On my previous visits to Singapore, I've usually stayed not too far from the Marina Area at properties like the JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach and the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay (formerly the Conrad Centennial Singapore), but on this trip things have been different.

I've stayed at the city's InterContinental property which sits in the considerably more quiet area of Robertson Quay and then, for a complete contrast to that, I moved on to the Grand Hyatt Singapore.


A Traveling for Miles review of the Grand Hyatt Singapore.

On my previous visits to Singapore, I’ve usually stayed not too far from the Marina Area at properties like the JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach and the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay (formerly the Conrad Centennial Singapore), but on this trip things have been different.

I’ve stayed at the city’s InterContinental property which sits in the considerably more quiet area of Robertson Quay and then, for a complete contrast to that, I moved on to the Grand Hyatt Singapore.

Location

The Grand Hyatt Singapore sits just off the western end of Orchard Road and that puts it within walking distance of a lot of Singapore’s largest malls and a lot of its high-end shops and boutiques.

If you’re looking for a quiet spot, this isn’t it as Orchard Road is one of Singapore’s busiest areas and Scotts Road (on which the Grand Hyatt sits) is anything but a small side street – it’s five lanes wide outside the property.

Multiple lanes of traffic outside the Grand Hyatt.

That being said, don’t be put off by that. By its very nature, Singapore is a busy metropolis and because the Grand Hyatt is just a 4-minute walk from Orchard MRT station (the city’s subway), it’s just a good place to base yourself if you’re in town to look around as well as if you’re here to shop.

You’re unlikely to be walking to any of Singapore’s major sights from the Grand Hyatt (if it’s not too hot, the 30-minute walk to the Botanic Gardens may be ok), but City Hall and Raffles Place stations are just three and four stops away respectively (no changes needed), and those are both close to a lot of the major sights.

Dhoby Ghaut station is just two stops away and with three MRT lines at that station, you can change there to get to yet more sights.

To get to the Grand Hyatt Singapore from Changi Airport, the quickest mode of transport is likely to be a “Grab” (Asia’s equivalent of Uber/Lyft) which should cost between $25 and $35 (US) and will take around 25 minutes. At peak times it may take longer (but probably no more than 35 minutes in total).

If you’re hoping to use public transport, the simplest option will be the no. 36 bus from Changi T4 to Orchard Station from where you’ll have a ~4-minute walk to the hotel. Expect the total journey time to be at least an hour.

The MRT is an option, but as you’ll have at least two changes and as it will take as long as the bus, it’s not going to be a very practical option for most people.

The Grand Hyatt Singapore is a World of Hyatt Category 6 property, but on this occasion, I didn’t pay with points. I booked a Hyatt Leverage rate for a 2-night stay in an entry-level King Bed room, and paid $604 (US). That included all taxes and fees.

At the time of the booking, the same two nights would have cost 50,000 points (I booked pre the big award chart changes), so, had I booked with points, I would have got just 1.2 cents of value out of each point used and that’s a poor use of points.

On this trip, I wasn’t traveling with Joanna, I was only staying two nights, and I knew that even the entry-level rooms at the Grand Hyatt are large, so I didn’t bother using a Suite Upgrade Award. I left my upgrade chances in the hands of the upgrade gods.

Arrival and first impressions

“This place is big” was just about the first thought I had when I arrived at the bus stop opposite the Grand Hyatt and looked up at the hotel (I had come from the InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay). What I didn’t realise at the time was what an understatement “big” would turn out to be.

Grand Hyatt Singapore.

As you walk through the main entrance of the hotel, you find yourself in a large lobby area with a sweeping staircase heading up to a mezzanine level and the front desk directly ahead of you.

There’s an instant feeling of space here, and if things look shiny and new, it’s because they are.

The Grand Hyatt Singapore closed for renovations in 2022, and it started a phase-by-phase reopening in 2024, but it wasn’t fully reopened until late August/early September 2025, so despite being around since 1971 in one form or another (it was the Hyatt Regency Singapore back then), it’s now, effectively, a new hotel.

I arrived at the front desk at 12:45 and with check-in time set at 15:00, I wasn’t particularly surprised to find that my room wasn’t yet ready.

While the desk agent was doing the pre-check-in paperwork, I was thanked for being a World of Hyatt Globalist, told that the complimentary Globalist breakfast can be taken in the Grand Club only, and offered a late check out (which I took), but there was no mention of a complimentary upgrade.

I didn’t bring it up, but I noted that at the time, the property was still selling a number of different room types above the one I had booked including an entry level suite.

