If you are looking for a Robertson Quay hotel in Singapore, be sure to check out the Riverside Hotel Robertson Quay as it will offer an ideal access to the Singapore River.

This river is now one of the best ways to admire the stunning sky line that Singapore has to offer and is well worth the journey down river.
