St. Regis Hotel, Singapore

24-hour butler service, a fleet of Bentleys, and one of Asia's premiere private art collections (including an original sketch by Joan Miró) await you at this splendid, downtown high-rise. The 299 rooms are packed with edgy perks like self-defogging mirrors, Jim Thompson throw pillows, and leather-bound writing desks, highlighting bespoke luxury. Choose from any of the three fine-dining restaurants on site, inspired in style by everything from an imperial Chinese court to a distinctly English parlor. Ardent shoppers can take pleasure in the hotel's prestigious Orchard Road address, within a stone's throw of brand-name boutiques, while those not-so-inclined can stroll through the city's tranquil botanical gardens, just a short walk away.
