Above the Rest
My grandmother and a companion met me and my husband in Singapore. We stayed at the Westin Stamford in Raffles City. As of 2002, this hotel is now called the Swisshotel Stamford. The world' tallest hotel, this 1263-room Hotel provides guests with spectacular views
Unique Quality: 20 years later, I don't remember a lot of details but this is what the hotel website says
A Deluxe room offers consistently excellent accommodation. Local phone calls are free. Small touches make the stay, like an iron and ironinging board in every room. And it's very easy indeed to appreciate the convenience of a one-touch call for every service in the hotel.
A Harbour View room offers everything a Deluxe Room offers, with the added bonus of a guaranteed view of the harbour, the Padang and the drametic skyline of the Shenton Way business district. Stamford Crest furnishings are tastefully selected to reflect the decor of an elite private home. These palaces in the sky represent a vastly elevated way of living. A living room. A television in the bathroom, so you can watch movies while you soak. A top-of-the-line Bose Hi-fi System, with a collection of jazz, pop and classical music. Online staff.

Great views. Bad service.
We stayed there for a week in May.
The views were brilliant BUT...
1. the pool was depressing, sandwiched between highrises and crowded.
2. They charge for use of the gym.
3. Check in and check out takes a long time due to too few staff for too many guests.
4. Exhorbitant charges for WIFI usage.
5. In most hotels, the exec floor is a 'child-free' zone so that adults can focus on business, etc. Not the Stamford;the lounge was full of raucous children, even during cocktail hour! Nothing like having kids sneezing all over the canapes to ruin your appetite.
6. Expensive cover charge for Equinox bar on the top floor. $20 just to sit down!
7.Drain in the bathroom smelled so musty we bought bleach ourselves & poured it down to destroy whatever bacteria was causing the smell.
8. Wait times for elevators that were often over 5 minutes between 12-3 pm.
9. Breakfast buffet restaurant was a nightmarish feeding frenzy.
I could go on but you get the idea. THis hotel has brilliant view & not much else

High-Rise Comfort
I stayed at the Swissôtel The Stamford in 2004 during a business trip to Singapore. The hotel is located in the Raffles City development, a shopping and leasure complex in the block adjacent to the Raffles Hotel.
I remember seeing this hotel being built when I first visited Singapore in 1987, and marvelling at it's height. No wonder, it was then the tallest hotel in the world and is still the tallest hotel in south Asia, and third tallest in the world. The hotel houses over 1,200 rooms, making it the largest hotel in Singapore.
The hotel was renamed in 2002 after it was taken over by the Raffles International group, this caused a little confusion at first as my taxi driver didn't understand what hotel was "The Swissotel", however everybody should recognise "The Stamford".
I was lucky enough to receive a complimentary upgrade whilst checking in, and received a suite on the 67th floor. The view from the suite was amazing, looking down on the raffles complex and out to the ocean. The room was spacious and modern, equipped with a great bed and quality fittings.
Unfortunately during this visit to Singapore I was in transit from China back to Europe, and just before leaving China I had picked up some food poisoning. After having spent a week in China, and before that several months in Germany, Singapore was like coming home (for a Brit), where people were driving on the correct side of the road! Singapore is truly like a touch of Britain in Aisa, but the best thing is it combines all components of Asia, China, Malaysia, India, Indonesia... The selection and choice of food is outstanding, a shame I wasn't in shape to enjoy it on this visit.
Despite the upset stomach I thoroughly enjoyed the stay at The Stamford. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, the environment was luxurious and impressive, and the room was comfortable and spacious. I will try to stay here again on my next visit to Singapore.
Unique Quality: Heighest Hotel in Southeast Asia.

family unfriendly
was visiting the restaurant on the top floor of this hotel... and they didn't allowed us to go in as me and my wife where together with our 14 month old baby... we loved to have a nice exclusive family dinner for our wedding anniversary and then they threat us like that... even when I told that we are staying in the hotel, it didn't help.... other bars and restaurants linked to his hotel have the same policy...
If a hotel has a good quality restaurant, I love to discover it, you don't have to leave the hotel and taking cabs in a strange city. Now the hotel stills force you to take a cab and travel to somewhere else, just because you have a kid. Next time you can better stay in a better hotel, Singapore has better hotels then this one.
This one is the most UNFRIENDLY for parents with kids!

Gym fees
My wife and I were booked into Swissotel Stamford for 8 nights on a business trip. After 4 nights were decided to move to the Meritus Mandarin. Swissotel was crowded, the staff were unfriendly, the service was slow, the prices were high, and they even had the audacity to ask for $23 Singapore per day to use the gym facilities! This was despite the fact that they advertise gym facilities at the hotel so you assume its included in the room price. Our last 4 nights at the Meritus Mandarin were completely different on all counts and we had an enjoyable stay.
Unique Quality: Good location with quick access to MRT.

Downtown convention hotel
Stayed here a few times for convention.
I like the fact the MRT is just at the basement and the hotel adjoins the Raffles City shopping center. So it is very convenient to get a bite or shop around.
Up high in the room also the commanding view is excellent. Try the restaurant at the top. Got a special mug that resemled the tower.

