ADVERTORIAL
WHERE TO STAY
We look at the city’s range of
accommodation across its more than
60,000 room inventory that won’t break
the budget. Situated across Singapore’s
diverse neighbourhoods, the majority of
these contemporary hotels come in at less
than $200 a night, leaving more in the
kitty to enjoy the rest this cosmopolitan
city has to offer.
Singapore is one of
Asia’s main air, sea and
telecommunications hubs
with market access to some 4 billion
people within a 7-hour flight radius.
Newton/Novena/Balestier
Clarke Quay/Singapore River
Restaurants, bars or nightlife – Clarke
Quay has it in spades. And there are
plenty of hotels in the mix as well with
The Four Points by Sheraton Singapore,
Riverview, Swissotel Merchant
Court, Singapore and Novotel Singapore

the action.
