Where to stay in Singapore

There is a wide variety of accommodation, ranging from budget to modern, ultra high-class hotels. These have extensive facilities, including swimming pools, health clubs, several restaurants, full business services and shopping arcades. It is advisable to make advance reservations. All rooms are subject to 4% tax and 10% service charge. For further information on accommodation in Singapore, contact the Singapore Tourism Board who can supply the Singapore Hotels Directory.

Grading: Some hotels are designated as being 'International Standard' with all modern conveniences such as swimming pools and air conditioning. However, there is no formal star system of grading. Expect a Singapore hotel advertising itself as five star to be considerably more luxurious than the European equivalent.
