Westin Singapore Review | Luxury and Wellness at The Westin Singapore

As we stepped out at the 32nd floor of Singapore‘s Asia Square Tower 2, I let the first one slip; “Wow”. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t surprised that The Westin Hotel Singapore was so stunning. But with sky high windows showcasing Marina Bay, Singapore city and bright sea blues in between, surely this was considered showing off. Our Westin Singapore review started on an impressive note and we were soon to discover, the hotel was only getting started in a successful campaign to wow us.

The Westin Singapore Review

Contents

The delighted gasps continued as we strolled around the foyer to begin our Westin Singapore review. The Westin Singapore has the highest lobby in Singapore.

Perfectly polished white floors, generously-sized plush armchairs, chaises and coffee tables in natural hues and huge, pendant lights warmed the space and prompted yet another “wow”, from me. It was tasteful and immaculate.

The hotel is Singapore’s first that’s been integrated into an office building. With its sleek, modern silhouette, Asia Tower 2 proudly sits on prime land, reclaimed just a few years ago.

The Westin is one of a number of new ultra-modern developments shooting up in the financial district, a few minutes walk from the city centre on the south coast of Singapore.

The Executive Club Level at The Westin Singapore

There are 305 rooms and suites on the property. We stayed in a corner room on the Executive Club level.

It felt like our own oasis in the heart of busy Singapore city; the king-size bed was positioned perfectly to take in the city skyline and the shocking red sunsets, with a desk sharing the view for those travelling on business.

A sitting area offered a cosy spot near the other window, overlooking the South China Sea and the perfect spot for us to do a little yoga.

In a town where space is at a premium, our room felt incredibly indulgent.

That carried over into the bathroom with a bathtub that could ease muscle aches after a long day of sightseeing (or in our case shopping) with a window seat to a million-dollar view of the dazzling city lights.

Infinity Pool and Spa at The Westin Singapore

As soon as you get settled, get in the lift and head for the infinity pool. Located on level 35 overlooking the bay, it’s where you’ll cool off, lounge in the sun and no doubt snap endless photos to brag to friends and family. We even set the alarm clock for some morning yoga and a dip and watched as the pinks, oranges and blues of the sun danced on the surface of the water. No filter is required.

Back in the comfort of the air conditioning is the hotel’s Heavenly Spa. All guests are free to use the sauna and steam whirlpool. But for those who need a little extra nurturing, the treatment menu covers all your pampering needs from a simple pedicure to packages fittingly named Hope, Dream or Wish.

You’ll be led through the quiet, white tea scented hallways to one of the spacious and stylish treatment rooms each with its own private bathroom for an undisturbed post-treatment touch-up (with their amazing, nourishing skincare products and healthy snacks provided).

The Westin Singapore Restaurants

A fresh sugar-free citrus drink at check-in was the first sign of The Westin’s commitment to guests’ wellbeing during our stay. Their efforts to create an environment that respects their guests’ health is heaven-sent for everyone from a busy CEO to families who want nourishing options for their children while wandering the world. It’s something I’ve written before a number of times. I can’t applaud them enough for the initiative.

Singapore is a foodie city. So fittingly The Westin Singapore restaurants cater for different needs and tastes with four main dining destinations.

Seasonal Tastes at The Westin Singapore

Each day we started with breakfast at Seasonal Tastes. Almost everything you could possibly want for breakfast was on offer. With flavours from the East to the West, it was a clear standout as the broadest culinary cross-section of food I’ve ever seen at a buffet (and I’ve been to a few hotel buffets). From buttery pastries baked in-house, their signature muesli, superfoods selection, gluten-free corner, colourful fresh-cut fruit and a salad bar, to cheese, cold meats, salmon and traditional Asian dishes ready for prepping in individual, interactive kitchens.

In the spirit of Singapore’s love of a long weekend lunch or brunch, they also put on a Sunday Lazy Lunch (from SGD75++ per person / $AUD72). The spread includes everything from seafood to roasted meats like mum used to make, salads and sides and a dessert buffet and French champagne to help you ease into the afternoon.

Cook & Brew, Level 33

Cook & Brew is The Westin’s gastropub-style restaurant. It’s a little more upmarket than your ordinary pub, but everything from the fit-out to the drinks menu has been crafted in the name of comfort. It has the feel of a sophisticated sports lounge. In front of the bar, leather sofas, sports memorabilia, dark wooden furniture, deep armchairs and a wide-screen television entices footy fans. So too does the list of more than 100 beers from 18 countries.

We had Friday lunch on the other side of the restaurant framed by a Marina Bay outlook. We settled in just before the lu