After handing over my luggage, the desk agent gave me a temporary key for the Grand Club (the lounge), and I went for a walk around the property.

Wow. This place isn’t just big, it’s huge.

Overall, the Grand Hyatt Singapore has 699 rooms and these are split across two completely separate buildings – the Grand Wing (which is where the lobby sits) has 407 rooms and suites and the Terrace Wing which has 292 rooms and suites.

Not only are the buildings separate, but they also have completely different feels to them. The Grand Wing feels like a regular, large city center hotel, while the Terrace Wing has been designed to feel more like a resort than a hotel sitting in the heart of a major city.

These don’t just feel like two separate buildings, they feel like two completely separate hotels, and because the walk from one to the other isn’t exactly short and involves a walk through what feels like a man made rainforest, they may as well be.

Grand Hyatt Singapore.

After having my fill of exploring the hotel and after having done some work in the Grand Club, I returned to the front desk at 14:30 to see if my room was ready yet. It was not, but I got a message asking me to return to the lobby to pick up my key just before 15:00.

My luggage had already been taken up to my room and I had been upgraded to a King Bed Deluxe room in the Grand Wing (one level up from the room I had booked). Not exactly a big upgrade, and there were rooms above this one that were still being sold online, but I was happy enough with this.

Globalists should note, however, that this doesn’t look like a property that’s going to offer big upgrades very often (even if entry level suites are still available at check-in).

King Bed Deluxe room

The room floor hallways are well-lit and the gold carpeting on the floor adds color and brightness to the surroundings.

Grand Hyatt Singapore.
A room floor hallway.

The entry-level rooms (King Bed/2 Twin Beds) at the Grand Hyatt Singapore are 450 sq ft (42 sq m) in size, and by most hotel standards, that makes them enormous.

The King Bed Deluxe room that I had been upgraded to is even bigger at 581 sq ft (54 sq m). That’s larger than a lot of suites I’ve seen.

My room was on the 12th floor (of 21) and this is the view as you open the door.

What you see when you first open the door to this King Bed Deluxe room.

In the short hallway, there’s a bench on the left, a large walk-in closet on the right (I’ll come back to this) and the main part of the room is directly ahead.

As you walk into the main part of the room, you pass an ornate cabinet which houses the mini bar and all the other associated amenities.

As usual, none of this is free 🙂

Past the cabinet is a banquette, a chair, and a good-size round table next to which is a power strip (built into the wall) offering two universal power outlets, two USB-A ports, a USB-C port and an HDMI port.

No shortage of power options.

Between the power options and the surprisingly comfortable banquette, this is a good place to get some work done.

Turning right at the table, you find yourself facing the main sleeping area complete with King-size bed, a lounging chair with footstool, a chaise longue and, of course, a large flat screen TV facing the bed.

I’m not sure the images do justice to how spacious this area is, but take it from me, it’s not cramped!

I don’t know how many charging points most guests will need, but I get the feeling that you could charge the contents of a small Apple Store in this room!

The door to the room’s en suite bathroom is to the left of the bed (as you look at it) and the spaciousness continues in here.

The toiletries are full-size and by Balmain (just as they are at the Grand Hyatt Erawan Bangkok and the Grand Hyatt Berlin, so this is probably a Grand Hyatt thing).

And there are various amenities in the drawers as well.

Back in the main part of the room, the view looks out over the front entrance of the hotel and Scotts Road.

The view over Scotts Road.

A little amazingly, I barely heard any noise from the five lanes of traffic below (I heard some sirens a couple of times) so the sound insulation seems very good.

Also, if you don’t like the view but still want light coming in, the room controls allow you to lower a sheer curtain.

And if you don’t want any light entering at all, you can lower the blackout blinds which work very, very well.

The last area of the room that I need to cover is one that I mentioned at the very beginning of this section – the walk-in closet which sits off the entrance hallway.

This is what the closet looks like.

There is so much space for clothes here. You would have to seriously overpack to run out of hanging space and drawer space here, and with drawers on either side of the bed as well, this room may offer the most space for storage out of any regular (non-suite) room that I’ve stayed in.

So how to sum this room up?

Well, aside from the over-the-top marble in the bathroom, I like the decor. The colors look elegant, there’s nothing garish here (the oranges and golds work well), the furniture is surprisingly comfortable, the room isn’t cluttered (the designers haven’t filled space just for the sake of filling space), and the whole area feels spacious.

The bed is comfortable, the bedding and the pillows are very nice, the blackout blinds do a fantastic job, the soundproofing seems very good, there’s more storage space than most guests will need, and you can’t move more than a few feet without finding an outlet where you can charge a device.

