The Swissotel the Stamford is very centrally located with the City Hall MRT Station at the door step.

The Raffles City Shopping Mall is just downstairs too.

You could have a great view of the city.
Ask for the sea view or the esplanade view if you stay high enough.

Else head to Equinox ($20 cover charge) for a drink and enjoy the breathtaking view.

Thanks to Dave & Wendy for allowing me to take a pic of their room. The view from their room at Level 39 was excellent. I had a great time chatting with them.
