Conrad Singapore Orchard

Singapore is one of Asia's most exciting cities. It is modern, diverse and surprisingly green. For our stay, we deliberately sought a hotel that was not located in the tourist centre, but was still well connected and offered a high level of comfort. We chose the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road, a hotel with a rich history that reopened under a new name in early 2024 after extensive renovations. In this hotel review, we report in detail on our experiences at the Conrad Singapore Orchard Road in October 2025.

Conrad Singapore Marina Bay

Upon arriving in Singapore, we knew exactly what we wanted for our first few nights: a centrally located, comfortable hotel that also allowed us to take advantage of our Hilton status benefits. We chose the Conrad Singapore Marina Bay, a well-known luxury hotel in the heart of the city, which until recently was known as the Conrad Centennial Singapore. In this review, we share our personal impressions of the location, the rooms, the breakfast, the Executive Lounge, and the recreational facilities, and we'll show you who would particularly enjoy staying at this hotel.

Turkish Airlines Economy Class Airbus A350 to Singapore

Our long-haul flight with Turkish Airlines Economy Class on the Airbus A350 took us from Istanbul to Singapore. A modern aircraft, Do & Co catering, and a comprehensive in-flight entertainment program sounded like solid prerequisites for a pleasant flight. In this review, we describe our experiences with booking, the cabin, the seat, the food on board, and the in-flight entertainment, and assess how well Economy Class actually performed on this route.

Singapore Airlines SilverKris Business Class Lounge Terminal 3 Changi

After arriving on Singapore Airlines from Kuala Lumpur, we made our way from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3. We could have also gone to the Business Lounge in Terminal 2, but I had read that the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Business Class Lounge in Terminal 3 only reopened in November 2021 after extensive renovations and expansion. Find out if the trip was worth it in the lounge review.

Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG to Singapore

The route from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore was the busiest international flight route in the world in 2018 with 30,187 flights per year, according to an analysis by travel information service OAG Aviation Worldwide. The coronavirus pandemic has certainly reduced this figure significantly. Nevertheless, there are still numerous daily connections between the two Southeast Asian metropolises. We opted for a morning flight with Singapore Airlines. I was very excited to see what the Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737-800 NG had to offer in regional traffic.

Singapore Airlines Training Centre - A look behind the scenes 

An aircraft must be evacuated within 90 seconds. To ensure they can respond correctly and quickly in an emergency, airlines regularly train their personnel. But evacuation via the emergency slide of an Airbus A380 isn't the only part of the training schedule; makeup and service also need to be perfected. At the Singapore Airlines Training Center, I was able to get a glimpse behind the scenes.

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore

The range of hotels in Singapore is huge. The closer you get to the famous Marina Bay, the more luxurious and expensive the rooms become. During my last stay in the Southeast Asian city state, I stayed at the posh Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore. In the following hotel review, you can find out what you can expect in the 5-star hotel with 608 rooms, which is unassuming from the outside.

At 06:10 on 22 July 2016, the Singapore Airlines Airbus A350-900 landed in the North Rhine-Westphalian state capital for the first time and was traditionally greeted with a water fountain. From now on, the renowned five-star airline will be connecting Düsseldorf Airport with its hub in Singapore three times a week non-stop.

After checking out of the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Kuala Lumpur, we travelled by LRT and KLIA Express to the international airport. The journey took an hour in total, with a short wait at KL Sentral. We flew to Singapore with an airline that was new to me - Jetstar Asia Economy Class.
