The verdict

Level on 42 with its neighbours and just behind Pullman by road, Fairmont Singapore is fourth. It's the only hotel in our list whose own cruise-guest blog gives the drive: about 10 to 15 minutes to Marina Bay Cruise Centre and 15 to 20 to the Singapore Cruise Centre.

The hotel sits above City Hall MRT, with direct access, and our routing puts Marina Bay Cruise Centre about 3.6 road miles (5.7 km) away. The blog lists no shuttle, luggage forwarding or package, and it says the concierge can help with transfers.

There are 778 rooms, each with a balcony, outdoor pools and the Willow Stream Spa. Twelve restaurants and bars are split with the Swissotel next door. No check-in time or breakfast terms. No parking either.

Book it if the hotel's own word on the ride matters to you, and ask the concierge for a price before you rely on them.

Book it if

  • You want the hotel's own written drive times to both terminals.
  • You want a balcony in every room.
  • You want City Hall MRT under the building.

Look elsewhere if

  • You need the check-in time or breakfast terms in advance.
  • You need a printed shuttle or luggage service — there isn't one.
  • You want parking terms.

Fairmont is the only hotel on the list that tells cruise guests the drive in its own blog. Our routing says 3.6 road miles and 8 minutes to Marina Bay Cruise Centre, a touch quicker than the hotel's figure. Plan on the blog's figure, not our quicker one.

Score

42, and the blog earns no points

42No. 4 of 20

The 42 is distance (20), a train (12) and the evening (10). The blog's drive times are the hotel's own words — but they aren't a shuttle, a package or a fare, so the ship column stays at zero. The scale tops out at 100.
