Walk around the RED DOT / CC0Two kilometres of malls along one road, with the hotels between them and the Botanic Gardens at the western end. It is the least Singaporean area on this list and the most comfortable: air-conditioned, predictable, connected, and almost entirely without street life. What it has that no other area does is the widest choice of large hotels in the city, and a covered walk to the MRT from most of them, which one degree north of the equator is worth more than it sounds.
