If you ask people in Singapore to mention a great luxury hotel, the name Ritz Carlton is mentioned many times.
A nice quote was this one: “Ritz Carlton is the only Hotel here – maybe apart from W in Sentosa – where warm hospitality is felt amongst at least 85% of their staff”.
So I wanted to find out for myself and went for the Ritz Carlton Millennia Hotel.
We booked a Club Room with the great Club Benefits offered with this type of room.
We arrived at Changi Airport at about 14.30 in the afternoon.
Lucky we had a good night sleep during our flight, so we got our limo service to the Hotel, which is located in the CDB area, next to the Marina Bay.
The hotel is designed by Pritzker prize-winning architect Kevin Roche and opened in 1996.
The hotel has unobstructed views of the Singapore skyline or Marina Bay and offers one of the largest guest rooms and accommodations of any hotel in Singapore, averaging 550 to 650 square feet.
People like Taylor Swift and Lady Gaga stayed at this great hotel to be tampered and speaking with happiness about this hotel.
As soon as we arrived, I was amazed about the enthusiasm from the staff members.
We where welcomed by a special staff member with the words, Hello Mr and Mrs Smulders, Welcome to the Ritz Carlton.
How did she know our names, as I have not told anybody our names ?
Maybe they have a look at Facebook or so to remember faces, anyway it was a great surprise and directly showed the warm hospitality as mentioned before.
As we had booked a Club room the staff member took us directly to our room, room 2407 a room with a city view and a view on the F1 paddock.
Room 2407 is a very spacious room with lots of storage space, one of the largest rooms (585 square feet) I have ever stayed in at a luxury 5 star hotel.
We inspected the room and it was as we expected.
Great that all the administration work was done inside the hotel room.
They copied our passports and creditcard details on the spot to make sure that we could start enjoy our stay right away.
The room was renovated about 2 years ago and looked great.
Lots of gold around you and marmer in the bathroom.
All the things you need and would expect in a luxury 5 star Hotel were available.
For me the most import thing is the quality of the bed and as you can see, It looks great but I was sleeping even better.
It was time to get to the Ritz Carlton Club Lounge at level 32.
The card is active only for Club Room Members to go with the elevator to level 32.
You will get welcomed by another friendly staff member, who explains what you can expect from the Club Lounge.
The newly-renovated Ritz-Carlton Club Lounge is an exclusive space with spectacular views from the highest level of the hotel.
Club guests are invited to enjoy daily culinary presentations, unique experiential events and state-of-the art meeting facilities.
The Ritz-Carlton Club Experience commences from arrival and offers guests impeccable service and sophistication.

The Lounge Staff from the Club Lounge makes you feel very welcome.
They will serve you at the table and if the glass is only half full, they will refill your drinks.
The serve the best wines, from France and Australia and of course the Moet Chandon Champagne.
But also for some great coffee or cappuccino they will serve it for you in a few minutes.
Don’t forget to order a Singapore Sling Cocktail between 17.00 and 23.00, a signature drink for Singapore.
It was time to head for the Singapore Flyer, located not far from the hotel.
But for Club Guests, The Ritz Carlton offers complimentary limo service within the CBD area.
A line of Mercedes Limo Cars will be waiting for you on a first come first service bases.
But there are enough cars available, so we did not have to wait for more than one minute to head for the Singapore Flyer.
The friendly driver drove us to the Singapore Flyer and asked if we wanted to be picked up again.
But we told him, don’t worry we will walk back.
We needed some movement after the long flight from Dubai to Singapore.
We got back late in the evening, because the Marina Bay Sands shopping mall is just a few minutes walk from the hotel and Singapore is a shopping Walhalla ( especially for my wife )
It was time to get a good night sleep and get ready for the next day in Singapore.
It was time to start the day with a great breakfast at the Club.
You can have your breakfast also in the restaurant at the ground level, but the club breakfast was fine for us as it is not too busy.
We ordered some omelet and eggs and the chef prepared it very well.
Exactly how the omelet should be.
As you can see, options enough to start your day.
And the food was excellent
We where ready for our new day in Singapore.
We also inspected the swimming pool with the amazing architecture surrounding the pool.
A great place to unwind.
The photo’s will say it all for you.
If you are looking for a Great True 5 star Hotel in the CDB area from Singapore, don’t look any further.
The Ritz Carlton is the hotel you will be looking for.
During the F1 Grand prix in Singapore it will be hard to drive to the hotel as it will be surrounded by the race track, but you will be able to see the full circuit from the Club Lounge.
