There seem to be about a million hotels in Singapore. That is leading to me having a hard time choosing.

I stayed at the Parkroyal on Pickering last year for several days. It was fine but not really worth the amount of money I paid.

I like the Chinatown/Clarke Quay/Marina Bay part of town. FWIW I am Hyatt and IHG plat (thanks to Chase). I was looking hard at the new HIX Clarke Quay until I read a review of it over in the IHG forum.

I don't want to go too much over US$200 per night. The Peninsula Excelsior pops up a lot at reasonable rates on the big booking sites. I also like the look of the new-ish Carlton City Hotel which also appears to be available for under $200. And the AMOY by Far Eastern Hospotality looks fascinating as it is only 36 rooms and incorporates an old temple and museum but it comes in around $250.

Thoughts?
