Lavishly renovated in 2005, this city hotel comprises a total of 527 rooms spread over 21 floors, including 4 executive floors and a premium Club Lounge. Facilities on offer include an atrium lobby with 24-hour reception, a currency exchange facility and lift access. The hotel was designed by US architect John Portman with a contemporary design scheme accented with Asian-style touches. It has a column-free ballroom, 11 function rooms, 3 boardrooms, and a poolside function space. Business amenities available include secretarial services (surcharges apply) and high-speed cable and wireless Internet access (surcharges apply). Guests may also take advantage of the on site café, and the wide range of dining options. Room service is also available (charges apply) and there is parking provided for those arriving by car. Guests now enter the dramatic atrium of the hotel through a single doorway. The reception area has been strikingly enhanced with the use of black marble flooring and rich ebony fretwork grilles - reminiscent of delicate Chinese screens and birdcage.

The hotel is situated along Marina Bay, with panoramic views of Singapore Harbour. It is adjacent to Marina Square Shopping Mall, one of Singapore's most well known shopping and entertainment complexes, and is also 5 minutes' walk from Suntec City, which houses one of Asia Pacific's largest convention centres.
