Renovated in 2006, the hotel consists of 2 towers, the Peninsula Tower and Excelsior Tower, with most of the 577 rooms overlooking either the harbour, the Singapore River, Clarke Quay and/or the Fort Canning Hill. The Lobby Lounge, which connects the two towers, sits adjacent to one of the outdoor pools - with only a glass wall separating the swimmers from those enjoying a drink in the lounge. Further facilities include a 24-hour reception with a safe, a currency exchange and a lift. In addition, guests are provided with a café, a business centre with a private meeting room, function rooms, a restaurant, laundry and dry cleaning, as well as baby-sitting. Parking is also available for those arriving by car. The lobby is very spacious, there is a row of sofas in wavy arrangement. Guests could have a good view of the swimming pool from the sofa.

Located in the middle of Singapore's bustling Civic District, the hotel is just a stone's throw away from the historical Singapore River, where the island's early immigrants first set foot. Within 5-10 minutes, guests will find Fort Canning Park, Merlion Park, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, Sir Stamford Raffles Landmark (1819), the National Museum of Singapore, Drama Centre, Esplanade Theatre on the Bay, Chinatown and Clarke Quay. Shopping is also on the hotel's doorstep with the Excelsior Shopping Centre, Peninsula Plaza, Peninsula Shopping Centre, High Street Centre, Funan Centre and Raffles City. The nearest public transport is the City Hall MRT station which is across the street from the hotel, and it takes just 5 minutes to Orchard Road, Bugis Village and Shenton Way.

The Coleman's serves both local and international cuisine.