It will be interesting to see how some of these materials age, but other than the light colored fabric on the lounging chair, there doesn’t seem to be much in this room that will be overly susceptible to misuse or spillages, so even on that front I can’t find much wrong.

The fact is that this is a genuinely good room, and given that it often only costs $35-$45 more per night than the entry-level room, that will be a good-value upgrade if you feel you need ~130 sq ft (~12 sq m) more space.

Dining and bars at the Grand Hyatt Singapore

There are seven restaurants and bars at the Grand Hyatt Singapore, spread across the Grand Wing, the Terrace Wing, and the lobby level.

Needless to say, because this is Singapore (a city brimming with wonderful dining spots), I didn’t dine in any of the hotel eateries nor did I drink in any of the bars, but I did gather some information on what is offered, and I even managed to take a few pictures too.

Le Pristine

Le Pristine is the hotel’s fine dining room situated on the mezzanine level of the Grand Wing. The food, according to the property, is modern European sharing plates with a “signature Seafood Orecchiette” alongside a curated wine list.

StraitsKitchen

StraitsKitchen (not a typo, the two words are pushed together for some reason) is located at ground level just past the check-in desks.

Essentially, this is a local buffet, covering Singaporean, Chinese, Malay, and Indian dishes, with popiah, chili crab, butter chicken, satay, and nyonya kueh among the dishes the hotel names. This is also where breakfast is served (this is covered later in the article).

Pete’s Place

Pete’s Place is on the basement level of the Grand Wing (the entrance is on your left as you enter the hotel through the main entrance) and, apparently, has been part of the hotel since 1973.

  • Lunch – daily: 12:00 to 14:30 (set menu or à la carte)
  • Dinner – daily: 17:30 to 22:30 (à la carte menu only)

Last orders are 30 minutes before closing at both services.

Oasis

Oasis sits by the main swimming pool next to the Terrace Wing, and it’s a restaurant and a bar in one, with grilled dishes and local plates (e.g. nasi goreng and mee goreng) on the menus (all day menu, lunch set menu, kids menu, and BBQ dinner buffet) and wine, beers and cocktails at the bar.

10 | SCOTTS

10 | SCOTTS sits opposite StraitsKitchen on the ground level of the Grand Wing. This acts as an all-day lounge, with an à la carte menu focusing on European/Mediterranean dishes, afternoon tea menus, and a “happy hour indulgence” menu which also focuses on European/Mediterranean dishes.

Martini Bar

Martini Bar is situated on the mezzanine level of the Grand Wing and the easiest way to reach it is via the sweeping staircase on the left side of the lobby next to the hotel entrance.

As the name suggests martinis are a big deal here, with the hotel listing gold moscato oolong, espresso, lychee, and yuzu versions. Snacks come from the Le Pristine kitchen which sits next door.

BRIX

BRIX is the hotel’s basement bar and “nightspot” located in the Grand Wing. I didn’t notice this venue on my visit (hence no images), but I’m told that it’s split into a main bar, a wine bar, and a whisky bar, with live music every night.

  • Monday: 21:00 to 02:00
  • Tuesday to Saturday: 21:00 to 04:00
  • Sunday: Closed

Last orders for snacks are at 00:45. The hotel sets a minimum entry age of 21 for women and 23 for men. Dress code is “casual, with no shorts, swimwear, bathrobes, slippers or singlets“.

Link to the BRIX website

Breakfast

The hotel’s main breakfast is served between 06:30 and 10:30 daily in StraitsKitchen, and takes the form of a buffet which, at the time of writing, costs SGD 45++ per adult / SGD 22.50++ per child (6-12 years old).

To translate, that’s ~$35 for adults and ~$18 for children + 10% service + tax (9% at the time of writing). Total cost is therefore ~$42 for adults and ~$21 for children (tax is usually calculated on the cost + service charge).

The only way to describe the buffet is to say that it’s huge.

Grand Hyatt Singapore StraitsKitchen
StraitsKitchen just opening for breakfast.

There’s a mixture of cuisines on offer with Asian, Southeast Asian and American/European dishes taking center stage.

As far as I could tell (on this visit), just about every “western” breakfast food was available, so I’m not about to start listing all those standard dishes. More interesting (I think) are all the Asian/Southeast Asian dishes that are offered, and there are so many, I couldn’t note them all down.

