"Just blocks away from Raffles Place and the Singapore stock exchange, Sofitel So Singapore artfully marries architectural and artistic styles in a spirited fusion that its host city is known for." Full review
"The Sofitel So doesn't take itself too seriously, displaying a kind of Ian Schrager-meets-Philippe Starck postmodern whimsy and flair." Full review

"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
"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."
"Though located at the end of Robertson Quay, this riverside hotel is more suited to corporate travellers than tourists." Full review
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
"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
