Accor's newest hotel in Singapore opened in October 2017. Singapore now has three Sofitels: the funky, boutique style Sofitel So; Sofitel Sentosa (resort style) and now the 20 floor Sofitel City Centre, sitting half in the business district and half in Chinatown.
PROS
* The hotel is located above Tanjong Pagar MRT (which has direct access to Changi Airport rail line).
* Interesting locale - heritage area
* Adjoining huge Virgin Active Gym
CONS
* Lacks the wow-factor that Sofitel is renowned for.
* Small Club Lounge, seems cramped. Self-serve wine gizmo dispenses room temperature white wine???
* Many of the staff are overly friendly rather than professional.

Magnificently restored shophouses, 2 minutes walk from the hotel |

Expansive pool/spa area. Rooftop 30 metre infinity pool. Limited shaded areas. |
 |
Old meets new |
 |
Opt for the Chinatown shophouses view (rather than pool/skyscaper view), no direct sunlight in your room throughout the day. |

Barrel-aged cocktails in 1864 Bar |

Racines restaurant |
 |
Every room gets a Smartphone with free calls and data. Great for ordering sightseeing tickets at discounted prices. |
 |
Club Lounge (Club Millesime) adjoints the pool area. The lounge is quite small compared to other hotel lounges. |
