I was talking about Swissotel only (crest suit)
For rest of the properties, you can try booking room category one level below suite category. In that case you will most likely get an upgrade to the suite category due to Gold

Yeah, but here comparison is between swissotel & fairmont
Since we will be staying 5 to 6 nights in Singapore, should we stay in the five star hotel for the first 2 or the last 2 nights ?
The remaining 3--4 nights will be in a 3 star Ibis
Last 2. Or even better find a 4* for the entire period instead of checking in and out unnecessarily. I value my time more especially while on holiday.
Check in check out is pain and it wastes lot of time. I would personally not change more than 2 hotels in a trip, unless there is city hopping involved.
If you really want to save, stay in ibis during initial part of trip and then change once to other preferred hotels (sofitel or swissotel), else you can also choose Novotel Kitchener which is right in the middle of little India
In my expertise.
I would make decision based on my exit flight.
Because in Swissotel you can request late checkout till 5 I think.
So if your exit flight is at night then opt for last 1 or 2 Day.
If your exit flight is morning then opt for 1st 2 days.
As for remaining nights, I would strongly suggest ibis bencoolen or similar hotel as u will not spend most of the day in the room as u will be out and about.
Opting for a 4 star hotel is bad move because again u won't be spending much time.
Go budget for rest of the days and splurge for a day or 2.
I will not be flying out of Singapore after staying there.
I will be boarding a cruise from Singapore between 10:00 a.m. and 12 noon
And I prefer Fairmont or Swissotel attached to it for the two free night stay.
I will be paying using Accor points for Ibis for the remaining three to four nights stay

Its as good as flying out.
If its RCI, then get there as soon as possible, I would be there by 9, so that I don't miss a single second of fun, lmao.
Move Fairmont/Swissotel to start, so that u get the whole fun out of it.
Conflicting advice,
some say first 2, some say last 2 nights
some say first 2, some say last 2 nights
You get option to check out at 5pm then why would you check out at 10am?
When you can maximize till 5pm.
Plus your trip isn't ending in singapore.
You are doing cruise.
Cruise Basic Indoor Room > Any Suite in Any Hotel.
Both are good, and as you will be sightseeing most of time, either is good.
I will suggest Sofitel over Fairmont Singapore , the view from the infinity pool is really 👌
Which of the three hotels will allow late check out till 5:00 p.m.
Swissotel does for sure.
Have a word with them. They offered me late checkout that too on creat suite.
So Swissotel for the 5:00 p.m. check out and Sofitel for the infinity pool view.
Should I do the first FREE night in Sofitel and the second FREE night in Swissotel, and the next 4 nights in 3* Ibis pay with points?
Do you have a readymade itinerary of Singapore and Hong Kong?
That's your call.
Novotel Living isn't available.
Plus Ibis Bencoolen is a better choice.
It's centrally located and there is a bus stop right outside. And it is very close to everything.
Novotel Orchard is not available on my dates
I am getting Ibis McPherson Albert and Novena.
Which of these should I choose?
