Hotel Review: Conrad Centennial Singapore
This review is part of the Travel Report (Anniversary in Japan) and contains both airlines, hotels and lounge reviews during our visit to Japan and Singapore. Please enjoy!
Introduction | Conrad Centennial Singapore
Having landed at Singapore incredibly early, we took our sweet time to the hotel. Traffic was super light and we were greeted with a beautiful view of Singapore during sunrise. Checking in was a breeze, and the front desk was able to move us to the highest floor. The views didn’t disappoint either.
I had read that the hotel had undergone major renovation, and the results definitely are an A+. It underwent renovations in 2018 that upgraded the guest rooms, the lounge and an addition of facilities into the mix. I absolutely love the room design and the layout here - minimal and modern. Again, the Conrad Management Team greeted us with some surprises and delectables, which was a great gesture.
We were also gifted a special edition Conrad Singapore Teddy Bear and the duck, which made our total collection of Conrad Bears to ten! These stuffed animals are truly a gift and a memory that people won’t forget.
As a Hilton Honors Diamond member, my wife and I received complimentary Executive Lounge access which meant that I was able to enjoy the following:
Access to the Executive Lounge from 6:30AM to 11:00PM (this is the best)
Personalized check-in and check-out at the Lounge
Complimentary light-pressing for a maximum of 3 items on the day of arrival (used it)
Complimentary local calls and standard WiFi access (Hilton Honors Diamond members get premium internet access) - kinda useless…
Complimentary 2 hour usage of meeting room daily (expect on weekends)
20% discount on a la carte treatment at the Conrad Spa and Fitness Club
The Room | Conrad Centennial Singapore
Guests who are staying here at the Conrad Centennial Singapore will be able to select from an extensive pillow menu where they get to choose from 15 types of pillows. So if you’re traveling, get those pillows! Use the app and get yourself rested.
Besides the usual automated controls near the bed, you will also find an automated sheer and drape control that will open and close the day blinds and night curtains respectively. In fact, if you tug at the curtain, it will also trigger the automated motor. There are plenty of power outlets and USB charging points for us tech geeks. Mini bar area contained the usual coffee and tea, with a Nespresso Machine for a nice espresso in the morning, although if you have the lounge, why bother?
Bathroom was also generous in size and amenities. Dual sinks and a plethora of marble makes for a luxurious shower and private time. The Conrad Concierge Team can also provide you with almost anything you need for your daily make-up/clean-up day routine. The sheer number of mirrors in the bathroom was also quite surprising. There’s one on the bathroom door, the customary mirror by the sink plus mirrors across 2 sides by the tub, which actually makes the bathroom visibly bigger.
Toiletries during our stay was from Shanghai Tang and had a great scent to them all.
Turndown service here was amazing. The bed always made, slippers carefully placed on the side of the bed on the floor and more importantly, everything that needed to be replaced has been replaced - coffee pods, tea bags, bath amenities and bottled water just to name a few.
Executive Lounge | Conrad Centennial Singapore
We were able to enjoy complimentary buffet breakfast, afternoon tea as well as evening cocktails at the Executive Lounge on the 31st floor. Either we were super fortunate or just damm lucky, but we found ourselves at the best seats at the lounge each day…maybe people are too busy working or drinking some place more fancy.
Evening cocktails and refreshments are served from 5:30PM to 8:00PM daily and you will be able to enjoy a selection of red, white and sparkling wines, alongside selected spirits and beers. Non-alcoholic drinks are available from the time the lounge opens until 10:00PM daily.
The Executive Lounge on the 31st Floor gives you access to:
Personalized check-in and check-out services at the Club
Complimentary local calls and premium Wi-fi access
Complimentary usage for 2 hours of the meeting room on the 5th floor
20% ala carte treatments at Conrad Spa

Conclusion | Conrad Centennial Singapore
We ended our trip in Singapore with a bang, and the Conrad Singapore helped capture all the crazy moments we had over there. With the new renovation completed, this hotel has become a fantastic property, not only in value with Hilton points, but for those travel with families and or couples.
Plenty of space, comfortable amenities, fantastic lounge service and a great view makes for a great case for anyone traveling to Singapore. It’s a great hotel to redeem Hilton Honors points at, even during peak season. The overall location and renovation makes this a superb choice for those looking to visit Singapore.
