Travel + Leisure "Though celebrating its 125th birthday in 2012, the hotel is still a magnet for A-listers (Elizabeth Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and Barry Diller have all stayed here)." Full review
Rough Guide "The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."

Concierge "Swankier hotels have sprung up around this compact island nation, but the Four Seasons remains Singapore's gold standard when it comes to service and creature comforts."
Fodor's "The luxuries at this quiet, refined hotel are intended to outshine the city's older, more renowned digs." Full review
Jetsetter "British colonial-era gem in the financial district with tennis courts, a spa and top-notch Cantonese cuisine." Full review
Insight Guides "A statement in understated elegance, this hotel is located just behind Orchard Road. Luxurious interiors, large plush rooms and expensive artworks belie its rather plain façade."
Time Out "Combining the best of both worlds, Four Seasons Singapore is centrally located along Orchard Boulevard but offers the secluded privacy that one craves for the perfect weekend getaway." Full review
Star Service "Tucked into a corner of the fashionable end of Orchard Road, just five minutes from the MRT station, this hotel is snuggled in lush tropical greenery." Full review

Service standards create a high watermark, and no request is questioned.
Gayot "This 255-room five-star hotel just off Orchard Road provides a posh and reliable home away from home for business and leisure travelers alike."
Forbes Travel Guide Recommended
"The Singapore link in the posh Four Seasons hotel chain keeps up the brand’s reputation with a luxurious but residential atmosphere." Full review
Frommer's "There's a sense of intimacy and peace that's unusual among international hotels... Consider a standard room here before a suite in a less expensive hotel." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "Despite the unassuming entrance, Four Seasons Singapore takes its sumptuousness seriously." Full review
