Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa

Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa is a luxury resort, located on a cliff for panoramic views of the South China Sea. The resort's decor includes a combination of intricate French design, along with Singapore's colonial heritage. The lobby is a large, open-air affair, with an extravagant plush pink ceiling and orchards in the floor tiles. The resort offers a tranquil setting with palm tree-lined swimming pool, ponds, surrounding forests, and roaming peacocks. The large outdoor swimming pool is surrounded by sun loungers, day beds, and umbrellas. The relaxing and tranquil ambience makes this resort popular among couples and honeymooners. Though there are limited activities available for young kids, families also stay here. 

The resort is located on the quieter side of Sentosa Island, next to Tanjong Golf Course and surrounding forests. It's only a two-minute walk to Tanjong Beach, and 12-minute walk to Serapong Golf Course. It's a seven-minute drive to the island's main tourist attraction, Resort World -- the massive entertainment complex that includes Universal Studios. Singapore's mainland downtown area is a 15-minute drive via the Sentosa Gateway. There's not much in the way of public transport surrounding the hotel, however the resort does offer a free shuttle service to VivoCity Shopping Mall and Paragon Shopping Centre, where there are also bus stops and subway stations. It's a 25-minute cab ride to the Changi International Airport.

The 215 guest rooms at Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resort & Spa feature Parisian-style decor, inspired by Paris's Jardin du Luxembourg.
