Luxury Hotel Reviews in Singapore (over 60!) now on Google Maps for Easy Reference - Perfect for Staycations and Business Travel
Nothing much has changed since 2013 when I first started The Shutterwhale as a hobby - it is still something I do on the side (I have a day job in a management consultancy) and at least 90% of my room nights in hotels each year are paid for by myself. I have been actively turning-down invites (unless it is a pre-opening preview) but in the event that I do accept a media stay from a property, I make it a point to label this clearly on the post. Over the last couple of years, I have stayed at over 70 hotels in Singapore (many of which I have stayed multiple times) and I have reviewed at least 60 of them extensively on the website. Today, I am officially releasing a link to access these hotel reviews via Google Maps - you will be able to see most of my hotel reviews in Singapore and then click-through to the full-length review if interested.

While I am still thinking of a way to categorise the hotel reviews (possibly by price), I wanted to share a link to allow staycation-goers and business travellers to look up a property quicker. Over the years, I have received numerous feedback and even though, you can access all my hotel reviews on the website, the search feature is rather limited and it is sometimes difficult to navigate through the page. As much as this is a hobby for me, I would love to receive more feedback regarding the organisation of the website and you can always reach me via email for suggestions.
The JW Marriott Auckland is still refurbishing its guest rooms and suites (with an expected completion date in November 2024). I stayed in a Deluxe Room (non-refurbished) and have found the experience to be lacking of a typical JW Marriott property.
The Ambassador Seoul - A Pullman Hotel is located in Jung-gu in Seoul and it is within walking distance of popular attractions like Myeong-dong, Dongdaemun, and the N Seoul Tower, offering good value to travellers looking for a luxury hotel that does not break the bank.
The Four Points by Sheraton Auckland is still my favourite hotel in Auckland with a dependable product at an affordable price.
The newly-opened Hyatt Place Johor Bahru Paradigm Mall in Malaysia is a new property connected to Paradigm Mall. It is also close to Taman Sutera and Bukit Indah which are both home to great local restaurants and cafes.
The Andaz Seoul Gangnam is located in a well-heeled neighborhood within walking distance of Sinsa-dong and Garosu-gil Road where you will find the coolest cafes, restaurants, and fashion brands. The beautiful property features luxury rooms and suites that feel more residential than otherwise, but it also has a solid F&B offering that you should check-out when visiting Seoul.
Located in Phrom Phong near the newly-opened EmSphere, the Bangkok Marriott Marquis Queen’s Park offers a fantastic experience for Marriott Bonvoy elite members with a solid M Club experience and a great location to enjoy shopping and food.
Located in District 1, the Le Méridien Saigon is a fantastic property (with a great club lounge) to redeem your Marriott Bonvoy points since the cash rate is considerably more expensive.
The Park Hyatt Kyoto is one of the most luxurious properties in Japan that I have ever stayed in and the perfect experience from start to finish puts it at the top of every luxury traveller’s wishlist.
The Holiday Inn Bali Sanur is just a short 3-minute stroll from the beach, and there are plenty of great restaurants in the area which makes it a fantastic property for those wanting to enjoy a laidback holiday in Bali without breaking the bank.
The Conrad Singapore Orchard reopened in late December 2023 after extensive renovations, offering modern amenities in its newly-renovated rooms and suites. Despite initial doubts, the property's updated facilities and convenient location near Orchard Road make it a preferred choice over Conrad Centennial Singapore for future stays.
