Hotel Bars in Singapore
Singapore's grand hotels hold some of its most decorated bars. The best hotel bars in Singapore start in Orchard at Manhattan in the Conrad Singapore Orchard, which topped Asia's 50 Best Bars two years running, in 2017 and 2018, and ages drinks in the world's first in-hotel rickhouse. Origin Bar at the Shangri-La is No. 43 in the 2026 edition of Asia's 50 Best Bars and reached the Spirited Awards' final four for international hotel bars this year. Writers Bar in the Raffles lobby still pours the Million Dollar Cocktail, and The Other Room at the Marriott Tang Plaza finishes more than 100 spirits in barrels. Manhattan asks for smart casual dress. These are the six we would start with.

ASIA'S 50 BESTSpeakeasyThe Other Room
The Other Room is a speakeasy-style bar hidden behind black velvet drapes on the ground floor of the Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel on Orchard Road. It opened in 2016 with Dario Knox as master bartender, in a Prohibition-era room. Its signature is cask finishing: the team finishes more than 100 spirits in house, in barrels that once held wine, sherry or port, and uses them in timeless classics and bolder house creations. The back bar adds whiskies from around the world and agave spirits, and tapas such as beetroot hummus and ribeye are served through the night. Renowned guest bartenders visit often. It made Asia's 50 Best Bars three times, highest at No. 35 in 2017, and was on the 51-100 list in 2021.
