3 Best Hotels in Bukit Merah and Queenstown, Singapore

The stylish serviced apartments of this sleek property have all conveniences of a home and all the facilities of a hotel. There's an excellent outdoor gym to keep in shape, a range of restaurants nearby, and a convenient location beside One North MRT, with access to the downtown area on the Circle (orange) line. The location is residential, surrounded by offices and businesses, which means it's quiet—especially at night. The loft apartments feature large balconies with views that sweep across the entire cityscape.

A novel concept for Singapore is the city's first hotel made entirely from shipping containers, which is big on charm. Located in Singapore’s technology hub, near the bustling Timbre+ food center, the apartment-style accommodations have kitchens, living rooms, outdoor areas, and standalone bathtubs. Both containers offer the full experience of living in a regular hotel suite—but in an entirely unique way.

You might be tempted to forget you’re in the heart of Singapore when you stay in this converted 1920 colonial garrison setting in the tropical secondary forest in Labrador Nature Reserve on the island's southwest coast. Rooms are beautiful, with high ceilings and teak furnishings that exude old colonial charm. If you can afford to, splash out on the Luxe Sarang room, with its own walled terrace garden and private pool.
