Swissotel The Stamford, the New Look of Luxury Accommodation in Singapore
With beautifully appointed guest rooms and excellent facilities, I couldn’t think of any better place to spend our weekend in Singapore than staying at Swissotel The Stamford. A Swiss hotel brand part of Accor Hotels, this award-winning 5-star hotel let my friend and I experienced ease and luxury. For two days, we had nothing but comfort and elegance. Swissotel The Stamford sets a new standard on what luxury accommodation is for us. The hotel offered the best in everything during our stay with the finest Swiss hospitality.

It has an easy access to Singapore’s iconic landmarks, famous tourist spots, shopping districts and entertainment areas. The hotel is also just 20-minute drive from the airport.
With a convenient location, we didn’t find it hard to get to the hotel. We rode an Uber from the airport, which we also found more affordable than taking a regular taxi in Singapore. It was around 5 o’clock in the morning when we arrived at the hotel. We checked in to our rooms immediately. The front desk staff just asked for our passports and one credit card to hold a minimal amount for the security deposit. After a few minutes, he handed our room keycards.

The Newly Renovated Premier Room

The bathroom is fitted with vanity counter with a beauty light. There’s also a vanity box with signature bathroom amenities. The bathroom also features a standing rain shower.

Another surprise was the in-room snack basket. This is one of the best welcome treats I had in a hotel.
