The lively financial epicentre of Singapore, the Central Business District or CBD affords travellers a chance to experience life in one of the most modern cities in Asia. Located along the banks of the Singapore River, this metropolitan area of the city is home to main commercial and financial districts such as River Valley, Downtown Core, Orchard and Marina East.

Centred around Raffles Place, the CBD boasts of several imposing skyscrapers that dominate the city skyline and offers easy transport options by way of the many Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) stations that can be found here. Situated in the Boat Quay area, the United Overseas Bank Plaza with its twin towers is one of the most impressive buildings in the city. Another notable architectural structure is the Sail at Marina Bay, while one will find the Battery Road and Cecil Street areas, home to many skyscrapers as well.

The Central Business District also has plenty of attractions worth visiting. Apart from soaking up the sights and sounds along Robinson Road and Shenton Way, which are the area’s two main roads, one can also explore Clifford Pier with its harbour cruise tours, Lau Pa Sat and outdoor dining options and Marina Bay which is being developed into an exclusive resort. Other attractions in and around the CBD include Merlion Park, Esplanade Park, the Fuk Tak Chi Museum, the Peranakan Museum and the Asian Civilisations Museum which is housed in a historic colonial building.

Ideal for those seeking to conduct business or host meetings in the city, Studio M Hotel Singapore is conveniently located just minutes away from the Central Business District.
