I have what seems like unlimited IHG points (IHG platinum) and unlimited Hilton points (Hilton gold), and am SPG gold and Hyatt platinum.
Thanks!
Hi agp423,
I have stayed in a few Singapore hotels myself and would like to offer you some of my thoughts.
InterContinental Singapore -

The InterContinental Singapore is colonial-style and slightly dated but that being said, the service level is great and is located around Bugis (which isn't necessarily the first place to be in Singapore for most travellers).
Hilton Singapore -

The Hilton Singapore is dated as well but I really like the location of it. It's tucked away in a quieter area of Orchard Road and is really convenient if you want to hit the popular spots in Singapore. I have always gotten an upgrade to an Exec floor here as a Gold.
Conrad Centennial Singapore -

Great spacious rooms and book a Business Room to enjoy an Executive room that offers complimentary cocktails and drinks in the evening - alcohol is expensive in Singapore so this is something you should take into consideration especially if you enjoy a drink or two.
Pan Pacific Singapore -

My personal favourite. Great rooms and amazing club access. If you are here and you want a luxury getaway, the Pan Pacific Singapore is amazing.
