Pan Pacific Singapore Review

A tower at 7 Raffles Boulevard that has been part of the bay's skyline since 1986.

Best for

A first trip built around the set piecesTravellers who would rather not be outside in the heatAnyone here for the convention centre

Why it stands out

The covered access. Three malls and the convention centre without stepping into the sun, and the bay a few minutes on foot.

Main trade-off

The area scores 3.5 for value and 7.0 for food, the lowest in the city on both. Marina Bay is the dearest ground in Singapore and it eats indoors.

Why we recommend it

Best for the bay itself

Our pick for Marina Bay because it is in Marina Centre rather than on the far shore, with covered access to Suntec City, Marina Square, Millenia Walk and the convention centre — which one degree north of the equator is the difference between walking and not.
