Once home to the General Post Office, the Fullerton is one of Singapore’s grande dames. It has the extensive amenities you'd expect at a 5-pearl hotel, including four stately dining venues, a bar, a well-equipped fitness center (though machines lack individual TVs), a spa, and a pretty infinity pool with views of the Marina Bay and the skyline. There's even an art gallery and a room with a permanent exhibit of stamps, maps and old photographs. But it’s starting to show its age, and rooms, though luxurious, lack wow factor; they have neutral color palettes and hard mattresses. Its fairly central location and understated elegance make it a fine luxury pick, but it’s worth checking prices at its more impressive sister property, the Fullerton Bay Hotel.

The St. Regis Singapore is one of the city's most luxurious hotels. Rooms are large -- even entry-level Executive Deluxe units -- and feature great city views along with nice extras like pillow menus and free-to-use Handy phones. The huge marble bathrooms have standalone soaking tubs and premium spa-ready bath products. Additional hotel features include an outdoor pool, a luxurious spa, and round-the-clock butler service. There are numerous dining options here as well, including Cantonese and Italian fare. However, the hotel's location isn't the best, as the Orchard Metro station is a 10-minute-walk away -- less-than-ideal by Singapore standards. Travelers can consider the nearby Grand Hyatt Singapore if they wish to be closer to public transportation and don't mind losing out on features like 24-hour butler service and spacious bathrooms.

The Hotel Fort Canning is a modern boutique in a beautifully restored historic military building. This early 20th century building has been completely renovated and includes lovely rooms with innovative layouts. Some room categories feature open bathrooms and private decks, while all have plush beds, international plug extensions, and flat-screen TVs.

The excellent property amenities include three pools -- one for kids -- along with an Asian bistro, a pizza bar, a cocktail lounge, and a fitness center. The hotel is in a quiet location on a hilltop surrounded by a park, but is close to most attractions and four subway lines.

The 615-room Furama RiverFront is a mid-range hotel on a quiet street in the River Valley area, next to an untouched nature reserve. It's close to nightlife in Robertson and Boat Quays, and Chinatown, but a 15-minute walk to the nearest MRT station.

Grand Park City Hall is an elegant four-pearl hotel in a top location for shopping and nightlife -- Raffles City shopping district and Clarke Quay are within a five-minute walk away. The ongoing renovations are undoubtedly a nuisance, with the pool and leisure facilities out of action, but should be completed by the of end 2018 and much of the hotel and two restaurants are operating as normal. There's a good variety of food and places to kick-back, and the 333-rooms are all spacious and equipped with smart technology. The top-floor Suites feature outdoor whirlpools and views over the city.

Naumi Hotel is a super-stylish, upscale boutique hotel located in Singapore's business district, surrounded by excellent restaurants and high-end shopping. While the hotel's highlight is the superb infinity pool with awesome city views, the 73 guest rooms are also impressive with outstanding technology -- though beware some are small and windowless. The Naumi is one of the most hip and happening hotels in the city, but if travelers want something a bit more traditional, the Conrad Centennial Singapore near the marina offers a good alternative.
