Swissotel The Stamford: Swissotel the Stamford 5*    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Swissotel the Stamford is very centrally located with the City Hall MRT Station at the door step.

    The Raffles City Shopping Mall is just downstairs too.

    You could have a great view of the city.
    Ask for the sea view or the esplanade view if you stay high enough.

    Else head to Equinox ($20 cover charge) for a drink and enjoy the breathtaking view.

    Thanks to Dave & Wendy for allowing me to take a pic of their room. The view from their room at Level 39 was excellent. I had a great time chatting with them.

    Swissotel The Stamford: Downtown convention hotel    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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.

  • stayed at another hotel close to orchard rd last time, glad I was recommended this one. The rooms are quite comfortable. This hotel is a 5 star. The MRT is right below and Raffles is opposite. Recommend

    Pool facitities are great. The views are the best from your room ( harbour view ).

    Swissotel The Stamford: Outstanding service, great accomodations.    Check Rates
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • I stayed here over a month in 2004, paying a little extra for the Executive Package, (which gets you a very nice free breakfast in the Executive Club, drinks/food in the evening and access to an outstanding fitness spa, just ask at check-in). I stayed on the 59th floor and enjoyed spending time on the balcony with a great view of the city and the ocean. Every little concern was handled so quickly it amazed me, usually within minutes.

    Beautiful pool and spa, with a great fitness center. Easy access to CityLink mall and Suntec City mall. There is too much to say here about those, so I'll add additional reviews later.

  • Swissotel The Stamford - Singapore

    Formerly known as Westin Stamford has now changed to Swissotel The Stamford. It is because of the bad economy that the hotel was sold to another Swiss hotel chain of company.

    It was once known as the tallest hotel in the world but now with a different name to it.

    Actually it is not that expensive for a 5 star standard which has varieties of services.

    Swissotel The Stamford: family unfriendly    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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!

    Swissotel The Stamford: Great location, reasonable digs    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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.

    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 The Stamford: Gym fees    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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.

    Good location with quick access to MRT.
