Singapore’s hotel scene reflects its unique cultural makeup. Despite the country’s small size, it has a diverse portfolio of hotels, from luxury to budget, boutique to big-brand, tech-heavy to cozy and quaint.

You’ve probably heard of Marina Bay Sands and its sky-high luxury infinity pool, or Raffles Singapore, which reportedly invented the boozy cocktail Singapore Sling in the early 1900s. What you may not know, though, is that there are several properties across all major U.S. brands (Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton, IHG, and beyond) where you can use your points.

Here’s where to stay in Singapore if you’ve got a stash of hotel points.

What To Know About Visiting Singapore

Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world, so you probably won’t run into issues no matter where you stay. However, it’s important to note that your U.S. passport must have 6 months of validity in order for you to enter the country. You’ll also want to be aware of local laws, which can be much stricter than those in other destinations. For example, you could be fined for drunk or disorderly conduct, jaywalking, or littering. It’s even against the law to carry chewing gum or forget to flush a public toilet.

Singapore’s rainiest months are November to January, but it’s warm year-round. March to August are the driest periods. You don’t need any vaccinations to enter, but wearing mosquito repellent, especially during rainy periods, is a good idea to prevent mosquito-borne illnesses. Singapore uses the Singapore dollar as its currency, and $1 is equivalent to SG$1.29 at the time of publishing.

Where To Stay in Singapore: A Neighborhood Guide

Although Singapore is small, it’s home to many different areas. Here are some of the top places to stay:

  • Orchard Road: One of the most central areas to stay in Singapore, this area is full of restaurants and known for shopping.
  • Marina Bay: This entertainment district has many glamorous, luxurious hotels. It also has attractions like the ArtScience Museum and the famed Gardens by the Bay.
  • The Quays: These waterfront areas — Clarke Quay, Robertson Quay, and Boat Quay — are chock-full of bars, clubs, and restaurants, ideal for travelers who want to explore the after-dark scene.
  • Sentosa: This island is home to Universal Studios Singapore, but it can feel inconvenient for a first-timer who wants to enjoy everything the mainland has to offer. It’s best for those who want to have a quieter visit, explore beaches, or have a family-friendly theme park getaway.
  • Kampong Glam: Known as the Muslim Quarter, this hipster neighborhood has street art, boutiques, cafes, and restaurants.
  • Little India: This colorful and cultural area has Indian temples and cuisine. It’s especially lively during festivals like Holi.
  • Chinatown: The winding streets of this zone are home to Chinese restaurants, temples, and traditional Chinese architecture.
