Luxury Travel by thirdpassport

Andaz Singapore, a Hyatt category-6 property, stands out as one of Singapore’s most sought-after luxury hotels for discerning travellers. Its prestigious location and exclusive offerings make it a preferred choice for clients of Luxury Travels by thirdpassport.

Singapore is easy to explore, thanks to its advanced, clean, and affordable public transport. Choosing a strategic base, like Andaz Singapore, lets you maximise your time discovering the city’s exciting neighbourhoods.

One of the most popular hotels I book for my clients who visit Singapore is Andaz Singapore, a Hyatt category-6 property. Its design, amenities, and location often exceed expectations.

May 2025 Update: I stayed at Andaz Singapore a year ago. On my recent trip to Southeast Asia this April and May, I returned. Every client I’ve booked here has enjoyed the experience. Returning to a hotel can be a risk, but my second stay was just as memorable.

Hyatt Privé perks apply even for a one-night stay. This makes the hotel a great value. The staff excels in delivering personalised service, which enhances the entire experience.

The Concept

“Andaz Singapore aims to spark a sense of discovery of the rich culture and heritage of the city and inspire you to experience it with a fresh perspective. Situated at the crossroads of the Kampong Glam, Little India and Bras Basah Bugis districts, our luxury hotel captures the essence of a traditional shophouse-filled alleyway, recreating the spirit of the surrounding neighbourhoods.“

Situated from Levels 26 to 37, Andaz Singapore offers a sanctuary in the sky. The guest rooms provide a sense of place with panoramic views of the city and Marina Bay. Each room is thoughtfully designed to offer comfort and style, ensuring a memorable stay at this renowned hotel.

Why Book via Hyatt Privé

As a travel advisor affiliated with both Hyatt Privé and Virtuoso, I’ve consolidated all perk details into the dedicated section below. This helps eliminate any repetitive mention of perks and makes the information easier to find:

Location & Arrival

Located in the lively Kampong Glam area, Andaz Singapore offers direct access to the Bugis MRT station [Source]. You’ll find a rich blend of cultural offerings, boutique shops, and trendy cafés just steps away.

I like to walk and during my stay here I visited Little India, Suntec City, and as far as the Marina Bay Sands mall area on foot without any problems (other than the humidity!).

The Room

The rooms at Andaz Singapore are a blend of modern luxury and local charm. Each room is equipped with top-notch amenities, including a Nespresso machine, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a plush king-sized bed. The decor features warm, earthy tones with bespoke furnishings, creating a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide stunning views of the cityscape, making your stay an unforgettable experience.

One of the things that I pay attention to and like when staying in a hotel, is the ‘sense of place’ and how it blends in with the local area. There are subtle decorative touches throughout the hotel that reflect local architecture, design, and culture. For example, the yellow panel doors between the bedroom and the bathroom are a nod to the shophouses of Singapore. On level 25 the food & beverage venues are arranged in a way reminiscent of the alleys of the alleys of Singapore too.

In general the room was very comfortable. I like that there is a separate dressing area so that the luggage is out of the way. The bathroom was clean and comfortable and the loo was in a room of its own.

Two features that I really liked were:

• Water tap in the bathroom for filling water bottles (2 plastic reusable ones are provided in room to take away)
• Complimentary flip-flops / thongs / jandals for using by the pool. Branded “Stolen from Andaz Singapore” it would be almost rude not to!

This being an Andaz hotel the mini bar contents are complimentary and replenished daily. So whether you fancied a snack or drink it’s there for guests to enjoy.

Food & Beverage

Andaz Singapore offers a variety of dining venues, each promising a unique culinary experience. Indulge in the following options:

• Alley on 25: Experience the vibrant street food culture of Singapore from the sky. This multi-cuisine dining area recreates the lively and spontaneous feel of local street dining. In the morning Alley on 25 is used for breakfast, with each of the distinct areas offering a different cuisine served buffet style. Obviously, guests can visit any of them and mix & match from the options available.
• 665°F: A modern steakhouse specializing in premium meats and sustainable seafood, prepared in a Pira Oven, ensuring flavours are sealed to perfection.
• 5 ON 25: Savour refined Cantonese cuisine in a sophisticated setting, perfect for intimate dinners and special occasions.
• Bar Square: The hotel’s communal bar offers a relaxed atmosphere for socialising while enjoying cocktails handcrafted by skilled mixologists.
• Mr. Stork: Located on the rooftop, this bar provides 360-degree views of the city and unique teepee-hut seating, perfect for a memorable evening under the stars.

Facilities

Andaz Singapore offers more than luxury rooms and dining. The hotel has a state-of-the-art gym. Enjoy a stunning infinity pool with city views. Versatile event spaces are perfect for business meetings, weddings, and social events.

The pool is glorious. Living in London, I appreciated escaping the cold for a swim. I also enjoyed a 4pm checkout as part of the Hyatt Privé perks.

Pros/Cons of the Property

Pros

• Location location location – Really convenient for getting from/to Changi airport and getting around Singapore
• A variety of food & beverage venues
• Different views (e.g. Sea, Heritage, City) allowing visitors the appreciate the size and geography of Singapore
• Outdoor infinity pool
• Andaz Singapore has implemented several sustainability initiatives, including energy efficiency and waste reduction programs [Source].

Cons

I struggled to come up with anything but there are a couple of small things

• When you walk into the room the blinds and curtains close, which doesn’t make much sense to me. I would rather they were closed when I am out of the room, so that it remains cool, and then have them open when guests walk in so that they can enjoy the views – On my second stay this was not a problem, as the blinds did not close automatically.
• When you have a south-facing room, there are small dots on the windows to help keep the building & room cool. They can be a be distracting or difficult to take photos but they’re there for environmental reasons.

Verdict

Andaz Singapore is more than just a place to stay; it’s an experience. With its strategic location, luxurious rooms, diverse dining options, and exceptional facilities, it stands out as a premier choice for luxury travellers.
