Guest sentiment
A 1,252-room, I.M. Pei-designed tower above City Hall MRT -- the world's tallest hotel when it opened in 1986 -- with a Level 65 Lounge overlooking Marina Bay.
Last updated August 8, 2026
Swissotel The Stamford is a 1,252-room, I.M. Pei-designed tower rising 226 metres above City Hall MRT station within the Raffles City complex -- the tallest hotel in the world when it opened in 1986. Guests consistently praise the prime, transit-connected location, spacious Swiss Marina Bay View rooms with skyline views, and a strong breakfast spread at Clove and the Asian Market Cafe, alongside the Level 65 Lounge's 360-degree views over Marina Bay. The lounge no longer serves food during evening drinks (a pre-pandemic perk that hasn't returned) and vegetarian options there are limited, but repeat guests consistently call the hotel strong value for its location and facilities.
