Swissôtel The Stamford

Frommer's Review

You'd think a room in the tallest hotel in Southeast Asia would cost a bundle, but this gem is reasonably priced. Besides, with an amazing location, right on top of a subway hub and a huge shopping complex, walking distance from many sights and attractions, the Swissôtel is a great value for the money. On a clear day you can see over urban Singapore's downtown financial district, so make sure you request a room with a view. However, guest rooms, while larger than the city's average, feel bland and barren, in boring neutral tones with few decorator touches. In some spots, furnishings and carpets can use a face-lift -- while a good bargain, this hotel is desperate for a re-haul to keep up with its neighbors.
