Stayed there already six times during this year. Always was well recognized as an Ambassador and can't wait to get there again in summer being now a RA.

But from the beginning:
Arrived in a taxi from Changi airport and got well received by the front desk.
After they found out I had a room at Club level, they immediately took me upstairs to the Club for check-in.
Check-in is taking very seriously and a staff member will sit down with you seperate to discuss your rooms, your needs and will do all the paperwork for you, while you only have to sign the documents at the end.
In the meantime they serve you some drinks and hand over the Ambassador present.
After that one of the staff members will guide you to your room and explain all features of it. In more than 50% of the cases my luggage had already arrived in the room before I got there.

The rooms are a mixture of old colonial style and modern equipment (flat screen tv, Bose sound system, etc.).

The Spa and Fitness area is very nice and the small pool has a nice area to relax. However, due to the Singapore climate one will not lie to long there.
The Gym okay, but the machines could be more modern.

The massage service is excellent and all of the staff have nice skills.

But the best is the club lounge, which has an excellent service. All the staff is extremely friendly and will most of the times recognize you and greet you by name. They will also try to remember your preferred drinks and food.
Breakfast is very good and the fresh juices are a must.
Throughout the day little snacks are offered with warm and cold (soft) drinks.
During Happy Hour a nice selection of warm and cold (finger) food is offered together with alcoholic beverages. Wines, Beers and also the Singapore Sling is available.

The IC Singapore is a very nice facility and has a very friendly and efficient atmosphere. Definitely a recommendation...

I had a stay there back in Feb. Booked cheapest room and initially got upgraded to a club floor room with club access, but I told the front desk staff I didn't need club access but needed a bigger room, so she tried to get me the L-shape premier room, but then I told her I stayed quite a lot in those L-shape room in the past and didn't want it again. She looked for a while and got me a shophouse suite, then I told her I didn't want it neither since I couldn't bare the noise outside the shopping mall. Finally she got me an excutive suite (the 2nd largest room in the hotel), but she kept reminding me that next time I had to book at least a Premier room in order to get upgraded to Executive Suite:D.

How many Executive Suites do they have? I was told by email, they have only 2 and these are taken for these days I was asking for upgrade.

I also heard there are only 2 ESs and they are very popular to be booked/taken by the local couples who hold their wedding banquet in the hotel during weekend. The front desk staff also told me these ESs are often reserved by the experienced RA who books premier rooms. The 2 ESs are located on the top floor.

When they gave me a comp upgrade to the ES, they kept reminding me that I most likely had to move during weekend for the wedding people but fortunately they didn't move me.

It's definitely only the two ES. Stayed in one the one time, but never made it again up there.
But the other rooms are great too. I like especially the bathroom with that nice shower...

I will be ther in July for 3 nights ( Plat Amb)...

Booked the 1st night as the free night ( cheapest room of course)...

The next 2 nights using an Ambassador BOGO for a 52 sq mtr room at $200 with breakfast ( luxury weekends)... Wonder what's the next upgrade from the 52 sqm room which is just a KING PREMIER ( just SGD$24 more from the cheapest)...

So I expect an Executive Suite upgrade ;)

Might even be staying at the ES for 3 nights for just $200!

I expect Ic Singapore to be a very nice hotel/staff...

Will be sight seeing with the wifey...

Stayed here this past week for 4 nights...was a very good stay. Was moved to exec floor (11th) at checkin and was a large corner room. Service was great and staff very accomodating. I really like this hotel as I usually stay at the Hilton and the mall is excellent. A great Cold Storage supermarket where you can buy nice wines for way cheaper than theh SGD65 house wine they give you (yea but I ordered it at 4am) and good shopping and movies. A short walk from Raffles Hotel and Purvis St where I visited my favourite chicken rice resto Yet Con...

Pool small and overcrowded on weekend but still I loved the stay. Throughly recommend this hotel to anyone.

Also, Bugis MRT goes right there...
