Nearest mrt station will be Esplanade and City Hall MRT Staton.
If you carry luggage then taxi will be your best option as taxi in Sg is not that expensive.

From the airport, City Hall is more convenient (one fewer transfer).
[MENTION=8598]jsloan[/MENTION] said it best MRT is the way to go. It basically drops you off 500ft from the hotel lobby (albeit 3 stories underground)
It is super simple to use the MRT. I took my wife for a week, we used the MRT and busses extensively and she spent $18 for an entire week of MRT/Bus usage, including trip to/from the airport.
I do the extra xfer and go to esplanade station, but in reality it doesn't matter, it is extremely easy to get around Singapore.
