Marina Bay & City Hall

Marina Bay and City Hall are the heart of Singapore's grand-hotel brunch scene. Within a few minutes' walk of each other you'll find the city's heritage landmarks, including Raffles Hotel, The Fullerton and the Capitol Kempinski, as well as the glass towers of Marina Bay Sands and the Marina Centre hotels. Brunches here range from stately champagne buffets in colonial dining rooms to high-energy rooftop sessions with DJs and skyline views over the bay. This is the area to choose for a big occasion: a birthday, a farewell or showing visitors the city at its most glamorous. Expect premium pricing, free-flow Champagne packages from the big maisons, and some of the most elaborate seafood, carving and dessert spreads in Singapore. City Hall, Esplanade, Promenade and Bayfront MRT stations put everything within easy reach, and most brunches run on Sunday afternoons, with a handful adding a Saturday sitting. Book well ahead for public holidays and festive weekends.
