The St. Regis, a new addition to a city chock-full of 5-star accommodation, offers high-quality service and an array of extravagant extras (e.g. guests can call on the Bentley car fleet or a Blackberry-toting, personal butler, available 24-hours a day). Vibrant colors, Czech crystal, and art from the likes of Botero, Chagall, and Picasso accent the airy public spaces, creating a lavish but lively look – formal but never stuffy. The rooms are also bright and plush, with thoughtfully arranged seating areas and spacious bathrooms with stand-alone tubs and flat-screen TVs. Request a room overlooking Tanglin Road for a view of a serene, green swatch of the city. The location is central, but quiet, on the edge of the Orchard Road hustle and bustle. Pros: decadent Sunday champagne brunch; first-rate spa facilities, personal butler service; Bentley car service. Cons: detached from areas such as The Historic District and Marina Bay.