Tallest hotel in Singapore
The place is really very much what you'd expect from a five star hotel. Check-in was swift, and the room was tidy. Beds were really comfy and air conditioning was sufficient.
Bathroom was somewhat of a letdown, as the bathtub had an attached shower, no separate shower booth.
We stayed on the 24th floor, and the view was quite nice. Obviously, if you've got the cash to splash, try to get a harbourview room up top.
Unique Quality: The best place in this hotel must be the Equinox centre right at the very top, at the 90th floor. The place boasts a nightclub, a number of bars and a restaurant. Great panoramic views over the city and harbour. Really quite an impressive sight.
The breakfast was luxurious! A large range of both Pan-Asian as well as Western dishes. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit on offer.
The City Hall MRT station is right downstairs, so it's super easy to access and to see the city.

Luxury at Best
Definitely not for anyone on a budget - but definitely recommended for anyone on business trip, looking for good spa facilities and anyone else who can afford to be luxurious on a vacation!
Compared to its sister Swisshotel the Stanford, it simply feels more luxurious with its inhouse Amrita Spa name, with its toiletries sprawled all over an absolutely fantastic bathroom...
Its location is great and centralized, minutes within the Orchard shopping road, Chinatown and Suntec City (which is just walking distance....)
Unique Quality: In house Amrita Spa.

Great location, reasonable digs
I love the location of this hotel - right above Raffles City & the City Hall MRT, it connects to City Link Mall which then leads out to Marina Bay. It's also within walking distance of Raffles Hotel, CHIJMES, St. Andrew's, the Esplanade, Ft. Canning, National Museum, art museum. It is beautifully presented, pleasant & helpful staff, variety of restaurants/bars onsite and a nice spa for guests only.
However, if we had not been there for business & so paid for by my husband's company, it would have been far too expensive. The Internet connection was more than $20/day for only one computer (I went down for free WiFi in a City Link Mall everyday since only my husband's laptop was paid for in the room). Laundry prices were outrageous (this is the norm for most hotels, however - we went to Washy Washy in Cuppedge Plaza and it was far cheaper even with cab fare). Room service had an extensive menu and early/late hours, but again very pricey.
We had a few issues with housekeeping - countertops were never wiped down, dirty spoons, not refilling ice bucket, broken refrigerator. Only the spoons and refrigerator troubles were remedied, and both took quite awhile. Our friends staying in the hotel also had problems with unclean floors & counters and excessive construction noise.
I would not recommend this hotel in general because it was far too expensive for the services offered. Because the MRT system is so fantastic in Singapore, the location of Swissotel Stamford is not enough to overcome the price and lack of extraordinary amenities & service.
Unique Quality: Amrita Spa is located in the hotel for guests only, which makes getting to it a bit of a chore (using key card to access hallway, then walking across pool area to another secluded hall). But the prices are reasonable for Singapore (basically what we would pay at an upscale spa in Portland/Vancouver).
I had a manicure that was decidedly no frills - tiny room, pop music playing, no refreshment/water offered - but there was a comfortable chair, good selection of polish, and my attendant did a great job.

Swissotel Stamford Opinios
Hi Everyone - Thinking of spending a 10 day holiday at the Swissotel Stamford next year. Anyone stayed there recently - and what is your opinion. Is this a good choice or could I do better. Thanks
Re: Swissotel Stamford Opinios
Depending how much budget do you have. If you are not on budget trip,.. try Fullerton hotel. Thats a very nice hotel.
Re: Swissotel Stamford Opinios
Hi,
I stayed in this hotel a couple of months ago. I was visiting Singapore on business, and the hotel was booked and paid for by my company.
Upon arriving at the hotel I was given a free upgrade to a deluxe room on the 58th floor, the room was very large, comfortable, and well equipped, and the view was fantastic.
The staff where friendly and corteous, and the service excellent. The breakfast buffet was well stocked and enjoyable.
The location was not the best, it is positioned a little out of the main shopping district, next to the Raffles hotel. but there is a shopping centre inside the Stamford building, and the surrounding buildings. Its about a 25 minute walk to Orchard Road, or a quick cab ride.
All in all I was very pleased with the hotel. You could do better, you could stay at the Raffles, but the price is a bit different!
Hope you enjoy your visit,
Charlie
Re: Swissotel Stamford Opinios
Hi there,
I have been to Singapore 5 times till now. I visited a lot of hotels during my last stays to find the right one. Well, 10 days in Singapore are quite a lot, but like you, I did the same this year in September. For me, not only the rooms or location are important, also the pool area is a main point for my relaxation. And this is a disappointing fact of the Swissotel Stamford. The pool is small and you have to share it with the guests of the Plaza Hotel as well. Location is ok, cause the metro station is in front of the hotel. Boat Quay, Suntec City, the Financial district are near to the hotel, you can reach this parts by feed within 15 min.
I can recommend you these hotels:
The Ritz-Carlton Millenia: great rooms and breakfast, wonderful pool in a green garden,
The Mandarin Oriental: more reasonable than Ritz-Carlton, huge pool too.
One tip at least: contact the hotels directly, maybe you will get a special rate or an upgrade cause of the 10 days.
Greetings from Germany!
Re: Swissotel Stamford Opinios
Singapore hotels can range in price from $30/- or thereabouts to $900/- or thereabouts!
However if you want to make like the locals and an experience that is uniquely Singapore, I can offer you homestay at my home.

Re: Swissotel Stamford Opinios
