Cool Climate but Value at its best
We stayed at the InterContinental Singapore for four nights and we summarize it as "best value for money in Singapore for a 4,5star accomodation".
This hotel is clearly targeting business travellers. We stayed at Club level, and were a bit of outsiders having all business people around us, but once you understand that thsi hotel is right oabove the MRT and Bugis shopping mall it doesn´t matter who stays at the hotel, but how central it is. A lot of things are in walking distance (Orchard Rd, Little India, Arab Street, etc.)
We got an upgrade in terms of room, due to the Ambassador status. Nice bed, nice view, especially nice toileteries! Greatest shower-pressure we experienced in Asia!
The staff is very efficient but not warm-hearted like at the IC in Bangkok or the IC Resort in Bali. Cool, clear-cut and not to many words. A little stiff, esp. at Club level.
We decided to skip the Club level next time, as the food stalls (hawkers) at bugis are so cheap and good, that food at the IC is simply outrageously expensive! Not worth the money...
Would we stay again? Yes, but a simple deluxe room does it, as Singapore has too much to see!
