Fodor's "Large windows throughout this hotel give full focus to the Singapore River. Standard rooms have a resort feel with their parquet floors and rattan furniture." Full review
Lonely Planet "Of the several hotels clustered at the Robertson Quay end of the river (the closest MRT is Tiong Bahru, but it’s not within walking distance), the fanciest is this imposing place."
Time Out "Though located at the end of Robertson Quay, this riverside hotel is more suited to corporate travellers than tourists." Full review
