Difficult choice of hotels!
Loyalty programs aside, I'm faced with a choice of the following properties, all have roughly the same rate:
Intercontinental
Westin
Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay
Holiday Inn (Atrium, Orchard road, etc.)
I left out the Sheraton....I stayed there last time. It's pleasant, but not very central without a subway ride or long walk.
I'll be there basically 3 full days. Location is a bit more important than the hotel itself (which is why the HIE is on this list, although I fully know that IHG properties in Asia are pretty amazing overall).
I was in town two years ago for about 4 days. Did the Orchid garden, some shopping, etc. I like the shopping malls, Chinatown, cheap eats, Clarke Quay, etc. Marina Sands was awesome, but not necessary on this trip.
Any recommends? Thanks.

Second choice of IC. It is right at Bugis so you get shopping from malls, food courts, department stores to local arcades and hawker centres. It is also indoor walk to MRT Bugis station.
