There is much more to Singapore than high-rise hotels. While these hotels provide stunning views of the city, you may want a bit more character.
Singapore has a wealth of boutique hotels that capture the mold of the history and future of this modern metropolitan city. Boutique hotels are great alternatives to big-brand hotels, and often cater for fewer than 100 guests. They are close to the main tourist attractions and give you a new original experience.
