ROOMS The hotel has 608 guest rooms, including 18 one-bedroom Millenia Suites, three two-bedroom Millenia Suites and one Ritz Suite. All guest rooms and bathrooms o er views of either Marina Bay, Singapore Sports Hub or the Kallang River precinct. I stayed in the Premier Suite which was 72 sqm in size and overlooked the magnificent bay.

FOOD AND DRINK I always enjoy breakfasts when I travel and the breakfast bu et at Colony was one of the best I have eaten. I started my day with fried eggs with salmon, freshly squeezed orange juice and a cup of cappuccino. The hotel also has a one Michelin-star restaurant called Summer Pavilion which o ers an intimate and sophisticated Cantonese dining experience. Don't skip on an evening tipple at Republic ,

There is also a private VIP entrance and two prefunction areas. The Junior Ballroom o ers a meeting space with natural daylight and is divisible into two smaller rooms.

VERDICT I enjoyed a brief albeit luxurious stay at the Ritz-Carlton Millenia, Singapore. It is an ideal location for business travellers and discerning travellers who come on vacation with their families. Staying here is truly an experience that one will not forget.
