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.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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: 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: High-Rise Comfort    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • 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.

    Heighest Hotel in Southeast Asia.

    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.

    Swissotel The Stamford: Fantastic View From This High Rise Hotel    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • My wife and I stayed in this hotel in Jan.2005 for a one night stop-over in Singapore. I think we got a good deal via Singapore Airlines' special rate for transit passengers. We arrived in Singapore at around 9:00 p.m., therefore we were able to check in to this hotel at around 11:00 p.m. The check in was quick, and the bellman who accompanied us to our room was very helpful and friendly. The room we got was spacious and clean, the electronic appliances are new, and the bathroom is very modern. We had a fantastic view of the city-state and if I correctly recall it, our room was above the 40th. floor. The following morning revealed an even more spectacular view of Singapore. We wanted to experience the culture of Singapore in the short time we were going to be there, so instead of eating breakfast in the hotel we decided to take a cab and have breakfast at an outside cafe on Orchard Road. Luckily, this hotel is not too far from Orchard Road and the cab fare was very reasonable. When we got back to the hotel we discovered that there is a good sized shopping mall right next to the hotel's lobby and is accessible via a short hallway, how cool is that? Before our flight back to San Francisco, we sat in the hotel's restaurant lobby to wait for our airport shuttle bus. We ordered two glasses of different flavored fancy iced tea and they were delish!!! The ice tea alone is worth going back to that hotel, OK I'm exagerating but you get the point. I only wished we had more time in Singapore.

    Friendly staff. Clean modern rooms. Latest appliances. Good location. Fantastic bathroom.
