Andaz Singapore: Pre-Cruise Hotel Review

The verdict

A walkway to Bugis Junction is the main draw at Andaz Singapore, sixteenth. Hyatt says an underground walkway joins the hotel to Bugis Junction MRT, which is on the East-West and Downtown Lines — so there's no direct train to a terminal station.

Our routing puts Marina Bay Cruise Centre about 4.1 road miles (6.6 km) away, 10 minutes. It's a suite-led hotel with an infinity pool, five places to eat and drink, including Mr. Stork on the roof, and accessible rooms. Pets aren't allowed except service animals.

The page gives no check-in time, breakfast terms or parking.

Book it for the rooftop and the suites, and take a taxi to the ship.

To the Ship

Bugis Junction, and no direct train

This hotelOther ranked hotels, tap one to open itCruise terminalStraight line to the ship, not a routeReal geography: NOAA’s GSHHG shoreline, generalised; Marina South, Marina Bay and part of Sentosa’s south coast, which it misses, are rough outlines sketched around our pins, not surveyed, so Marina Bay’s basin and the harbour piers aren’t drawn. Map pins from the Esri World Geocoder: address matches, except Marina Bay Sands and Shangri-La, which are name matches. The terminal pins are Esri’s street points for 61 Marina Coastal Drive and 5 HarbourFront Avenue, not berths.

Marina Bay Cruise Centre is about 4.1 road miles away on our routing, 10 minutes, and the Singapore Cruise Centre 4.3. Hyatt prints no cruise distance. The walkway is the MRT link, not the ship's.

Leg 1 · The train to a terminal's station

Rail link not documented
