Top 10 Shopping Malls in Downtown Core/Downtown Singapore, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is a beautiful and stylish luxury shopping mall with a glass roof and amazing views of the Singapore financial district skyline. It has an excellent food court and you can visit the ArtScience Museum which is right outside the mall, as well as get the most amazing views of Singapore city skyline. There are some great restaurants here but what we really enjoyed was eating at the food court and enjoying the light display just in front above the round cordoned off area. We visit Singapore quite often for shopping and sightseeing and use it as a getaway, so we really like to come to this part of the island. With the ArtScience Museum and Gardens by the Bay which are nearby we will continue to visit the Shoppes in the future for shopping and eating and to enjoy the amazing views of Singapore's skyline.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. The suite was beautiful and in keeping with the hotels era. The butler service was very good, the staff through out the hotel were attentive, friendly, polite and helpful. The bed comfortable, a pillow menu allowing for a change if desired. An elegant bathroom. Comfortable chairs and a table on the balcony to look at the garden, was very peaceful. Breakfast in the Tiffin Room was extensive and encompassing both eastern and western food, served promptly in lovely surroundings. Altogether a perfect stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. All the little extras to help us celebrate were much appreciated. The pool area was also a popular spot with us, reminiscent of a by gone era.

Just like the name suggests this mall is more like a link between some of the cities central MRT stations and Big Malls. You can just get off at the MRT station and walk indoors to places like Esplanade Theater, Marina Mall and Suntec City which is convenient specially with kids. The mall has all the usual shop chains and fast food places plus some banks a 7/11 and pharmacies. I wouldn't go out of my way to go here but if your going to one of the places the mall connects to it's helpful.

There's a bunch of stores in here that caters to all types of budgets! I visited this mall mid-afternoon in order to get out from under the hot Singaporean sun and after wandering a bit (it's easy to get lost but there are giant tablet kiosks to help you find your way and give exact step by step directions on how to get where you want to go to), I happened upon a hair dressing school. $6 for shampoo, haircut and dry? Sign me up! The facilities were clean and well maintained and had a very modern feel to it. You have the option of either having a student help you or a graduate (a bit more expensive). Of course with the student the teacher is there to walk around and supervise the progress of each cut. One of the best finds in this mall for sure. They were also setting up a space themed exhibit in the center of the mall with balloons which was pretty darn cool to see. Don't forget to wander outside to the top floors to get that great backdrop of Marina Bay!

"Situated in the Civic District close to historic and tourist sites, Raffles City Shopping Centre is a haven for consumers looking for luxury items. Built on the site of a former school (Raffles Institution), Raffles City is downtown shopping at its finest. The mall has a number of luxury and designer stores such as Omega, Thomas Sabo, Cortefiel and Tommy Hilfiger, among others. Here, you’ll also find big department stores like Marks & Spencer and Robinsons, and fashion chains like Topshop, River Island and Skyla. In fact, Raffles City covers most shopping bases with fashion, books, music, sports, toys, eyewear and beauty all available above the City Hall MRT station, which makes getting here all the more convenient.

I was in Carlton Hotel for my staycation during my birthday on 5th April 2021 and during in the evening I went to Raffles City Shopping Mall in Singapore I decided to reward myself to buy some stuff for myself. I saw Levi's store from outside the mall and I decided to walk in to buy my first jeans. Honestly, I am not a big fan of jeans outfits or apparel but once I walked into Levi's and suddenly I changed my mind and keep telling to myself why not I should try jeans as part of my casual wear. The highlight of the store is the discounted price of Jeans has been placed in front of the entrance and that is the totally make me walk into the store. By a warm welcome and greetings from Mr. Prince - Store Assistant, he totally such a good person for a recommendation, good in product knowledge, and very helpful. After a few jeans that I trying on and looking for some recommendation, he totally gave his opinion to me which one is more suitable for myself. He shared with me the alteration service also available in their store but needs to pick up a few days later. For this kind of wonderful and tremendous service by Prince, I think he deserved to have these compliments words from me. I will definitely recommend this outlet to all my friends and look out to Prince for any assistance. Regards, Dean Mahamud
