Our favourite rooms
Room sizes at The Standard, Singapore are uniform, with categories differentiated by view or bed set-up until you get to the Junior Suite Pool View: with slightly more lounge space, this is our pick. All rooms have polished retro-modern decor with bamboo panelling, flashes of colour and the most comfortable of beds dressed in 300-thread-count linen. The Standard Suite Pool View has a separate bedroom and extra living space, which can take an extra bed, and the Suite Spot Pool View is your top-billed, two-bedroom option.
Poolside
Sure, you can leave the shelter of your parasol-shaded lounger for a cooling dip, but the pool at The Standard, Singapore lends itself to all kinds of decadent downtime, none of which needs to be athletic: fine-tune yours with cocktails and light bites, and — as the sun retreats — guest DJ sets. The pool is open for swims from 6am until 10pm daily, with bar service between 11am and 9pm.
Packing tips
Look to flowing vintage threads and statement botanical prints to channel the Seventies nostalgia of your stylishly retro basecamp.
