Location
Inside the Resort World Sentosa, a 30-minute drive from Downtown Singapore
The Hard Rock Hotel Singapore is part of the Resort World Sentosa, a huge entertainment complex with a wide range of restaurants, hotels, shops, casinos, clubs, and attractions in western Sentosa Island. The resort is home to Universal Studios and Marine Life Park and attracts families as well as a young crowd looking for nightlife.Sentosa Island is located a 25-minute drive from the downtown area and is connected to mainland Singapore by the Sentosa Gateway. It is divided into two very distinct parts -- the tranquil, more secluded eastern half (home to golf courses, quiet resorts, and forests) and the younger, massive tourism-oriented western half, home to Resort World. The island is a good spot for golfers, nature lovers, and partiers, but those in Singapore to visit the sights are better off staying closer to Downtown.Singapore is known to have heavy traffic at all times, so the following driving times are just for guidance.- 35-minute drive to Changi International Airport
