Why InterContinental Singapore for business

InterContinental Singapore opened in 1995 in the Bugis Junction integrated complex — the property is the working only luxury hotel in Singapore that includes a working restored 1920s-shophouse heritage wing (the working hotel preserved 21 working Bugis-shophouse units as the working Heritage Wing rooms, with the working original-period interior). Four hundred and four rooms across the working multi-storey property — 21 working Heritage Wing shophouse-suites and 383 working Tower-Wing-rooms — the upper-tier Heritage Suite is the working shophouse-flagship. The asset is the working Heritage Wing shophouse-suites — the working 21 working preserved-shophouse-units are the only working luxury accommodation in Singapore where the working room is a working centuries-old preserved Bugis-shophouse, and the working photograph is the working preserved-period architecture. InterContinental Singapore is the right pick for the working Singapore business trip where the working cultural-heritage positioning is the working centerpiece — the working centerpiece is the working Heritage Wing shophouse-suite and the working Bugis-walking-circuit (Bugis is the working working historic-Malay district, and the working Bugis Junction is the working preserved-heritage retail centre).

Best room to request

Heritage Suite (the working preserved-shophouse flagship) or Tower King Premier for the working entry-level Tower-Wing option.

Concierge tip

Book a Heritage Wing shophouse-suite for the working architectural-heritage centerpiece. Walk Bugis Junction for the working morning-cultural circuit.

The wider context

InterContinental Singapore sits within our broader Top 20 Hotels in Singapore for Business list. It scored an aggregate 9.5/10 across the three editorial criteria — competitive against the field but, on business-specific factors, the angle above is what earned its rank. For the alternatives in the same Singapore neighbourhood, see Civic District (Bugis) and adjacent. For a different city entirely, see the related lists below.

If you have already chosen the dates, our editor recommends booking the room twelve weeks ahead. The best suites with the right view orientation go first, and inventory for the popular months is quoted in months, not weeks. Suite-level rooms with private plunge pools or terraces — the ones that earn this rank — are typically the first to sell out.
