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

Frommer's "Glamour drips from every chandelier onto the polished black marble floors of this groovy little boutique hotel." Full review
Travel + Leisure "Billed as Singapore’s first luxury boutique hotel, this 80-room property is located in Chinatown, surrounded by eclectic shops and late-19th-century buildings." Full review
Rough Guide "Housed in an impressive shophouse refurbishment, this boutique hotel has an exceptionally extravagant lobby."
Condé Nast Traveler99.6
"To be openly sexy in Singapore is unusual, but the 80-room Scarlet is just that, thanks to smoked-mirror ceilings, gilt wallpaper, black-marble floors, and red-velvet banquettes." Full review
Star Service "Raffles may have the history, and The Stamford the height, but The Scarlet holds its own among the city's limited number of boutique-hotels." Full review
Jetsetter "A decadent boutique property in Singapore's atmospheric Chinatown." Full review
Lonely Planet "Dark, luscious Scarlet offers great service and svelte rooms just around the corner from drinking hot spots Ann Siang Rd and Club Street." Full review
Michelin Guide "With more emphasis on decadent creature comforts than immediate visual shocks...there’s a private gym, called Flaunt, as well as an outdoor jacuzzi and a meeting room called Sanctum." Full review