This is a sample of what Asian/Southeast Asian dishes were included in the buffet that I saw:

  • Shabji Ka Masala – organic vegetables, onion, chili, and spices.
  • Tomato Uthapam – a thick, savory South Indian pancake with chopped tomatoes, onions, green chilies, and fresh herbs.
  • Channa Masala – a vegetarian chickpea curry
  • Sambar – a hot stew made from split peas (toor dal), tamarind broth, and a mix of vegetables.
  • Matar Poha – an Indian breakfast dish made with flattened rice and fresh green peas.
  • Bengal Machi Curry – a fish curry
  • Murgh Kari – a chicken curry with onions, tomato, and spices.
  • Nasi Lemak – a traditional Malaysian rice-based dish
  • Kuning Fish – a small fish which is the classic, essential side dish served alongside Nasi Lemak
  • Coconut Rice
  • Chicken Rendang – a rich, aromatic, and spicy Southeast Asian chicken dish
  • Sambal Cage-free Eggs – eggs cooked in a rich, spicy, chili paste
  • Ikan Bilis – Malaysian small dried anchovies
  • Chicken & Prawn Dumpling Soup
  • Laksa Singapura – spicy noodle soup
  • Prawn Mee Soup – prawns, egg noodles, rice vermicelli, sliced pork, bean sprouts, and a spicy chili broth.
  • Vegetarian Hot & Sour
  • Wok-fried Char Kway Teow – a famous Southeast Asian street food dish featuring stir-fried flat rice noodles with soy sauce, eggs, prawns, Chinese sausage, and bean sprouts
  • Assorted Dim Sum

Ordinarily, I’m the sort of person who will baulk at the idea of paying $42 for breakfast (especially in a city like Singapore where the food is so amazing and doesn’t have to be expensive), but this is not a standard breakfast buffet.

Well, it’s a standard breakfast buffet in a lot of hotels in Southeast Asia, but it’s not like any buffet you’re likely to find in the United States or Europe. This is on a different level, and given how much we often have to pay for considerably inferior hotel breakfasts in the Western hemisphere, this could be considered a bargain.

Whisper it quietly, but I’ll happily pay $42 for this.

The Grand Club

The Grand Club is what Grand Hyatt properties call their Executive Lounges and you can enjoy access via four different routes:

  • Via Elite status – World of Hyatt Globalists get complimentary access
  • Via Club Access Awards – earned through Hyatt’s Milestone Rewards
  • Via booking a room rate that includes Grand Club access
  • Using a Guest of Honor voucher on your stay, gifted by a World of Hyatt Globalist (this gives the user Globalist elite benefits for up to 7 nights)

At the Grand Hyatt Singapore, the Grand Club is located on the mezzanine level (access via elevator only), and is open between 07:00 and 22:00 daily.

There are a mixture of seating options in the Grand Club and these images should give you a good idea of what is offered.

View of Scotts Road from the Grand Club.

For a hotel with 699 rooms, this is quite a small lounge (especially compared to the Hyatt Regency Seattle, where the lounge no longer offers any food or drinks service but the space itself is still there for guests to use), but the seating options are comfortable and it can be a nice place to work if you’d like a change from your room.

At most times of the day, the Grand Club is quiet and empty, so finding a seat isn’t often an issue. During the hours when the club has a food and drinks service, however, crowding can be an issue, and it’s often thanks to inconsiderate couples/pairs who take up tables for four when there are open tables for two.

Given the chance, I’d have these people removed from the lounge. Fortunately for them, it’s not up to me.

Anyway …

During most hours of the day, the lounge offers hot drinks, cold drinks, and snacks:

  • Vegetable chips/crisps
  • Oriental mix
  • Honey mustard soy chips/crisps
  • Oatmeal and cranberry cookies
  • Walnut chocolate chip cookies
  • A variety of whole fruit

Grand Hyatt Singapore Grand Club. Grand Hyatt Singapore Grand Club. Grand Hyatt Singapore Grand Club. Grand Hyatt Singapore Grand Club.

There are, however, three parts of the day when the Grand Club offers a little more.

Breakfast:

  • Monday to Friday 07:00 – 10:30
  • Weekends & Public Holidays 07:00 – 11:00

Evening cocktails:

  • 17:30 – 19:30 daily

Also, and this isn’t mentioned on the welcome sheet you’re given at check in, the club also offers sandwiches, snacks and cakes around 14:30.

On the day I arrived and killed some time in the lounge waiting for my room to be ready, this was what was offered:

  • Egg mayonnaise sandwiches
  • Beef tartare tarts
  • Pulut Hitam Chiffon cake
  • Carrot walnut cake
Mid-afternoon snacks.

All of that was alongside the snacks that are available throughout the day.

