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
