Where to Stay in Singapore: Best Areas & Hotels

Being a compact city, most hotels in Singapore are concentrated in a few main areas. The newly constructed Marina Bay has most of the city's luxury and high-end chain hotel options that will appeal to families, as well as couples. Across Marina Bay is the Civic District, also known as the Downtown Core, where many of the city's civic buildings and museums are located. Clarke Quay is one of the oldest areas of the city, next to the Singapore River, yet recent redevelopment has made it the city's newest hot spot to stay and play.
