The grand entrance, with its feng shui-inspired design and breathtaking spiral chandelier, set the tone for what would be an unforgettable stay. Rising 31 stories above the dynamic Marina Bay, the hotel offers not just a place to rest but a full sensory experience, where impeccable service, stunning views and a celebration of art and culture come together in perfect harmony.

The Conrad’s seamless blend of sophistication and cultural immersion left a lasting impression, starting with the lobby, with its striking sculptures and rich colour palette, while the hotel’s commitment to local art is evident throughout. Rafael Barrios’ Turbulence sculpture, symbolising fire, and the glistening gold ceiling welcomes guests into an energetic but tranquil environment.

Rooms are a spacious retreat here, with contemporary Peranakan-inspired accents, offering a perfect balance of comfort and style. The view of Marina Bay is simply magnificent and luxurious amenities include a personalised pillow menu and Byredo toiletries. The marble bathroom, with its double vanities and walk-in shower, provide another indulgent space to unwind after a day of exploration.

For dining, the hotel offers an exceptional range of options and guests are spoilt for choice. Oscar’s, with its live charcoal barbecue and seafood bar, provides a delightful fusion of Western and Asian flavours. Golden Peony’s Cantonese specialties, including the signature Peking Duck, are a true highlight – and a personal favourite. Meanwhile, The Terrace offers a relaxed atmosphere that transforms into a gin lover’s paradise in the evening, with an extensive selection of artisanal gin and tonic combinations.

Whether visiting for business or leisure, Conrad Singapore Marina Bay stands as a premier destination amid several landmark attractions, making it an optimal base for exploring Singapore. With an effortless fusion of luxury service and local influence, this hotel doesn’t just raise the bar, it defines it.

Mama Shelter resists the vocabulary of ready-made labels and has one reaching for an oxymoronic term like budget luxury. On the one hand, rooms are small, with queen-size beds and some have bunk beds but sheets are satin cotton, some bedrooms have private balconies and all have large screens and sound proofing.

There are two swimming pools, one of which doubles as a stage for DJ sets and live performances, and the rooftop enjoys an air-conditioned restaurant and deckchairs for sunset cocktails. Another restaurant, at ground level, has its own bar and a brasserie-style menu; Sunday brunches, always a big draw in Singapore, will attract local and tourists alike.

The Paris-born Mama Shelter hotel brand has been around since 2008, accumulating a score of properties around the globe but, until now, none further east of Europe than Dubai. The design team behind the Singapore hotel, Dion & Arles, also worked on Mama Shelter Shoreditch.

Their signature style displays colourful décor, patterned textures and a playful quirkiness that results in whimsical touches to the interior decoration but also, in the Singapore hotel, a hand-painted ceiling mural by Parisian street-artist, Beniloys, that took three months to create on site.

Centrally located in the city state and with an ethos of affordability without sacrificing comfort, Mama Shelter Singapore should have an instant appeal for tourists valuing utility but appreciating a choice of bedrooms and a design-conscious environment.

As I make my way to the Forest Terrace, one of four open air sky terraces, the sense of being in a tropical forest is enhanced by the cascading waterfall. I’m staying in the beautiful Pan Pacific Orchard’s Premier Balcony Room overlooking the dynamic cityscape, its luxuriousness exemplified by the Diptyque amenities in the bathroom. As part of the hotel’s central motif of sustainability, there was also a filtered water dispenser accompanied by an array of reusable bottles made from ocean-bound materials.

If it already couldn’t sound any better, a Happy Sleepers programme is on offer to all guests staying in the hotel’s suites, Pacific Club Room and to Pan Pacific Discovery members. Included is a bunch of therapeutic and sleep-boosting amenities and activities. The experience is 100 per cent worth it and even after only a two-night stay, I felt so much more well rested.

Dining was another delight. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Mosella, serves Mediterranean cuisine with a Peruvian twist amid floor to ceiling windows and, you guessed it, even more greenery.

I’m just in time for the set menu that treats you to three generously-sized dishes, with choices such as tomato gazpacho, barramundi and a 28-layer cake. I decide upon the salmon tataki ceviche to start, which includes red pepper mango salsa, salmon roe, burnt orange, tahini, and mint.

