"Though celebrating its 125th birthday in 2012, the hotel is still a magnet for A-listers (Elizabeth Taylor, Diane von Furstenberg, and Barry Diller have all stayed here)."

"The modern extension is a mixed bag, but the Raffles remains refreshingly low-rise and still has colonial-era charm in spades."

"Amara, located in the Shenton Way financial district, attracts primarily business travelers, so if your vacation includes a little business, too, this hotel puts you closer to the action."

Lonely Planet
"This classy business hotel is a little too far south to have much appeal to anyone except corporate travellers and those who want to devote themselves to the district of Chinatown."
Star Service
"Sandwiched between residential and commercial buildings, this modest midrange hotel is just a three-minute walk from Tangjong Pagar MRT station."
