Frommer's "Amara, located in the Shenton Way financial district, attracts primarily business travelers, so if your vacation includes a little business, too, this hotel puts you closer to the action." Full review
Lonely Planet "This classy business hotel is a little too far south to have much appeal to anyone except corporate travellers and those who want to devote themselves to the district of Chinatown."
Star Service "Sandwiched between residential and commercial buildings, this modest midrange hotel is just a three-minute walk from Tangjong Pagar MRT station." Full review
Fodor's "This 18-story hotel is part of a vibrant entertainment and shopping complex that's at the business district's south end, and convenient to the MRT station and the commercial and port facilities." Full review

"The Hotel 1929 is a hip boutique located in a historic building just outside Chinatown." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Housed inside five refurbished 1929 shophouses, this retro-inspired Chinatown hotel is decorated with vintage designer furniture from hotelier Loh Lik Peng’s private collection." Full review
Rough Guide "The interior has been renovated to look like a twenty-first-century version of the early 1960s, all very retro chic."
Insight Guides "Ultra-hip boutique hotel in the heart of Chinatown that has made headlines in numerous design magazines."
Time Out "In 2002, owner Peng Loh (who also owns the New Majestic) turned five colonial shophouses into this 32-room boutique property." Full review
