SINGAPORE’S skyline from a height is a thing of beauty, what with the riverside flowing in the heart of the business district, the iconic Merlion spouting water, the shimmer of golden city lights casting a glow upon indigo waters, and the hive of activity pumping through the city’s streets.
It’s true some typically steer clear of a business district when choosing a hotel for leisure, but The Westin Singapore manages to satisfy their corporate guests as well as families, staycationers, couples and solo travelers on holiday.
The infinity pool on the 35th floor overlooks the Singapore skyline
A case in point is the hotel’s infinity pool on the 35th floor overlooking the solemnly romantic city skyline. It’s a beast of a pool that perfectly encapsulates the “urban oasis” or “lush sanctuary” feel you’d come to expect when putting up in a busy Singapore hotel for a holiday or staycation.
The rooms are classy, clean and functional, made for the sophisticated traveler who shies from gaudiness or excess. But intricate details appear where they matter in the form of floor-to-ceiling windows that allow in splashes of natural light, luxurious amenities, and marble spa-inspired bathrooms.
We particularly like the Executive Suite, a room that looks out to the riverside, and dressed in tones of earth and cream. After a long day of sightseeing, sink into the plush L-shaped sofa and restore your energy in front the 47-inch HD TV and the Bose Wave sound system.
Bask in the spacious living room in the Sea View Suite
The bathroom has the advantage of a “floating” basin, a freestanding bathtub, an oversized rainforest shower, and to top it all off, a 21-inch TV embedded in the bathroom mirror. Fragrant White Tea bath amenities, bathrobes and fuzzy slippers complete the lavishness.
If you’re booked in for a weekend, enjoy the perks of late checkout and extended breakfast hours up to 3pm. Because if you really think about it, there’s little else you need on a Sunday besides a comfy bed and a hearty brunch.
You can also tuck into generous seafood platters at Seasonal Tastes’ Neptune’s Table Sunday brunch featuring premium seafood like Alaskan king crab legs, lobsters, shucked oysters and half-shell scallops. Or stuff yourself silly at the restaurant’s daily seafood dinner buffets.

Meanwhile, for a classy dinnertime option, head to Cook & Brew, a gastro bar featuring raw wooden floors, dark leather chairs and a black marble bar are complemented by stunning views of the Marina Bay. Order a hearty beef burger, a hefty slow-roasted Canadian pork chop, or a comforting grain-fed striploin steak.
If you’re heading out, The Westin Singapore’s location within a short distance of Singapore’s attractions is one of its strongest suits. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is home to some of the city’s most revered restaurants including Waku Ghin and Long Chim by David Thompson.

If you’re unfamiliar with Singapore’s street food scene, leave it to the good hands of Singapore food blogger Miss Tam Chiak. Every Sunday morning starting 9th October 2016, a complimentary food trail within the vicinity of the hotel will be led by her.
Meanwhile, the incredible Gardens by the Bay – three waterfront gardens built on reclaimed land – is only a seven-minute drive away, while the immensely popular Universal Studios Singapore is a 12-minute drive away.
The hotel is also a short way to from Chinatown and Orchard Road; the former being a renowned food strip and the latter a great place for some retail therapy. On weekends, simply catch the free shuttle rides to nearby attractions.
Stop by Heavenly Spa by Westin for a good pampering
The perks don’t end there; Starwood Preferred Guest (SPG) members can earn, redeem and enjoy even more benefits on top of those that The Westin Singapore offers. You could enjoy exclusive dining discounts, get access to complimentary in-room Internet, redeem free stays, and get free room upgrades if enough Starpoints are collected.
And with a hotel like The Westin Singapore, we don’t see why a few staycations a year wouldn’t help you rake up those points. After all, that skyline isn’t going to photograph itself…
