The Four Seasons Singapore has cemented a reputation as one of the most luxurious hotels in the city-state, and has been undergoing a comprehensive renovation since 2016.
Having recently begun my journey of exploring Four Seasons’s footprint around the world, I was feeling curious as to how the Singapore location would compare.
Four Seasons Singapore – Booking
Four Seasons is widely considered one of the world’s most luxurious group of hotels, and is arguably one of the best-known luxury hotel brands in the world.
With that, the Four Seasons Singapore commands a premium price tag. Anticipate spending $500–700 SGD ($510–710 CAD) for a standard room, with the cost varying based on the time of year. In my case, I booked this stay at a favourable industry rate.
It’s worth pointing out that unlike other popular hotel chains, such as Marriott Bonvoy and World of Hyatt , Four Seasons doesn’t have a traditional loyalty program that awards points and elite status.
Instead, the brand has an exclusive invitation-only guest recognition program reserved for its most elite clientele who have a long-standing history with the chain.
The good news is that there’s a method to squeeze more value out of your Four Seasons stays. By booking your accommodation via the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program, you can enjoy a range of additional benefits and perks without any extra charges, such as free breakfast for two, a $100 (USD) property credit, and more.
Additionally, the Four Seasons Preferred Partner program stands out from other similar initiatives, such as Virtuoso or Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts , because the program allows you to take advantage of all promotional rates in conjunction with Preferred Partner benefits.
Whether you’re booking a prepaid, promotional, flexible, or fully refundable rate, you’ll always receive Preferred Partner benefits by booking through an advisor.

There’s a wide range of dining and shopping options just steps away from the hotel, and a five-minute walk outside will take you to the underpass to ION Mall and Orchard Road, where the action lies.
Plus, it’s a leisurely stroll to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with lush greenery and lakes.
Singapore is a city with many iconic landmarks, and the hotel is well situated near several of them. Merlion and Marina Bay Sands Skypark are a short 10-minute drive to the south of the hotel, while Gardens by the Bay is an additional five-minute drive in the same direction.
When it comes to getting around the city, the Four Seasons Singapore is conveniently only a three-minute walk from the Orchard MRT. Moreover, buses, taxis and Grab (the South East Asian equivalent of Uber) are also readily available.
Lastly, travelling to the Four Seasons from Singapore Changi Airport is just a 25-minute journey via Grab and costs around $17–25 SGD ($17–25 CAD). The hotel can arrange car service and taxis on your behalf as well, albeit for an additional charge.
Four Seasons Singapore – Check-in
As the Four Seasons Singapore was built in 1994, the hotel’s exterior may appear unassuming at first, with its beige cement and small glass windows.
However, upon arrival, the scenery is more visually appealing, with lush greenery surrounding the entrance exuding a sense of tranquillity.

Pulling into the hotel, I was promptly greeted by a hotel associate who assisted with my luggage and directed me to the check-in desk.
Four Seasons Singapore – Entrance
Heading inside, the lobby features a grand staircase accompanied by a sculpture carved from white stone. The lobby features an ornate and classical ambiance, accentuated by floral centrepieces and wooden touches.
Four Seasons Singapore – Lobby lounge
Indeed, as the lobby still retains much of its appearance from when the Four Seasons Singapore first opened in 1994, it could be described as somewhat dated.
Tucked away to the right of the lobby, the check-in desk is situated alongside two comfortable seating areas.

The hotel associate assisted me with the check-in formalities and confirmed my stay in the Boulevard Room with twin beds, as I was travelling with a companion for this stay.
Making my way down the hallway, adorned with fresh flowers and captivating artwork, I eventually arrived at the elevator lobby and made my way up to the Boulevard Room on the 18th floor.

Four Seasons Singapore – Boulevard Room
The Boulevard Room is a step up from the base-level Deluxe Room at the hotel, offering a generous amount of space and a fresh, modern design aesthetic after the renovation.
The room features a calming colour palette of beige, grey, and ivory, complemented by marble and wooden accents. The furnishings reflect a blend of Asian and European influences, and layering can be seen throughout the space – notably, the star pattern design on the walls was inspired by the Peranakan style.

