At 73 stories, the upscale Swissotel The Stamford is the tallest hotel in Singapore, situated within Raffles City shopping and entertainment hub in the bustling commercial center. All upper-floor rooms have stunning views, and newly renovated rooms are smartly presented. About a dozen restaurants and bars can be found without leaving the complex, along with two outdoor swimming pools, a fitness center, spa, and tennis courts. Swisshotel The Stamford's size and facilities are impressive, but they can feel impersonal. For a little more style, the sister Fairmont Hotel, also in the Raffles City complex, trumps its bigger sibling.

The 888-room V Hotel Lavender is an enormous upper-middle-range hotel situated above the Lavender MRT station. There's a small shopping arcade with a food court in the lower level, and the hotel has its own pizzeria, and outdoor pool. Rooms are modern but small, although many on the higher floors have good views of the city. The V Hotel Bencoolen has similarly cramped rooms, but the property is closer to downtown.

Situated between the bucolic Botanic Gardens and Orchard Road's shopping bonanza, the Conrad Singapore Orchard provides a luxurious atmosphere in a discreet location. The trade-off is that it's not as close to either destination as some of its competitors, but this luxury hotel has its own attractions including a full spa, several popular restaurants, and an expansive Sunday cocktail brunch. The 440 rooms have elegant Asian accents and well-stocked minibars, though the traditional decor may strike some as too old-fashioned. Overall, the Conrad Singapore Orchard is not quite as posh as the nearby Four Seasons, St. Regis, or Shangri-La -- but prices tend to reflect that. Rooms are not currently open to guest but will reopen to them in the first quarter of 2024

While most of the hotels in the popular Orchard shopping area are upscale, the Grand Hyatt Singapore stands out with its excellent restaurants with open show kitchens. Rooms are large and contemporary, and even the Standard Rooms have convenient separate work areas. Amenities include an outdoor pool, a spa, and a great fitness center. Getting to tourist attractions is easy as there are several public transportation options nearby, but travelers who aren't on a shopping trip or attending a meeting here, might consider a different part of the city altogether, depending on their interests. Those who do want to be in the Orchard Road area, however, might want to compare rates with the Singapore Marriott Hotel or Four Seasons nearby.

In the Tiong Bahru historical district, the upscale Wangz Hotel stands alone on its own prestigious plot between Outram and Tiong Bharu Roads, but the location comes with some traffic noise. While it's not walking distance to mainstream attractions, it is in one of the hippest neighborhoods in Singapore, packed with trendy cafes and eateries. Rooms are large and modern, with work desks and big rainfall showers. However, the rates are high -- travelers who want to stay in Tiong Bahru without paying a premium should check out the Nostalgia Hotel, a cheaper property with the added bonus of a pool, but smaller rooms.

Located in the Central Business District, the three-and-half-pearl Peninsula Excelsior Hotel is a massive 600-room high-rise property. The highlight of this upper-middle-range hotel is undoubtedly its plush 22nd-floor Sky Lounge, which has panoramic city views that reach to the Singapore Flyer ferris wheel and gravity-defying Marina Bay Sands. There’s plenty to draw leisure travelers -- like two outdoor pools and a smart buffet-style restaurant -- while business travelers make the most of free smart phones and free Wi-Fi throughout. Rooms are pleasant, and include powerful air-conditioning and flat-screen TVs, but there are signs of wear and tear alongside some cleanliness issues. Leisure travelers would be wise to compare rates at the Marina Mandarin Singapore, which is closer to Marina Bay.

The 511-room Royal Plaza on Scotts is an older upscale hotel located in the heart of the action on Orchard Road, surrounded by shopping malls and dining spots. The hotel is a popular choice for the area, and while interiors look opulent on first glance, it's all a bit dated and overdone.

The hotel has an buffet restaurant, as well as an outdoor pool and small fitness center. Eight event spaces can accommodate business and social gatherings, plus there's a business center.
