Frommer's "The most elegant of the Marina Bay atrium-style hotels... The Mandarin Oriental's restaurants and bars are excellent (though expensive), and its hushed, exotic spa is to die for. Service is superb." Full review
Concierge "The design places a premium on comfort and function, with pillow-top beds, roomy closets, a sizable work station, and ergonomic desk chairs."
Fodor's "Inside this pyramid-shape Marina Square hotel, the level of service is second to none. Subdued, modern elegance and personal attention are the hallmarks here." Full review
Lonely Planet "The sumptuous rooms here have stunning views, either over Marina Bay and the ‘durians’ of the Esplanade theatre, or the city skyline."
Travel + Leisure "This Lion City mainstay, built on reclaimed land, was renovated in 2005, with all 527 rooms and the dramatic, fan-shaped atrium receiving a facelift." Full review

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
Oyster Upper-middle-range
"The 574-room Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel is an upper-middle-range property by the river, offering views of the city and its surroundings." Full review
Star Service "Along Singapore River but far removed from the heart of the action, this bland place seems far past its prime, through low prices ensure its popularity among Asian travelers and tour groups." Full review
