Fifth is Swissotel The Stamford: third of the 42-point group on distance, with the largest room count we found. It sits directly atop City Hall MRT, per its page, with 1,252 rooms and twelve places to eat.
City Hall is on the North-South Line that ends at Marina South Pier, the station Royal Caribbean names for Marina Bay Cruise Centre. Our routing puts the terminal about 3.6 road miles (5.8 km) away, 10 minutes with no traffic, and the Singapore Cruise Centre 3.7 road miles.
The hotel calls JAAN two-Michelin-starred, which is its own claim, and there are two outdoor pools. No check-in time or breakfast terms. No parking either.
Book it if you want the train under your feet, and ask about breakfast first.
