The Regent (a Four Seasons Hotel) oozes class and elegance. It makes liberal use of marble, plush furnishings, elaborate flower arrangements and dazzling chandeliers. Rooms are spacious and tastefully styled, with ferns and potted palms adding a sense of tropical allure. The cocktail bar – adorned with overstuffed armchairs and polished wood – is one of Singapore’s most underrated watering holes, while Modern European restaurant Iggy’s is one of its best eateries.
