Grand Copthorne Waterfront

This spectacular hotel is located along Singapore’s pretty waterfront overlooking the Singapore River, offering four excellent dining options and stylish guestrooms.

Bedrooms are simple but tastefully decorated in contemporary fashion, with minibars, flat screen TVs, complimentary WiFi and a nightly turndown service. To upgrade, opt for one of the more recently updated rooms that feature elegant marble bathrooms and views of the river, or one of the 24 serviced suites that vaunt floor-to-ceiling windows, cosy living rooms and river views. And, after days spent exploring, there's a Jacuzzi, swimming pool and tennis courts to take advantage of.

Children will love the interactive show kitchens, or there's an Italian eatery that offers fresh seafood and wood-fired pizzas. We particularly like the traditional Shanghainese 1940s-style restaurant, where the likes of roasted peking duck and ‘drunken chicken’ are on the menu. Enjoy it all after drinks in the chic bar or newly-renovated lounge, indulging in expertly-concocted cocktails, or even hire the private dining area for an extra-special occasion.

Take advantage of the tours organised directly by the hotel – you’ll immerse yourself in the street markets of Chinatown, stroll among the Gardens by the Bay's spectacular indoor waterfall and explore the myriad Indian and Chinese temples in Little India. Other landmarks are just moments away from the hotel’s central location, including iconic Raffles Place, the shops of Orchard Road and the buzzing neighbourhoods of Boat Quay and Clarke Quay. What’s more, you're just a few minutes drive from the idyllic beaches of Sentosa Island and the Universal Studios Singapore amusement park.
