When it comes to finding the perfect blend of luxury, convenience and family-friendly services, Four Seasons is always a top contender. My family and I recently spent a whirlwind weekend at the Four Seasons Singapore, and from the moment we arrived, it was clear that the hotel knew how to balance world-class service with thoughtful amenities that cater to families. For those looking for a quick city break or a stopover destination en-route to Asia, this hotel provides a seamless blend of relaxation and adventure in Singapore’s heart.
Day 1: Welcome to Four Seasons Singapore
After a quick and easy check-in, our children were greeted with small stuffed animals of Singapore’s icon symbol—the lion. We were then escorted to our rooms, and right away, the hotel’s commitment to family travel was evident. For our family of five, two interconnecting rooms were the perfect solution. The setup allowed us the luxury of space—our kids could spread out and relax, while my husband and I had our own private retreat. The rooms are elegantly appointed, yet practical, with every convenience we needed.
What really set the tone for our stay, however, were the breathtaking views from our windows. One side offered a beautiful view of Singapore’s iconic skyline, while the other revealed lush greenery from the nearby Botanic Gardens. It was a picture-perfect welcome to Singapore, and we felt instantly immersed in the city’s contrasting natural and urban charms.
Exploring Orchard Road and Beyond
With just a weekend to explore, location was key, and Four Seasons Singapore couldn’t have been better situated. A short walk from the hotel brought us right to Orchard Road, Singapore’s shopping haven. Though the kids weren’t too excited about shopping, the proximity to the metro station (MRT) was a game-changer. Within minutes, we were connected to the rest of the city, ready to explore Singapore’s top attractions.
Our first stop? Gardens by the Bay. The kids loved running around the Supertree Grove and marveling at the futuristic structures, while we enjoyed the cool respite of the Flower Dome. It was an easy journey from the hotel, and being able to return quickly to our serene rooms afterward gave us all the energy we needed to keep up with our packed itinerary.
Dinner at Nobu: A Culinary Highlight
That evening, we dined at Nobu, which is conveniently located right within Four Seasons Singapore. Nobu is globally recognized for its innovative Japanese-Peruvian cuisine, and dining there was one of the highlights of our weekend. My husband and I treated ourselves to signature dishes like the black cod miso and yellowtail jalapeño, while our kids were thrilled that the restaurant accommodated their simpler tastes. Despite the restaurant’s sophistication, the atmosphere was family-friendly, and the staff made sure our children felt just as welcome as the adults.
Travel advisors can confidently recommend this dining experience to families looking for a special meal without the stress of leaving the hotel or worrying about finding something on the menu for picky eaters. Nobu’s willingness to adjust their offerings for our children was a huge plus, and the experience was memorable for everyone.
Day 2: Adventure and Relaxation in Equal Measure
We kicked off the next day with a quick swim at the hotel’s stunning outdoor pool. For the kids, this was the highlight of the trip—after all, no vacation is complete without some pool time. The staff were attentive, offering towels and refreshing drinks, and the tranquil setting allowed my husband and I to relax while keeping an eye on the kids.
Afterward, we hopped on the MRT once again, this time for a trip to the Singapore Zoo. A world-class attraction, the zoo was a hit with our entire family. The kids were captivated by the orangutans and the interactive exhibits, while we appreciated how easy it was to get there thanks to the hotel’s excellent location near the metro.
Four Seasons’ Family Services: A Game-Changer
After a busy day exploring, it was wonderful to return to Four Seasons Singapore and unwind. One feature that makes the hotel stand out for families is its attentive service. We were especially impressed by the little touches designed specifically for kids. Upon arrival, the hotel had prepared kid-sized robes and slippers in the rooms, and the concierge had thoughtfully put together a list of family-friendly activities tailored to our interests.
Our rooms also came with access to the Executive Club Lounge, which offers an elevated experience for travelers seeking extra comfort and personalized service. Located on the third floor, with sweeping views of the city skyline, the lounge provides an exclusive space to relax and unwind throughout the day. Guests can enjoy a range of complimentary refreshments, from a gourmet breakfast spread to evening cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, perfect for those who want convenient, high-quality dining options in a quieter setting.
Top Recommendation
In just a weekend, Four Seasons Singapore impressed us with its perfect blend of luxury, convenience and thoughtful family-friendly amenities.

Whether your clients are looking for a sophisticated city escape or a convenient stopover before heading to the Maldives, Four Seasons Singapore offers the perfect urban retreat that will leave families refreshed, entertained, and eager to return.
