Posted May 28, 2009 by BookingBuddy

Singapore is a regional hub for many airlines, with many currently offering cheap flights to Singapore. Its compact size makes it the perfect stopover destination. The city-state is renowned as a gastronomic paradise, and offers a wide range of cuisines to satisfy your tastebuds. And for shopaholics, the islands many shopping malls and department stores are guaranteed to burn a deep hole in your wallet. When you’re tired from all that shopping and eating, you’ll need somewhere to rest your weary head – here, we offer three choices for your consideration.

Splurge – Raffles Hotel 
Step back into the country’s colonial past and book yourself a room in Singapore’s most renowned hotel. The famous Singapore Sling cocktail was invented in the hotel’s Long Bar nearly a hundred years ago. With over twelve dining establishments and a large shopping arcade within its historic grounds, you’ll never even have to leave the hotel if you don’t want to. Have break by the pool and walk in the footsteps of Somerset Maugham, Elizabeth Taylor, Ava Gardner and Charlie Chaplin, all of whom have also enjoyed the hotel’s luxurious services.

For sensational harbour views, look no further than this waterfront hotel. Located by bustling Marina Bay, the Mandarin Oriental is a short hop to the city’s business and entertainment districts. There are a number of highly praised restaurants within the hotel that offer a wide range of cuisines. And if sampling them all has taken its toll on your waistline, then head to their Fitness Studio to arrange a one-on-one session with their personal trainers.
