The S$260 transfer by the hotel's purring new Bentley is a rather nice way to kick off an arrival in Singapore. Hotel staff swarm as the Flying Spur glides to a halt. Everyone has memorised your name and they constantly remind you of your name, a little forced and not quite the same as being acknowledged at the Carlyle.

Rooms are very thoughtfully designed and decorated and provide every comfort. Could have done with a bed side clock as in the middle of the night negotiating the lighting panel is no mean feat. Still only once and melatonin covered off the other nights.

Bathrooms are well equipped with excellent La Remede ungents in full size containers, the exfoliating shower gel is to be highly recommended. Lighting moods allow one to always look good even if reality may not be so kind.

Wasn't sure about Les Saveurs, rather silly water feature outside reminding me of Liberace's Dancing Waters ie tasteless. Room is too big and hideous light features. However fine for breakfast, service fast and efficient. The poolside restaurant is very pleasant and largely ignored which is not warranted as it is nicely decked out with good food.

The pool is as noted elsewhere a little short of sun given it is surrounded by rather undistinguished mid-rise towers and although well appointed, it is not somewhere to really linger. However, it is a good size and ideal for laps. The spa area is great with a fantastic steam room, sauna, large whirlpool and a relaxing outdoor onsen pool.

Business centre staff very helpful in getting documents printed and bound.

The building is not a beauty by any stretch and the lobby area could do with a little more thought and better spacing as too much is pushed to the sides making them feel crowded.

Cannot believe that anyone would prefer the mustering pile of the Fullerton with its inward facing airport hotel style rooms, other rooms with windows above headhight and a pervading smell of damp to this well managed, designed and serviced property. Still some people enjoy caravan holidays but I don't.

We stayed at the St. Regis for the first time and we found the experience fantastic. We have been coming to Singapore for over 25 years and this is the best new hotel in years. Normal stay would be in the Shang or the Ritz, but the Regis is a new standard. Great rooms, fantastic service and a pretty good location. Downside is the pool area which has no privacy. Upside is the style and the willing of the staff to really make your stay comfortable. We have found a new home in Singapore

I stayed 5 nights in the St Regis and it delivered in every respect. Room size and quality of furnishings, both practical and electronic-brillliantly luxurious. Extremely pleasant and do-anything-to-help staff at every level and the room butler is a brilliant idea - all my clothes pressed on arrival, bags unpacked, perfect. Close to all the retail brands. The 5.30 wine tasting every evening is a perfect way to unwind and meet some of the other guests. Breakfasts are great, and the staff go out of their way to make you your idiosyncratic drinks - and then remember them the next day. Food in the Chinese restaurant is fab, especially the dim sum. I was also unwell on one day and the room with its day and night autoblinds, made even this an OK experience. I cannot speak too highly of the St Regis and can only say try it, you won't be disappointed. Spoil yourself with a trip in the Bentley on the way to the airport!

Hello, just thought i'd give a TR on my stay at the Singapore St. Regis this month.

Prelude:
About two months before the trip I managed to get a good rate at the Singapore St. Regis with their "Taste of Luxury" package. Basically it was 740SGD (including tax) per night but the fourth night was free. Breakfast was included in this rate. So with a four night stay it worked out at $555SGD (about $400 us with tax). A hot breakfast at the St. Regis runs a expensive $40SGD a person. So with breakfast included it saved us $80 a day, so all in all it was a pretty good deal.

St. Regis Bentley Service:

Arrived from London on the A380 and was picked up by Jetquay .
The Bentley service is $265 SGD including the use of Jetquay, Singapore's CIP terminal who will take you in a buggy to your plane. It is quite an expense but they were bought at the cost of $800,000 a piece. Our driver was very friendly yet professional at the same time. Chilled water in the back seat, plenty of legroom, only problem was that it was too short!

Check-In:
About five staff members swarmed the Bentley upon our arrival (and I saw them do the same to every guest that arrived during the week, not just in the Bentley) and took our bags. We were escorted to checkin which was a very painless procedure. They had already processed our information and we just had to sign on the dotted line. We were then handed over to a Butler who escorted us to our room (via the very fancy elevators) and showed us around.

The Room:
WOW. That is all that can really sum it up. You walk into a marble foyer with wood accents. To the right is the bathroom with dual sinks, a lovely deep tub and a Plasma TV built into the mirror next to it. The shower had great pressure and a full length heated mirror, so NO fog. The main room itself has a 42inch plasma, nice wood desk, WONDERFUL bed, and ample storage space. My descriptions or pictures cant really do the rooms justice, you really have to be there to experience it. Great views of singapore from the windows. Bedside controls control the lighting and curtains in the room. VERY high tech room. Surround Sound BOSE stereo system in the room.

Service:
To be honest, I didnt think I would need a butler until I had one. It was really nice to be able to call him when you need something hemmed, want a cup of tea or coffee brought to your room, or need something . pressed. Very personable service, and very professional.

Pool:
Small but very nice and relaxing. Dosent get much sun so not very warm. Pool Staff will bring you misters, cold towels, ice water, and fresh fruit. Great idea.

SPA:
It was great. You get free use of the facilities as a guest and they were great. Nice indoor whirlpool, steam room, sauna, ice fountain, rain-shower etc. It is nearly completely made of marble. Also has an outside whirpool. They're are two of these facilities, one for men, one for women.

Final Thoughts:
What I wished this hotel would do better is advertise what they offer service wise. I looked through the inroom manual and many of the complimentery services the hotel offers were not in their. For example:

- The Butler will bring you complimentery tea and coffee 24/7
- Free use of spa facilities (most of the time I was the only one in there)
- Ipod connecter cables in the desk drawer for the inroom BOSE sound system (which was great)
- For a couple of days i was very confused on how to use the inroom controls. They're needs to be a manual on how to "operate" the room technology wise.

--------------------------------------
Conclusion:

All in all a GREAT 5* hotel with GREAT facilities, GREAT rooms and GREAT service. I would stay again in a heartbeat. The little details here make the stay so much more enjoyable. Being addressed by name almost everywhere in the hotel is a very nice touch.
