The hype
Travelers are universally relieved by the 2023 renovation, praising the new 'tropical' aesthetic and the impeccable service at the pool.
Mandarin Oriental, Singapore (Sg Clean)
$450-650 / malam
Pesan ini jika You want the absolute best view of Marina Bay Sands without actually staying inside the chaotic tourist trap that is Marina Bay Sands.
Mengapa Orang Menyukainya
- The post-2023 'Tropical Modernism' renovation finally ditched the 80s beige for lush, vibrant style
- HAUS 65 is arguably the chicest club lounge in the city (free-flow Ruinart champagne helps)
- The pool deck offers the single best swim-up view of the Singapore skyline
Ringkasan Cepat: A stunning rebirth of a classic that now feels like a botanical garden in the sky, though you'll pay a heavy premium for that bay view.
Ditinjau oleh @_bernicel: I stayed in the Penthouse suite and the views of Marina Bay Sands from my private balcony were surreal. The living space is massive and the service made me feel like a VIP. Definitely the best spot for a special occasion in Singapore.

- You are a design nerd who appreciates 'Tropical Modernism' (think rattan, orchids, and batik)
- You need a power-breakfast spot that impresses clients (Embu is excellent)
- You want to walk to the F1 track or Esplanade theaters

“I would love a renovated Marina Bay View room on a high floor (20+), ideally away from the elevator bank to minimize atrium noise. If available, a room with a direct view of the MBS light show would be fantastic.”
FAQ & Tips Tersembunyi
Semua yang perlu Anda ketahui sebelum memesan.
Is the renovation actually finished?
Yes, fully reopened in September 2023. The 'tired' reviews from 2022 are no longer relevant.
Is the Club Lounge worth the extra cost?
Absolutely. HAUS 65 offers free-flow champagne, afternoon tea, and a chauffeur service within 2km. It pays for itself if you drink.
Can I walk to Marina Bay Sands?
Yes, via the Helix Bridge. It's a scenic 10-15 minute walk.
Is breakfast included?
Depends on your rate. The buffet at Embu is excellent but costs ~$60++ SGD if paid separately.
Does the hotel have a shuttle?
No general shuttle, but HAUS 65 guests get a complimentary chauffeur car for short distances (weekdays only).
Is it kid-friendly?
Yes, but with caveats. There's a kids' pool and special buffet corner at Embu, but the vibe is definitely more 'adult luxury' than 'family resort'.

5 hal yang perlu Anda tahu sebelum pergi
💡The atrium architecture is stunning but acts as a giant echo chamber; ask for a room far from the central void.
💡The 'City View' actually includes a lot of highway and mall rooftop — manage your expectations.
💡You can watch the Marina Bay Sands light show (Spectra) from your room if you book a Bay View room — tune your radio to the simulcast.
💡The gym has a chandelier. Yes, really.
💡There is a hidden 'kids' buffet' section in Embu that is lower to the ground so little ones can serve themselves.
