Review: St. Regis Singapore | Prince of Travel

On a recent trip to Singapore, I stayed at the St. Regis Singapore on Orchard Road, a vibrant hub near the heart of the city.

This property happens to be the first St. Regis hotel to debut in South East Asia, and opened its doors back in 2008.

From the outset, the hotel appeared to be a somewhat older property; however, having had many great stays with the St. Regis brand in the past, I was looking forward to checking out the Singapore location nonetheless.

St. Regis Singapore – Booking

Singapore is one of the more expensive destinations in South East Asia. It’s not uncommon to find higher-end properties here come at a pretty hefty price.

The St. Regis Singapore is no exception, with cash rates ranging from S$750–910 ($770–930 CAD) during peak periods and S$400–600 ($410–615 CAD) during off-peak times.

Whenever cash prices skew high, it’s always wise to consider redeeming Marriott Bonvoy points instead, which is what I wound up doing this time around. A night at this property during my visit went for 47,000 Marriott Bonvoy points, which was great value compared to the cash rates of upwards of S$600 ($615 CAD).

When compared to our valuation of Bonvoy points at 0.8 cents per point (CAD), this redemption worked out favourably at around 1.3 cents per point (CAD). I was pleased with the overall value proposition, which allowed me to put the money saved towards other expenses from my trip.

Keep in mind that the St. Regis Singapore participates in Marriott STARS, a preferred partner program. 

By booking through STARS, you’ll pay the same as the best publicly available refundable rate, but you’ll have a number of extra included perks, such as free breakfast for two, a $100 (USD) property credit, priority for room upgrades, and more.
