Chinatown's pick, Mercure ICON, takes second. Accor says the hotel is directly connected to Chinatown and Telok Ayer MRT, and Chinatown is on the North East Line, a direct ride to HarbourFront by the Singapore Cruise Centre.
By road the two terminals are nearly level from Club Street: Marina Bay Cruise Centre is about 2.7 road miles (4.4 km), the Singapore Cruise Centre at HarbourFront 2.8 road miles. The train serves the Singapore Cruise Centre. For Marina Bay Cruise Centre there's no direct train, because the line ends at Marina South Pier on the North-South Line.
There's a swimming pool, Chara Brasserie, a halal buffet, and La Table d'Emma. Breakfast costs extra, per Accor, and the page gives no parking terms.
Book it if your ship is at HarbourFront, and plan on a taxi if it's at Marina Bay.
Book it if
- Your ship is at HarbourFront and you want the North East Line from Chinatown.
- You'd like a halal buffet and a pool.
- You want Club Street's bars outside.
Look elsewhere if
- You need breakfast included.
- You're sailing from Marina Bay and want a direct train.
- You need the parking rate or room sizes.
47, and the train counts for one terminal
The 12 train points are real but one-sided: Chinatown runs to HarbourFront, and Marina Bay has no direct train. Add 25 for distance and 10 for the pool and restaurants. Breakfast is a paid extra — so it scores nothing. The scale tops out at 100.
Club Street to two terminals
From Club Street the two terminals are almost level by road, 2.7 miles to Marina Bay Cruise Centre and 2.8 to HarbourFront on our routing. What separates them is the rail. The rail decides this one, not the road.
