    “"Will Most Definitely Return"”

    I was was totally impressed by the hotel. The staff were all very friendly and the service was prompt, sprinkled with friendliness and professionalism. It was also located strategically. There were lots of things to see and one can never claim to be bored. I will most definitely return and recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank You Swissotel Merchant Court for making our stay in Singapore so pleasurable and unforgettable.

    “Great Holiday and Business Hotel”

    Stayed here for the Singapore Grand Prix, and for a 5 days beforehand to see Singapore. Great location for the GP, short 10 minute walk around the river. Good location near Clarke quay for bars and restaurants, and access to the MRT. Lively location, but not noise rooms, particularly if you have one atthe back as we did. Great buffet breakfast range, full Asian and European fare. Friendly staff, exceptionaly quick housekeeping service - our room was usually madeup while we were at breakfast. Pool area is nice, but a little small and can get crowded. Fort Canning Hill is a short stroll away for a green oasis in the city.

    Area recommendations
    Visit Asian Civilization Museum, Botanic Gardens and Orchid centre. Check the current exhibitions at the art scince museum, we saw DAli which was very good.
