In my life as a traveler and travel journalist, Singapore has long eluded me, though the city-state (and its famed Singapore Airlines) has always been front of mind. Ahead of a work trip to Japan at the end of 2025, I finally had the chance to visit (though, sadly, not in one of Singapore Airlines' famed suites), giving me a great opportunity to check into The St. Regis Singapore, a popular points hotel that has recently undergone a significant remodel.
Here's a rundown of some of the things that have changed — and some that have stayed the same — at the hotel, which originally opened in 2008 and is located just steps away from high-end shops on world-famous Orchard Road.
A few other standout features of my suite included a seriously stunning bathroom with a soaking tub, lots of mirrors, a beautiful flower-inspired tile floor and earth-toned marble walls that made every trip to the restroom feel like I was in a palace. There were also large TVs that I could stream to directly (helping me out when the jet lag kicked in) and convenient technology upgrades that made it easy to charge my phone and laptop or control lights and curtains without having to move very far.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
