In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
Rooms start at about 42 sq m, which runs larger than the average 5-star room in Singapore. The palette is green-and-white, deliberately tied to the hotel's planted theme, with greenery and green walls following you down the corridors. Rates open around $240 a night — genuinely reachable for a 5-star on this stretch of Marina Bay.
Food and amenities
The thing that sets this place apart is the Sky Gardens — planted green space stacked across different floors all the way up the building. The upper-level infinity pool looks straight out at Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay, and more than a few reviewers say it's a comparable view to MBS for well under half the price. On the ground there's Lime Restaurant and the Daydream Spa if you want to slow down between sights.
Location and getting there
Promenade MRT is about a 5-minute walk — not far, but there's no direct covered link to the station. Gardens by the Bay is also around 5 minutes away, which puts the big-ticket sight on this side of the bay right on your doorstep.
Things to know before booking
Two honest caveats. First, the MRT walk: five minutes is fine, but with no direct link you're out in the open to reach Promenade. Second, the rates — some guest reviews flag that prices at certain times run higher than the room quality justifies, and the calendar swings up toward $710 at the top. It's also a design-and-garden hotel at heart, so if you came for the MBS rooftop or a Raffles-style heritage stay, this is a different proposition.
Our take
This is an award-winning, eco-luxury design hotel built around one strong idea, and it delivers on it. For travelers who care about design and want a green, well-located 5-star at a more reasonable price than MBS or Raffles, the Sky Gardens and that infinity pool view make it an easy pick. Score 8.7/10.

The Honest Verdict — pros & what to know
- The Garden-in-a-Hotel concept is the real draw — roughly 15,000 sq m of sky gardens and greenery, an eco-luxury design that doesn't really have a match in Singapore.
- The rooftop infinity pool lines up a clear view of Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. Several guests call it a comparable view to MBS for well under half the price.
- Rooms start at about 42 sq m, larger than the average 5-star room in Singapore, decorated in green-and-white tones that follow the planted theme.
- Gardens by the Bay is only about 5 minutes away, so the big-ticket sight on this side of the bay is on your doorstep.
- Rates open around $240 a night, which is reasonable for a 5-star this close to Marina Bay and noticeably cheaper than MBS or Raffles.
- Promenade MRT is about a 5-minute walk. Not far, but there's no direct covered link to the station.
- Some guest reviews flag that rates at certain times run higher than the room quality justifies.
- It leans hard on the garden-and-pool design, so if you mainly want the headline MBS rooftop or a Raffles-style heritage stay, this is a different kind of property.

Insider Tips
- Time your pool visit for the Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay view — it's the cheapest way to get that skyline shot without paying MBS rates.
- Watch the rate calendar: prices swing across the $240 to about $710 range, so flexible dates can save you a lot.
- Walk over to Gardens by the Bay, which is only about 5 minutes away, rather than waiting on transit.
