 
Tailor Made Holidays to Singapore
This fascinating tropical isle is an amalgam of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western cultures. Singapore's sophisticated skyline is set against lush gardens, tree lined boulevards and contrasting traditional architecture, crafts and customs.
Whether visiting Singapore as a stop-over or as part of a multi-centre itinerary the choice of some of the world's finest hotels can be made at reasonable prices, not to mention the culinary tour of restaurants and food courts for which Singapore is famous.
Upon arriving at the award winning Changi International Airport, accredited taxis will promptly whisk you downtown. If you have come for the shopping then a hotel close to Orchard Road like The Orchard would be ideal, or perhaps the deluxe Goodwood Park Hotel, a historical landmark.
However, if you wish to experience the more traditional parts of Singapore then choose a hotel close to Chinatown or close to the Bugis area like the first class Albert Court Hotel or 5 star InterContinental, both of which retain their colonial heritage. An alternative would be to stay alongside the Singapore River in the conservation area of Clarke Quay.
Here you will find the Swissotel Merchant Court Hotel having easy access to Clarke Quay and Boat Quay where there are numerous restaurants, pubs, bars and food courts, and where you will also find the relocated Satay Club from which numerous stalls sell mouth-watering Malay Satay sticks, rice and noodles, all washed down with Singapore's famous Tiger Beer.
Close by to the Suntec City Convention Complex and Raffles City is Marina Square where there are a number of other 5 star hotels of which we recommend the Meritus Marina Mandarin and the Marina Bay Sands.
Getting around Singapore is extremely easy. The air-conditioned subway system (MRT) can take you to most parts of the island, buses and taxis are plentiful, and even though cars are very expensive, a rental car can still cost less than two persons on a sightseeing tour and you have 24 hours to explore under your own steam.
