Was back in singapore in January at end of trip and reconfirmed I still like the RC. I always get a high floor premier facing the harbor on the right corner as you are facing the harbor. It is like a jr suite and I love being on that corner. I also do the club here as it is one of the better I have experienced. The pool is great and the only thing is I wish they had better restaurants, but Singapore is full of good restaurants so we went out to lunch and dinner as always.
I also used to really like the valley wing at the shangri-la, but have not stayed there in several years. It used to have better service than the ritz, but I miss the harbor views and on this trip we had very good service at the RC. In fact seems to have improved!

This is my favorite hotel in Singapore. The rooms ( esp premier suite and up ) post renovation are very nice, it's in an excellent location ( unless you need to be near Orchard Road ) and the morning breakfast and buffet lunch/ brunch / dinner spread are widely considered the best in the city. They also have a club lounge that serve free flow champagne.
Ritz Still my favorite hotel in Singapore - premier suite, high floor (preferably club level), Marina view. I used to also like the Shangrila Valley Wing but it's been ages since I've stayed there and no view. Tried the Fullerton Bay - amazing views but felt staying in a fishbowl. I prefer the Ritz even though much larger and sometimes service suffers unless on club level. Pool at Ritz great for lap swimmers and sunbathers although I'm not in the latter category in Singapore - too hot for me other than laps!