Upon entering the room, a wide foyer opens to the main area, with a dressing area to the right. To the left is a vertical hutch that plays host to the minibar area equipped with a Lavazza coffee maker.

Two comfortable twin beds are located on the right-hand wall, flanked by night tables featuring bedside controls for the lights and curtains. Additionally, a grey upholstered daybed is optimally positioned next to the large windows, complete with a side table.

Next to the beds, two comfortable armchairs and an accompanying table create a cozy nook. As our welcome amenity, the table was thoughtfully arranged with a note, two refreshing coconut drinks, and some sweets, which is always appreciated.

The elegant bathroom is adorned with marble accents and equipped with L’Occitane bath amenities, featuring a spacious dual vanity surrounded by ample counter space and a large mirror.

When it comes to views, the Boulevard Room overlooks Orchard Road, offering a pleasant mix of greenery and cityscape views.

While not the most extravagant or showy room, the Boulevard Room at Four Seasons Singapore afforded me an inviting and comfortable abode for the night.
I liked the fact that the interior was much more modern than the hotel’s public areas, and I appreciated the cultural touches in the room and the well-appointed marble bathroom.
Four Seasons Singapore – Premier Room
I also had the opportunity to tour a few other room types at the Four Seasons Singapore.
The Premier Rooms are situated on the corners of each floor and offer an extra-spacious option that’s otherwise identical to the Boulevard Room in layout.

Thanks to its corner location and higher ceilings, the Premier Room feels more open and provides a superior panoramic view of Orchard Road and the surrounding neighbourhood through its large corner windows.

Four Seasons Singapore –Executive Suite
The Executive Suite boasts a similar contemporary yet cozy style, highlighted by calming colours and cool blues.
The living area is very generously sized, featuring a sofa bed, two armchairs, a table, and a flat-screen TV. Behind the sofa, you’ll find the same Peranakan-inspired patterns on the wall.

The bedroom lies behind colonial-style doors with adjustable wooden shutters, allowing natural daylight to filter in during the day.

The ensuite bathroom features a double vanity, a walk-in shower, and a bathtub, as well as a separately enclosed private toilet and bidet.

Four Seasons Singapore – Club Suite
Guests who book a Club Suite will enjoy exclusive access to the Executive Lounge for up to two adults.
The suite boasts a separate living area and bedroom with ample space. In the living room, you’ll find a cozy sofa, two armchairs, a table, and a large flat-screen TV, all complemented by generous natural light pouring in through the large windows.

The bedroom is similarly spacious, featuring more large windows and a dedicated dressing area. From the bedroom, you can access the marble-clad ensuite bathroom, equipped with a dual vanity, bathtub, and walk-in shower.

On the whole, the guest rooms and suites at the Four Seasons Singapore are understated in design, but spacious and functional. The Deluxe Rooms and the Boulevard Rooms are fine choices for entry-level accommodations, with the latter offering a better view.
The Premier Rooms and Executive Suites are well-suited for families with small children, those travelling with a larger group, or those simply seeking a bit more breathing room during their stay.
Meanwhile, the Club Suite would benefit those who value a high level of comfort with the added exclusivity of lounge access.
Four Seasons Singapore – Executive Lounge
Singapore is among the select few Four Seasons properties around the world to offer an Executive Lounge for its guests.
The lounge is located on the hotel’s third floor, which is also the dedicated Club floor, housing the hotel’s other relaxation and wellness facilities.
Complimentary access to the lounge is available for guests who book into Club rooms. There’s a check-in desk and a small lobby, where staff will confirm access to the lounge and can assist with any queries.

The Executive Lounge is rather intimate, with limited seating comprised of a few stylish sofas and armchairs arranged at the centre of the room. The space has a pleasant ambiance, achieved through a tasteful combination of stylish grey decor and strategically placed greenery.

For breakfast, you can choose from lobster dumplings, grilled vegetables, quiche, char kway teow, and chicken congee, among others.
