good, and the barista even passionately trashed the hotel's coffee, which was amusing! 🤣

A Wonderful Family Getaway at Equarius Villas Our stay at Equarius Villas was truly wonderful, especially as a family getaway. The villa was spacious, beautifully maintained, and spotlessly clean. Both the room and the private pool were huge, providing plenty of space to relax and enjoy quality time together in complete privacy. The bed was extremely comfortable, and we really appreciated the thoughtful selection of pillows, which allowed everyone to find their preferred level of comfort. The overall in-room experience felt luxurious yet cozy. The staff were outstanding — very helpful, professional, and impressively quick to respond whenever we needed assistance. A special mention goes to Kim, who was exceptionally attentive to our needs and promptly helped us resolve any issues. Her dedication and care truly made a difference and enhanced our stay. Overall, Equarius Villas offers an excellent blend of comfort, privacy, and top-notch service. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to families looking for a relaxing and memorable stay.

Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel! The outdoor pool was beautiful, and the butler service was great. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Check-in was smooth and quick. The room's temperature was already set to a comfortable level, and there was a personalized small gift waiting. The suite design is great, with a living room, dining table, and coffee table. The walk-in closet is spacious, and the bathroom layout is very practical. The bedding was comfortable and clean, making for a relaxing and pleasant stay. The semi-buffet breakfast had limited options, and the quality was just average. There was a fly buzzing around throughout the meal, and small insects hovering over the fruit, which definitely needs improvement. I recommend providing easily accessible charging stations in public areas for guests to use their laptops.
