Hilton Singapore hotel versus Conrad Centennial Singapore
I will go to Singapore in August for business.
Being Diamond member, Please anyone may advise me about hotel to choose, the Hilton or Conrad. I watched the web site, rates are pretty much the same.
Thanks
Damien

I still haven't changed my vote for the Conrad, although the Hilton is more centrally located. The Conrad has a much better lounge, with nice views. The food at the Hilton is not as good as the Conrad, and the layout feels cramped with barely a view. Modern, minimalist decor at the Conrad. I liked it, but others might find it sterile. Better uniforms at the Conrad, and of course, the rubber duck.
The Hilton could also use some chairs in the lobby. I suggested this to a few of the employees in the lobby and they looked at me as if they were impotent.

Welcome to FT, Damien!
I agree with Kevino. I have been known to break a 3 day stay, and spend the first night at the Hilton and the next two at the Conrad in other to get two stay credits - but as a Diamond, I vastly prefer the comfort and treatment I receive from the Conrad.

No doubt about it ----- CONRAD
having stayed at both; the CONRAD is one of the classiest hotels in the Hilton system and my personal choice when in Singapore. Do some search on it and you will find lots of positive comments on this site........

I thoroughly enjoyed the Hilton rooftop pool and prefer it over the Conrad pool. If you want a prostitute they stroll the sidewalk right outside the Hilton. If you don't want prostitutes, then the Hilton location can be a nuisance to walk around at night.
My preference is to stay at the Conrad.

I you are there for a few days then definitely the Conrad. especially as Diamond and being able to have lounge access.
The Hilton is great if you are there for one day and want to shop all day as you can keep bringing things back to the room but then again its only $5 cab fare from the Conrad to Scotts rd.
When the rates are the same Conrad./
If there is a convention and the rates are a lot higher I use my Hilton Diamond Club coupon and stay for $US85 at the Hilton but usually
I aways stay at the Conrad now.

Unless you go looking for them, it didn't seem that noticeable (note that I wasn't looking, but did notice!). They are mainly in the clubs inside the mall. Otherwise, the Hilton is at a great location for shopping and food. Singapore is not that big - I reccomend the Conrad hands down as well. That's where I'll be staying this month!
