Singapore’s luxury hotel scene has added another feather to its cap. Three properties—Raffles Hotel Singapore, The St. Regis Singapore, and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore—have been named Condé Nast Traveller Triple Crown awardees, placing them among an elite group of accommodations recognized as the world’s finest.
The Triple Crown distinction goes only to hotels that have appeared on all three of the publication’s prestigious lists: the Hot List (best new hotels), the Gold List (editor favorites), and the Readers’ Choice Awards (voted by travelers). This trifecta is rare; just a handful of hotels worldwide have achieved it.
Raffles Hotel Singapore: Old-World Grandeur Endures
Perhaps Singapore’s most iconic property, Raffles Hotel has spent more than a century perfecting the art of classic luxury. Its butler service remains legendary, while the Long Bar—birthplace of the Singapore Sling—continues to draw crowds. The hotel recently added another draw: 1887 by André, a new restaurant from Michelin-starred chef André Chiang. These touches explain why the colonial-era grande dame keeps earning top honors.
St. Regis Singapore: Art and Ambiance
Tucked between Orchard Road and the Singapore Botanic Gardens, the St. Regis offers a different flavor of luxury. Its museum-worthy art collection and residential-style vibe set it apart. The hotel recently underwent a refresh with interiors inspired by the neighboring Botanic Gardens. Foodies will appreciate its two standout dining destinations: Sophia, an intimate Italian spot, and Yan Ting, a Cantonese fine-dining favorite.
The Fullerton Bay Hotel: Location, Location, Location
If views matter most, The Fullerton Bay Hotel delivers. Overlooking Marina Bay, the waterfront property commands some of Singapore’s best skyline vistas. Spacious rooms and the ever-popular Lantern rooftop bar give guests front-row seats to the postcard-perfect scenery. It’s a prime choice for travelers who want to be at the heart of the action.
Global Recognition, Local Pride
Singapore isn’t alone in the Triple Crown winner’s circle. Other properties include House Amankora in Bhutan, Song Saa Private Island in Cambodia, Regent Beijing, W Hong Kong, and Hyatt Regency Kyoto. But for a city-state that consistently punches above its weight in hospitality, this triple win reinforces its reputation as a global luxury travel destination.
For travelers planning a visit, these three hotels offer distinct experiences: old-world charm, residential elegance, or waterfront glamour. Each delivers the kind of stay that earns top marks from both editors and the traveling public alike.
