Carlton Hotel Singapore in City Hall
The last best 5 star hotels in Singapore on my list is a very nice place hotel in City Hall, the Carlton Hotel.
Built in 2000 with modern style design both for exterior and interior so I think they got renovation too during past 18 years, and since you will stay right in the city center of Singapore than I definitely suggest this hotel to be booked if you have a business meeting in Singapore. When you touch down Singapore with MRT than this hotel is close to MRT Bras basah, even more when you walk down for 400 meter than you will reach the City Hall MRT Station and Raffless City Shopping Center.
I definitely suggest this hotel to be booked if you have a business meeting in Singapore – Carlton Hotel
Back when in 2014 I’m having a business meeting with my couple who brought me to Bali Indonesia for wedding shooting, than I got a nice lunch too in small cafe nearby this hotel, so whatever you need than City Hall still the best place to stay.
Here you may book Carlton Hotel both via Booking.com or Agoda.com, go check both of this platform cause they were being a rival for decades so they will always compete to give the best rate for you.
Introduction of Singapore
If this gonna be your first time to visit Singapore than I’ll give you some introduction about this tiny modern country, I could say that all price will be higher than if you visiting Hong Kong but some part will more amazing in this country.
Landed in Singapore
You can reach this country easily both from air and sea, if you depart from Batam Indonesia than you can go with the ferry for just US$30 one way than you will landed in Harbor front nearby the Vivocity mall. In other case if you goes to Singapore by flight than you will be landing in one of greatest airport in world called Changi, be happy that now their T4 is already operated which belong to the number 1 airport that 100% operated by machine.

Sightseeing around the city
Singapore has very good transportation which is cheap for everyone and it called the MRT, actually it is the subway that connected all around the city in Singapore. If your destination is a far from the station than you also can connect your journey with the SBS bus. Considering to have an EZlink card that you can buy directly in the airport once you landed.
With the EZlink than you can pay all the transportation mode such as MRT, Bus, taxi, and even you can use it to pay for groceries and food in such restaurant and 7 eleven convenient store.
