Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Singapore (2026)

Singapore's most exclusive hotel property — a Norman Foster-designed resort on Sentosa Island that combines restored colonial bungalows with contemporary villas around a central arrival hall. Capella gained global attention when it hosted the 2018 Trump-Kim summit, and the privacy and discretion it provided for that event are standard for all guests. The two pools, the extensive spa, and the remarkably intimate scale (112 rooms and villas) create a genuine retreat within 15 minutes of downtown Singapore.

Singapore's most acclaimed boutique hotel — 73 rooms designed with an obsessive attention to detail that rivals the large luxury properties at roughly half the price. Each room has a different colour palette; the rooftop pool with its spectacular city view is the best hotel pool per room ratio in Singapore; and the service culture feels genuinely personal rather than corporate. The City Hall location puts you walking distance from Raffles, the National Gallery, and the Singapore River.

The grande dame of Southeast Asian hospitality — opened in 1887 and recently restored to its colonial peak. The Long Bar (birthplace of the Singapore Sling), the Palm Court, the Writers Bar: Raffles operates as both a hotel and a living museum of Singapore's colonial and literary history. Every room is a suite — 115 of them — with ceiling fans, teak floors, and private verandas. The 2019 restoration added a new pool and spa while preserving everything worth preserving. This is the hotel that tells you where you are before you've unpacked.

The best-designed contemporary hotel in Singapore — Hyatt's lifestyle brand took over a tower in Kampong Glam and filled it with Peranakan-influenced art, a spectacular lobby bar (Mr. Stork on the rooftop), and some of the most thoughtfully detailed rooms in the city. The neighbourhood itself — kampong Glam's Arab Street, Haji Lane boutiques, and Malay Heritage Centre — gives staying here a cultural context that the CBD hotels lack. The rooftop pool and bar attract Singapore's most design-conscious crowd.

The most recognisable building in Asia — three towers topped by a 340-metre sky park with an infinity pool that appears to pour into the Singapore skyline. Marina Bay Sands is as much a city landmark as a hotel, and the experience of staying here justifies the reputation: the 57th-floor pool view is genuinely unlike anything else in hospitality. The hotel's Celebrity Chef restaurant complex (Waku Ghin, Cut, db Bistro) is the best dining concentration in Singapore. Book upper floors in a city-view room to face the Marina Bay Sands light show from across the water — or stay here and watch it from the SkyPark.

The most considered boutique hotel in Singapore at the lower end of the luxury spectrum — 34 rooms designed around concrete, timber, and greenery, with a small pool in a tropical garden setting that feels impossibly calm given the Orchard Road shopping district is three minutes' walk away. Lloyds Inn has cultish reviews among design-minded solo and couple travelers who want something genuinely distinctive without paying Capella prices. The garden is the hotel's best feature — request a ground-floor room for direct access.
