The National Museum of Singapore is a great place to learn about Singapore's history. It is the oldest museum in Singapore but all the galleries have a unique modern flare, which I loved.

I highly recommend their current exhibition Singapura: 700 Years. It commemorates Singapore's 50 years of independence and is the perfect way to learn how Singapore grew from a small village to the financial capital that it is now.

Holiday Inn Singapore Orchard City Centre by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, very friendly and helpful staff, great customer service and convenient location. Very close to shopping centres, I will definitely stay here again. "

The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

10/10 Excellent

"Very posh, 100 yr old English hotel from colonial times. Beautiful grand staircases and marble. Lobby and rooms felt like Great Gatsby era. We had the balcony room on the 6th fl with a view of Marina Bay Sands. Breakfast was unbelievable! Everything you could possibly image from western, Asian and Indian cuisines. The room was pretty small but had everything that we needed. Beautiful polished wood furniture. Great firm mattress and my favorable Toto toilet with wash and dry modules!"
