Conrad Singapore
Luxury, convenience and style set the tone at Conrad Singapore, located within easy reach of Singapore's vibrant central business district.
HOW TO GET HERE:
The best way to reach the hotel is via ride-shares or public transports.
Hotel Address: 2 Temasek Blvd, Singapore 038982
Ride-shares or Drive: It’s about 20 - 35 Minutes Ride from Changi International Airport (SIN) to the hotel entrance. Always give yourself some time with peak hour traffic. It does get heavily congested in some areas.
The only ride-share options in Singapore are Grab. The price estimated is around SGD $19 - $28 (Approx AUD $20 - $29)*
Public transportation via MRT or Bus - The cheaper option is definitely public transport. You can get 2 trains directly from the airport or a bus and a train transfer to the station.
FIRST IMPRESSIONS:
Conrad Singapore is located in the heart of Singapore - Marina Bay, making it a perfect choice for business travellers. The hotel is conveniently situated near both Raffles Place MRT station and Bras Basah MRT station, so you can easily access all parts of the city. Furthermore, popular pubs and shopping centres such as Suntec City are only a short walk away.
The hotel has a touch of vintage yet luxury decor, bright colors and luxurious accents. Paintings are filled throughout the lobby area including large vases, vintage souvenirs, women’s Chinese Cheongsam outfits, and a grand chandelier that lights up the beautiful lobby.

Room: 8/10
Breakfast at Oscar’s Restaurant wasn’t too bad. However, a prestigious brand like Conrad should have a broader range of food options. Overall, the coffee and staff's hospitality were nice.
