Perched on a hill in a very private and strangely quiet part of Singapore, you could think you were in the jungle. This is definitely a hotel to try, for its location, ambience and stunning re-fit. We stayed for a three night stopover and it make a refreshing change from a city location, although you still are in the heart... More

Best place to stay in Singapore, great in every respect, rooms, restaurant and staff... A must stay next time! This hotel is in a very handy location to Orchard Road, Clarke Quay and the Fort Canning Park. Two restaurants and two pools to choose from made it a wonderful stay.

stayed here on my birthday in a premium room that was facing the park. It was clean, quiet. The room itself was a little bit small, with the king sized bed taking up most of the room. the bed greets you the minute you open the door. What made up for the small bed room, was the HUGE marble clad... More

From the minute we pulled up at Fort Canning we could tell that we had made the right choice. The hustle and bustle of Singapore was a mere stones throw away but the setting of the hotel was serene and peaceful. A real contrast to Orchard Road which only a 5 minute walk away. The friendly staff made us very... More

The Hotel Fort Canning is in a beautiful location, and the hotel is in a nice central location -- easy access to almost anything you want. On top of that, the hotel is in a historic building, which was refurbished a couple do years ago. That is the good part. As a business traveller, on the road 20 to 30... More

The first thing we liked was the fact it was situated in a park that was not noisy by Singapore standards, and was only three floors high. When you stop at most hotels in Singapore they are on really busy main roads and are very busy all around, not so this hotel. You can actually lie around the pool and... More

A short lovely walk up the hill from Dhoby Ghaut MRT (in the middle between Orchard Road and Raffles Place), this historic landmark building in a big quiet park has been restored by a design conscious architect, but unfortunately not to high and solid quality standards. All is still new, but the fixtures are already falling apart which is a... More

Due to be picked up at 7.00am and taken to the airport, we ordered an in-room breakfast for 6.30am (the dining room does not open until 7.00am).