That’s a very comprehensive breakfast selection and while it isn’t up to the standard of the breakfast you get in StraitsKitchen (which you have to pay for), there’s enough here to keep most people happy. And the quality is good too (the laksa was excellent).

Grand Club evening cocktails

The evening service is called “evening cocktails”, but it’s actually a full meal service with hot and cold food alongside alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks.

Here’s a selection of items that were on offer one evening (the offerings rotate so you don’t get the same dishes every evening).

Hot items

  • Crystal shrimp dumplings
  • Chili crab pao
  • Curry samosas
  • Deep fried salted bean curd
  • Tandoori chicken
  • Teriyaki chicken meatballs
  • Butter arancini

Just like breakfast, this is another good selection for guests and if, for some reason, you don’t want to or can’t go out into the fantastic Singapore food scene, there’s more than enough on offer to put together a full meal.

The pools

The Grand Hyatt Singapore has two pools – a wellness pool and a standard pool – and both are located over in the Terrace Wing of the hotel.

If you want to get there from the Grand Wing (as I did), put your hiking shoes on, take the elevator to the 4th level, and then walk across to the Terrace Wing via various stairs and what appears to be a small rain forest.

Presumably there’s an accessible way to get to the pools as well, but I didn’t see it.

The wellness pool is the first of the two pools that you come to, and it’s more of a large soaking tub than a traditional pool.

It’s here where this enormous hotel starts to feel less like a city center property and more like a resort, and that feeling only increases as you move past the wellness pool, walk past Oasis (the restaurant mentioned earlier) and arrive at the main pool.

Ok, you’re not going to forget that you’re in a major metropolis and think you’re in Bora Bora – you just have to look up from your sun lounger to see a forest of high-rise buildings – but the overall feel that you get here isn’t one of a standard city hotel pool.

And some of the seating options are fun too.

Towels and complimentary water are provided by the poolside …

Oasis is steps away and serves food between 11:00 and 21:30 and drinks between 11:00 and 23:00. And if you come around here of an evening, it’s often quiet, peaceful, and looking good (the pool is open from 07:00 to 21:00 daily).

As I said, it’s not Bora Bora, but it’s nice 🙂

The Damai spa and fitness center

The spa & fitness center sits in the Terrace Wing, so if you’re staying in the Grand Wing you get a walk to warm you up before you arrive.

The fitness center is open 24/7, it’s well equipped, and it looks like this:

As you can probably see from some of the images, parts of the facility have large floor-to-ceiling windows which allow a lot of natural light to flood in and that makes this a considerably more attractive place to work out than the basement gyms that a lot of city center hotels offer.

If it’s not too hot, there’s even a “movement lawn” for guests to use to exercise (although it’s less lawn and more green carpeting).

The locker rooms attached to the fitness center and spa look fantastic and feel upscale.

And the men’s locker room offers three full showers.

The spa is open between 10:00 and 21:00 daily, with the last appointment at 19:30.

As well as all the usual treatments, there’s a dual therapy sauna, an air lounge hydro pool, a salt-infused steam room and, apparently, a halo contrast therapy shower.

I have absolutely no idea what any of that is, but I’m sure if you’re a spa fan you’ll know what that’s all about and you can get more information here.

In summary

This isn’t a hotel. It’s two hotels in one and it’s huge. If you’re looking for somewhere small, cosy, or boutique-like, this is absolutely not the place for you.

It’s also not the place for you if you’d like to stay away from the hustle and bustle that you’ll find in various parts of Singapore, as this is right in the center of the chaos that is Orchard Road.

That being said, there are a lot of positive things about this hotel.

The decor is nice, the rooms are well designed and are a fantastic size (I’m not sure I’ve ever stayed anywhere else where the entry-level rooms are well over 400 sq ft in size), the breakfast buffet is delicious, if you like to “eat in” there are numerous options, the main pool area is a great place to unwind after a busy day, the Grand Club is a good place to get some work done, and the transport links are very good.

Sure, from a World of Hyatt point of view, you could argue that it would be nice if upgrades were a bit more “special” and it would be nice if Globalists could enjoy breakfast in StraitsKitchen, but it’s just as easy to argue against both – my room was bigger than a lot of suites elsewhere and the food in the lounge was very good, so what more do we want or need?

Overall, this is a very solid hotel and for the rates that it charges, it’s often very good value too.

Whether this is a hotel for you will very much depend on how you feel about the size and the location, but I really don’t think that should put too many people off.

Would I return? Yes, I would. In fact, I’m already booked to stay here on my next trip to Singapore as for me, it checks more boxes than it doesn’t.
