The Property — The Infinity
The Infinity is a clean, no-frills 3-star hotel on Jalan Besar, about 15 minutes by MRT from Marina Bay. The lobby is compact and functional, with a small sitting area and a 24-hour front desk. It suits budget-conscious travellers who want a reliable base for exploring Singapore, not a resort-style stay. The USP is its location: close to Little India and the city centre, with decent value during peak periods.
Chronicles of Singapore
Singapore was founded as a British trading post by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, quickly growing into a major port. Colonial architecture from the 19th and early 20th centuries – like the Raffles Hotel and shophouses – sits alongside futuristic glass towers along the Marina Bay waterfront. After independence in 1965, the city-state reinvented itself as a global financial hub. Today, its identity is a blend of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western influences, visible in its food, festivals and urban planning.
Best Time to Visit
Full Singapore guide →Best months
February and March offer the best combination: lower rainfall (around 100mm monthly), moderate humidity and fewer crowds than December. July is also good for clear skies but can be busy with the Great Singapore Sale.
Peak / festival surge
December and January are peak due to school holidays and Christmas/New Year celebrations. Hotel prices can rise 30-50%. The Singapore Grand Prix in September also spikes prices in the Marina Bay area.
Budget shoulder season
April and May are shoulder months: less rain than the northeast monsoon, lower prices than peak, and still manageable humidity. Crowds thin out after Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb).
Weather & packing
Singapore is 1 degree north of the equator, so it's hot and humid year-round with sudden tropical downpours. Pack lightweight cotton clothing, a compact umbrella or rain jacket, and comfortable walking shoes – flip-flops won't cut it for city walking.
Live City Briefing — Singapore
- The MRT Circle Line Stage 6 is expected to open in 2026, with new stations at Keppel and Cantonment, improving access to the southern waterfront.

- Changi Airport Terminal 2 is fully operational again since late 2025 after its upgrading, with new retail and lounge spaces.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to The Infinity, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on floors 6 through 9, facing the park side (away from West Coast Park Road). These middle floors give you a good park view while keeping you above any street-level bustle.
Rooms to avoid
Steer clear of rooms on floor 2 or lower (directly above the lobby or restaurant if there is one) as these can pick up kitchen and check-in noise. Also avoid rooms ending in '01' or '02' if they are near the lift shaft – the lift motor hum can be audible at night.
Best views
Rooms on the park-facing side (south/south-west) look out over West Coast Park greenery and the coast beyond – a decent green view for a 3-star city hotel. The opposite side faces the road and neighbouring blocks.
Quietest floors
Floors 5 through 9 are your quietest bet, being far enough above the street to mute traffic on West Coast Park Road, but below any rooftop plant or mechanical noise.
🔊 Noise notes
West Coast Park Road carries traffic all day, but it's a secondary road so noise drops after 10pm. There's also the occasional siren from the Ayer Rajah Expressway which runs about 500m north. Ground-floor rooms near the lobby might hear check-in chatter and luggage wheels.
Insider tips
1. The hotel has limited parking – get there before 7pm to snag a space, or use the public car park at West Coast Park (a 3-minute walk). 2. At check-in, ask for a park-facing room on floor 6 or higher – worth a smile and a polite request.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
