It's a horrible location.
It's next to that ridiculous Lion-Mermaid that is an artificially concocted marketing symbol masquerading as a national emblem. I always think of Le Meridien as Starwood's classiest brand, but this is the most kitsch location imaginable.
(And it's not even the first Lion-Mermaid statue in Singapore. They are relying upon people being too young to know that the original one is currently next to the Fullerton Hotel.)
So it's like building a house that is white in Orlando and claiming that it is the White House.

Given the island location, it is unlikely going to be decent. So far, the most "decent" priced SPG property in Singapore is usually Sheraton Towers but not always. I think the Four Points might be competitively priced but I also think the rooms will be small.

I agree. I doubt it will be anything below 300SGD on average, given that the W at it's lowest is about 360SGD

Latest Update: Le Meridien Singapore, Sentosa is not searchable on spg.com, the hotel website on starwoodhotels.com has also been taken down, the last cached copy by google was on 1 May. No sign of the hotel on the global Le Meridien list as well.
