Introduction | Westin Singapore

Located at Marina Bay and surrounded by various Fortune 500 tech and financial companies, this is highly sought after luxury hotel in Singapore and provides an escape for both business travelers and locals alike. I found myself in Singapore once more for work and decided to utilize my Marriott points here - I utilized only 118,000 points (3 nights, which is quite a bargain, really) for my stay.

While most people would categorize this property as a “business hotel” - I really thought its service and location trended more in the luxury and modern type of hotel. It features a beautiful infinity pool and a jacuzzi, along with a full fledged gym and a spa.

The Hotel | Westin Singapore

There are two lobbies - the first one is on the ground floor as you approach the Westin Singapore from your taxi or Grab. The concierge downstairs will then direct you to the 32nd floor, which is where the main lobby is located at. It is considered one of the highest hotel lobbies in Singapore and has some views that anyone would likely enjoy. Here, the Seasonal Taste restaurant and the lounge bar is located here.

Check-in was incredibly pleasant and the front desk agent was so friendly and affable. Since I arrived early due to my flight (5:45am arrival), she gave me access to the Club Lounge and also directed me to one of their shower facility, which was a great way to rejuvenate for the day.

Larger Guest Room | Westin Singapore

As a Marriott Platinum Elite member, I was given an upgrade a day before I flew to Singapore and was upgraded to the Larger Guest Room, which features two floor-to-ceiling windows, as the Regular and Deluxe rooms only have one. In terms of actual space, it does seem better due to the massive walkway that the room carries.

The beds at the Westin brand need no introduction but you can bet your last dollar that you’re gonna get a fantastic rest, and the Westin Singapore doesn’t disappoint. They provide lavender aromatherapy balm to help relax you before you sleep, along with solid soundproofing and two tier curtains, blocking out any chance of light to seep into your room.

There are two panels next to each side of the bed in which you will be able to control the lights, as well as other room functions. Controlling the curtains requires another access panel near the windows. I really liked the abundance of natural light (and sometimes a bit too much, haha) from the Larger Guest Room design - you can’t complain about the views at all. If you’re itching to watch TV, then there is a large TV that can be found to swivel to meet your viewing angles.

I really appreciated the massive large work desk by the window as it was perfect for me to get work done during the mornings. Looking out to the Singapore skyline while working does have its vibes. There is also another panel near the desk that features outlets for your electronics. Do note that the outlets here are type G and the standard voltage is 230V. You’ll probably want to bring an adapter or kindly borrow one from the hotel.

Turndown service was immaculate and I found myself each night with a set of dark chocolates and a couple bottles of water, which I’m so thankful for. I drink a ton each day and this was really great to utilize from housekeeping. During my stay, I was given a special welcome amenity gift along with a series of snacks and nuts that I found to be insanely delicious. I was also given a cheesecake that I paired with a Nespresso coffee, making the night super relaxing. It’s a great gesture and I love the hospitality from the front desk and concierge team here.

Bathroom | Westin Singapore

The Westin Singapore has some of the most grandiose bathrooms out there - with its massive ceilings it feels like another room in itself at times. The marble bathroom is a beautiful space that overlooks the city.

My bathroom had a freestanding bathtub that also featured a stand-in shower. There is an automated blind that allows you to shower in private, or if you’re the type that likes to enjoy the sights, you can also enjoy the floor-to-ceiling views of the outdoors as you bathe.

The Westin White Tea amenities are some of the best in my opinion, as they smell and last so long. They’re quite premium and while it’s not as lavish as say, Le Labo or Aesop, I wouldn’t mind bringing a set back to the United States. Sadly, the hotel has also towards static bottles, which is unfortunately the trend for all hotels going forward.

Breakfast | Club Lounge

The club lounge here is fantastic. As a Platinum member, I was granted lounge access that served breakfast in the morning, tea time in the afternoon and happy hours at night. The spread isn’t shabby at all - it’s quite generous and there’s even an egg station up there as well. The lounge attendants were fantastic and incredibly friendly. Within a day they recognized who I was and remembered a lot of my preference, which was great.

Breakfast | Seasonal Tastes

I took a day trying the breakfast at Seasonal Tastes and was not disappointed at all. The breakfast spreads are extensive and featured almost every type of Asian breakfast. There is a an plethora of healthy options and a daily fresh juice offering, which I gladly partook in. In addition, there is also an egg station that you can have someone make your omelet or a sunny-side up egg.

Amenities | Westin Singapore

The pool served as an urban oasis for many with an Infinity pool setting. It was popular in the morning and the latter half of the evening, which various people coming in and out for a tan or a splash.

The gym is located on the 35th floor alongside the spa and the club lounge, and has a series of extensive equipment that I found to be great. I got a great workout in and felt incredibly focused during the latter part of my day.

Conclusion | Westin Singapore

I love this hotel. Considering the amount of points vs. the cash price, it was an insane value for the buck and is among one of the best Marriott properties in Singapore. Considering how competitive the luxury and business hotel market is in this country, it shines with its location that is ideal for sightseeing or for work. The Marina Bay Sands is literally a stop away or a 12-15 minute walk. The views are incredible, the rooms are fantastic and I didn’t even know we had a spa that was free for guests! Talk about being more excited about coming back in the future!
