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

Frommer's "This small hotel on the edge of Little India feels like a quaint Bed & Breakfast." Full review
Concierge "The Perak Hotel (formerly Perak Lodge) is as famous in its own way as Raffles: It has long been Singapore's best little budget hotel."
Lonely Planet "A long-time favourite, the Perak Hotel... mixes a classy colonial exterior with an oriental interior complete with Buddha statues and quaint sitting and meditation spaces." Full review
Rough Guide "Set within a nicely restored shophouse and somewhat sedate – probably not a bad thing given the hullaballoo of Little India."
Time Out "Tucked behind the Little India Arcade, the Perak Hotel is ideal for soaking up local colour, while simultaneously offering a respite from the area’s hectic vibe." Full review
Oyster Budget
"The Perak Hotel is a tiny, two-pearl hotel with 35 rooms at the edge of Singapore’s bustling Little India district." Full review