The mushroom and truffle risotto followed for mains, and finally the banana and miso chocolate for dessert, including Guanaja 70 per cent chocolate mousse, miso chocolate soup and caramelised banana.

Each and every flavour brought a fresh twist to the table and left me wanting more. With a satisfied palette and a warm sensation in my stomach, I made my way back up to the room to put the Happy Sleepers programme to the test.

The new and updated rooms are set in a natural colour palette dusted with cool blue tones and lime green accents, inspired by the water and tropical lotus leaves of the Garden’s Swan Lake. Each room features a mural wall composition of traditional Peranakan tiles, adding an artistic touch and reminiscent of Singapore’s rich and multicultural heritage. Peranakan culture represents the union between two major ethnicities of the Straits Peninsula – a result of Singapore’s historical significance as a major trading port.

The five-star hotel located along Orchard Boulevard is the perfect destination for everyone from families to business travellers, as well as couples. If in need of extra space, the renovated executive suite offers separate living and sleeping areas along with an expansive and luxurious spa-like bathroom. Guests can enjoy the rooftop pool on the 20th floor, offering panoramic views of the city, play tennis both indoor and outdoor or relax in the SPA. The SPA, which feels like an urban oasis in the Asian metropolis, offers treatments such as the Néroli & Orchidée, a rejuvenating scrub, and massage performed by one of the Hotel’s skilled therapists.

I had never been to Singapore before my recent visit, and quite frankly, I didn’t know what I had been missing. Singapore, this almost perfect and pristine city-state, has lots to offer. Whether for the business or leisure traveller, Singapore has it all.

I was staying at the perfectly located Conrad Singapore, with easy access to downtown and set within the ever-evolving Marina Bay area, overlooking the Straits of Malacca, which incidentally connects the Pacific Ocean to the coast and is one of the world’s most important shipping lanes. The hotel is adjacent to the Sun Tec Singapore Convention Centre and close to arts and cultural venues, such as the ArtScience Museum and the world-renowned Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Asia’s largest casino is just minutes away in Marina Bay.

With over 1000 shops scattered within the clinically clean and modern local shopping malls, as well as 300 multi-cultural restaurants, there is plenty to enjoy. And don’t forget to pop into the Louis Vuitton store, located on the water and approached via a drawbridge walkway – quite unique.

Not only is the hotel ideally situated, but the extremely helpful and well-informed staff make each guest feel so welcome, which in a city so busy and transient, I found unusually endearing. Furnishings in the public areas of the hotel are to a high standard and there is a modern feel throughout. On entering, giant floral displays are found on every flat surface and an enormous winding staircase dominates the ground floor.

There are 507 guestrooms and 29 suites, which are all comfortably furnished and well appointed. My room of choice would be the corner room on one of the executive floors. It has a side window and a huge main window, which allows far-reaching views of some of the most iconic landmarks, including the Singapore Flyer in one corner and the Lion Head immediately in front of the huge main window. Night time can really be appreciated in such a high-elevation room, from where I enjoyed admiring the magnificent skyline, which is ostentatious yet very attractive.

A room or suite on the Executive floor includes access to the Executive Lounge, which serves delicious Asian and Western food and copious snacks during the day with an extensive pre-dinner finger buffet. Breakfast is also served in the Executive Lounge, which avoids the sometimes-overcrowded main dining area, which gets particularly busy on weekends. With their award-winning app, Conrad Concierge, guests can remotely pre check-in and provide their estimated time of arrival in addition to being able to access all the luxury services on offer.

A stunning feature of the hotel is the beautiful pool area, which is surrounded by skyscrapers and bright lights. A late night dip is invigorating and lets you soak up the unique nightscape. There is an adjoining fully equipped fitness centre, which is conveniently open 24 hours for guests to use at their leisure.

With Singapore this year celebrating 50 years since its foundation, 2015 is a perfect time to visit, especially since its famed Botanic Gardens has just joined the international league of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which is a major coup for Singapore. It’s also worth visiting Gardens by the Bay, Singapore’s futuristic new green space, featuring the best in horticultural and architectural design with over 500,000 plants from every continent in the world.

Last year Singapore welcomed over 15 million visitors. I hope they were all as charmed by this magnificently impressive city-state as I was – I have a feeling they were.
