Frommer's Review

Situated just across from the Arab Street and Kampong Gelam areas, you're a little off the beaten track at the Plaza Hotel -- you'll need to take buses or taxis just about everywhere -- but the trade-off is that if you stick around you can take advantage of the attractive recreation and relaxation facilities, which include a half-size Olympic pool with a diving board (a rarity in Singapore), a lovely sun deck decorated in a lazy-days Balinese-style tropical motif, and a Bali-themed poolside cafe, cooled by ceiling fans. Two gyms to the side have plenty of space and new equipment, but the most exquisite facility of all is the exotic Bali-inspired spa. Other hotel facilities include outdoor and indoor Jacuzzis, a sauna, and a steam room. Guest rooms are midsize and quite nondescript but good value, especially if you can negotiate a good rate.

Facilities:2 restaurants; lounge; outdoor pool; fitness center; spa w/Jacuzzi, sauna, steam, and massage; concierge; tour desk; limousine service; business center; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; executive-level rooms

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
