Fodor's Expert Review Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Subdued, modern elegance and personal attention are the hallmarks of this luxurious hotel, where guest rooms feature soft peach and green color schemes, handwoven carpets, paintings of old Singapore, and Italian-marble-tile bathrooms. One-bedroom suites have lovely sitting rooms and guest washrooms. The wide selection of restaurants includes MELT, with a buffet; the American steakhouse Morton's, which has free sliders during happy hour; and the Axis Bar and Lounge, whose dishes are accompanied by panoramic city views.
