The Lion City, Curated by Levart
Singapore is a city of contrasts.
Futuristic architecture rises beside tropical gardens. Michelin-starred dining exists alongside legendary hawker stalls. Quiet temples, polished shopping districts and rooftop bars all form part of the same remarkably seamless city.
Compact, refined and effortless to navigate, Singapore is ideal for a luxurious long weekend or the beginning of a wider journey through Southeast Asia.
This is not a guide to everything.
It is a carefully selected edit of the places, experiences and addresses that capture Singapore at its very best.
EXPERIENCE
Gardens by the Bay
Nature, imagined for the future
Few places represent Singapore’s vision as perfectly as Gardens by the Bay.
The Supertree Grove, Flower Dome and Cloud Forest create a world where architecture and nature seem to merge. Visit during the afternoon, then stay until evening when the Supertrees illuminate during the Garden Rhapsody light show.
It is one of the city’s most memorable experiences and an essential first stop.
Address: 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore
Cloud Forest
A tropical world above the city
Step inside a mist-filled landscape of lush vegetation, suspended walkways and one of the world’s most striking indoor waterfalls.
The atmosphere feels almost cinematic, offering a quiet escape from the heat outside. Take your time here. The experience is not only visual; it is designed to make you slow down and observe every detail.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark
Singapore from above
From the SkyPark, the city reveals its scale.
Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay and the surrounding skyline unfold beneath you, offering one of the clearest views of Singapore’s remarkable urban landscape.
Late afternoon is the ideal moment to visit, when the city begins to transition from daylight into evening.
Singapore River Cruise
The city from the water
A river cruise offers a slower and more atmospheric perspective of Singapore.
The route passes through Boat Quay, Clarke Quay and Marina Bay, tracing the city’s journey from historic trading port to global metropolis.
Choose an evening departure for illuminated bridges, waterfront buildings and reflections across the river.
Departure area: Clarke Quay or Boat Quay, Singapore
Jewel Changi Airport
Where the journey begins before take-off
Changi Airport is more than a place of departure.
At the centre of Jewel, the Rain Vortex descends through a vast indoor garden surrounded by shops, restaurants and carefully designed public spaces. Arrive earlier than necessary and allow time to explore.
Singapore understands that even an airport can become part of the destination.
EXPLORE
Marina Bay
The modern face of Singapore
Marina Bay is where Singapore feels most cinematic.
Walk from the Merlion towards Marina Bay Sands, passing polished architecture, waterfront promenades and some of the city’s most recognisable landmarks.
The area is especially beautiful around sunset, when the buildings begin to glow and the bay reflects the city lights.
Tiong Bahru
Art Deco and slower mornings
Tiong Bahru offers a softer, more residential side of Singapore.
Known for its Art Deco architecture, independent cafés and local boutiques, it is an ideal neighbourhood for a relaxed morning away from the larger attractions.
Come for breakfast, walk without a strict plan and discover a quieter rhythm of city life.
Kampong Glam
Colour, culture and independent spirit
At the heart of Kampong Glam stands the magnificent Sultan Mosque, surrounded by colourful streets, cafés and independent shops.
The neighbourhood feels creative and energetic, with murals, textiles and small boutiques adding character to every corner.
Visit earlier in the day before the streets become busier.
Chinatown
History through food and architecture
Chinatown brings together temples, historic shophouses, markets and some of Singapore’s most accessible local food.
Explore the smaller streets, visit the temples and stop for lunch rather than treating the area as a quick photo opportunity.
Its beauty lies in the contrast between tradition and the modern skyline nearby.
EAT & DRINK
CÉ LA VI
Dinner above the Lion City
Few addresses capture Singapore’s ambition quite like CÉ LA VI.
Located above Marina Bay Sands, it combines panoramic views, a glamorous rooftop atmosphere and one of the city’s most memorable sunset settings.
Reserve around 6:30 PM. Arrive before the light begins to fade, order a drink and watch the skyline transform below you.
Burnt Ends
Fire, precision and modern dining
Burnt Ends has become one of Singapore’s most celebrated dining destinations.
Its open kitchen, wood-fired cooking and confident approach to modern Australian cuisine make it a true destination restaurant rather than simply another dinner reservation.
Tables are limited, so booking in advance is essential.
Odette
An evening of quiet refinement
Odette offers elegant French cuisine in a serene and highly considered setting.
The experience is precise, polished and beautifully paced, making it an ideal choice for a special evening.
It is one of the city’s strongest addresses for travellers who value fine dining as part of the journey itself.
Address: National Gallery Singapore, 1 St Andrew’s Road, Singapore
Lau Pa Sat
Singapore after dark
Lau Pa Sat is one of the best places to experience Singapore’s hawker culture in a historic setting.
Visit in the evening, when the surrounding street transforms into the famous satay area. Order several dishes, share everything and allow the atmosphere to become part of the experience.
Try chicken rice, satay, laksa or char kway teow.
Atlas
Art Deco grandeur
Atlas feels less like a bar and more like a film set.
Its dramatic Art Deco interior, soaring ceilings and carefully curated drinks menu create one of the most visually memorable evenings in Singapore.
Come before dinner for cocktails or make it the final destination of the night.
Level33
Drinks above Marina Bay
Level33 offers elevated views of Marina Bay in a setting that feels polished without becoming overly formal.
It is an excellent choice for sunset drinks, particularly for travellers looking for something quieter than the city’s most famous rooftop venues.
Address: Marina Bay Financial Centre, 8 Marina Boulevard, Singapore
STAY
Marina Bay Sands
Singapore at its most iconic
Marina Bay Sands is not simply a hotel; it is part of the city’s identity.
Its rooftop pool, direct access to luxury shopping and position beside Gardens by the Bay make it an effortless base for a first visit.
Choose it for views, energy and the feeling of staying inside one of Singapore’s defining landmarks.
Address: 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore
The Fullerton Bay Hotel
Waterfront elegance
The Fullerton Bay Hotel offers a more intimate expression of luxury.
Its waterfront setting, refined interiors and exceptional views across Marina Bay create an atmosphere that feels polished and calm.
It is ideal for travellers who prefer understated sophistication over spectacle.
Address: 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore
Capella Singapore
A private tropical retreat
Set within the greenery of Sentosa Island, Capella feels removed from the pace of the city.
The experience is quiet, spacious and highly discreet, making it one of Singapore’s finest options for travellers seeking privacy and restoration.
Stay here when the hotel itself is intended to become part of the journey.
Address: 1 The Knolls, Sentosa Island, Singapore
Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore
A softer arrival
Located close to Changi Airport, Dusit Thani Laguna offers a peaceful beginning or ending to a Singapore itinerary.
Its resort atmosphere, open spaces and relaxed surroundings make it particularly suited to travellers arriving after a long flight or continuing elsewhere in Asia.
Address: 11 Laguna Golf Green, Singapore
SHOP
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
Luxury beneath the skyline

It is convenient, expansive and perfectly placed for a day around Marina Bay.
Address: 10 Bayfront Avenue, Singapore
ION Orchard
The centre of Singapore shopping
ION Orchard is one of the city’s essential shopping destinations.
International luxury brands, beauty, fashion and dining are spread across its striking architectural space, making it a natural starting point for exploring Orchard Road.
Address: 2 Orchard Turn, Singapore
Design Orchard
Singaporean creativity
For something more local, visit Design Orchard.
