Andaz Singapore

  • Rooftop bar
  • Kampong Glam
  • Haji Lane
  • Big windows
  • Relaxed style

Floor-to-ceiling windows high above Kampong Glam, with the golden dome of the Sultan Mosque among the low shophouse roofs below.

Look down from the room and the old quarter of Kampong Glam is laid out below: low shophouses, narrow lanes and the dome of the Sultan Mosque. Andaz occupies the upper floors of a tower, and the big windows make the city part of the décor.

Mornings start at a set of small kitchens, each cooking something different, so breakfast feels more like a food street than a buffet. The tone is casual, the staff are easy-going, and nobody expects you to dress up for any of it.

Picolo’s verdict

Why we chose Andaz Singapore

It is the best base for exploring Kampong Glam, the old Malay and Arab quarter, with its cafes, textile shops and evening buzz. The rooftop bar adds a view you will want to return to.

This is a young, modern hotel with a lively feel and a busy bar. Anyone looking for colonial grandeur, hushed corridors or a slower pace should book Raffles, a few streets away.

What you get
