Fodor's Expert Review InterContinental Singapore

With its gorgeous Peranakan-style furnishings, silk wall coverings, elegant chandeliers, and rooms styled after 1920s heritage shophouses, this pet-friendly Bugis Junction hotel is luxuriously local. Unlike most other five-star hotels, it's situated outside of the Central Business District and Orchard Road shopping belt, but it's in one of the city's most culturally rich neighborhoods, which is a delight to explore. Sign up for the hotel's free two-hour Guide Heritage Trail tour for an introduction to the area.
