Embark on a unique and luxurious journey at Fairmont Singapore, located in the heart of the lion city. Ideally situated at the crossroads of Singapore's central business districts, world-class shopping and entertainment, this award-winning hotel is conveniently located near Marina Bay, Suntec City; and two Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train stations with Singapore Changi Airport a short 20-minute drive away. Featuring lavish guestrooms, an extensive choice of distinctive restaurants and bars and the indulgent Willow Stream Spa, Fairmont Singapore caters to the most astute traveler and offers the highest degree of pampering.

Or step into a world of modern comfort at Swissôtel The Stamford, one of the tallest hotels in Southeast Asia. Experience sincere and smart hospitality through innovative and technology-enhanced fixtures and fittings; intuitive design that serves to make a difference to your happiness and well-being; and a passionate and caring team that takes care of you from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave. Located in the heart of Singapore with the City Hall Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train station and other major transportation at your doorstep, enjoy the convenience of this upscale hotel amidst world-class shopping, dining and entertainment that is also just minutes away from the Central Business District.

Get ready for a journey into the world of nocturnal animals, including lions, tigers and leopards in specially designed habitats on a Night Safari! Start your four-hour night time safari at the world's first night zoo with hotel pickup, then board the tram to explore 98 acres (40 hectares) of rainforest habitat located next to the Singapore Zoo. Travel from the Himalayan foothills to the Southeast Asian rainforest, each carefully designed to replicate natural habitats and subtly lit to mimic the moonlight. Search for feline hunters, including Malayan tigers, a Gir lion and a pair of Sri Lankan leopards, as well as other nocturnal creatures such as spotted hyenas, red river hogs and Australian wallabies.

Food in Singapore is taken very seriously. Immerse yourself in Singapore's delicious street food on the Singapore Hawker Center Food Tour and Neighborhood Walk, a tasting tour led by a guide who shares in-depth local knowledge. Hawker centers are the epitome of Singapore's melting-pot culture, offering dishes from the island's main ethnic groups - Chinese, Malay, Indian and Indonesian, plus some Western, Japanese and Korean dishes too. Soak in the atmosphere of everyday life on a walk around vibrant neighborhoods as you're introduced to a range of tantalizing dishes and drinks that at one point in time were sold in push carts along the streets, all while you learn about Singapore's rich culinary history on this personalized tour.

With beautiful waterfront scenery, pretty gardens, and cutting-edge galleries, Singapore ranks among Asia's must-see cities?but beating the crowds and exploring independently by public transport can be challenging. On the city tour, spin through Singapore on an air-conditioned vehicle and explore in comfort. Including hotel pick-up and drop-off, your guided tour will take you around the Civic District, where you'll find the historic Parliament House, the National Gallery and the Old Supreme Court and City Hall buildings. Stop at Merlion Park for impressive views of the marina, as well as Thian Hock Keng Temple, one of Singapore's oldest Buddhist-Taoist temples, before driving past Chinatown. Proceed to Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanic Gardens, and walk through the National Orchid Garden which boasts a sprawling display of 60,000 plants.
