What we love the most about Citadines Raffles Place Singapore
1. Urban Meets Greenery
Located within the CapitaSpring building, known for its green architectural design, lush sky gardens and a rooftop oasis, your stay at Citadines Raffles Place Singapore will be a one-of-a-kind experience.
Upon stepping out of the lift on level 17, just one level above the lobby, you will be greeted by Green Oasis’s lush vertical greenery that defines this eco-friendly development, perfect for unwinding after a long day.
Head your way up to the Sky Garden at level 51 where you will get a bird’s-eye city view of Singapore’s skyline, featuring popular buildings like Marina Bay Sands, Singapore Flyer, Gardens by the Bay, Art Science Museum, and more.

2. Commitment to sustainability
Dedicated to minimizing its environmental impact, the serviced apartment embraces a range of innovative sustainability practices. As a part of Ascott’s Go Green Initiative, you can even earn additional Ascott Star Rewards (ASR) points if you opt out of housekeeping service via the Discover ASR mobile app.
To reduce single-use plastic waste, a reusable water jug is available in the room for the guests to refill drinking water at dispensers located at the lift lobbies on each floor. Toiletries and bathroom amenities are also refillable, with reduced packaging.
There also isn’t a room-card holder to turn on or off the lights and appliances in the room. Instead, the smart in-room sensors automatically turn off lights and appliances after 20 minutes of inactivity, helping to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
3. Amenities ideal for a long-stay
Citadines Raffles Place Singapore isn’t just about great rooms—it also offers solid facilities that enhance the overall experience.

The well-equipped 24-hour gym allows you to keep up with your fitness routine anytime, even while traveling. Prefer to work out outdoors? The outdoor fitness park consists of a 400-metre (1312.34-foot) jogging track, a 50-metre (164.04-foot) sprint track, and a yoga deck.
The serviced apartment also features a launderette and parcel park, for the convenience of long-stay guests in keeping their clothes clean and fresh, and not having to miss out on important and urgent mails.
4. Curated programmes and benefits for guests
Citadines’ guests get to enjoy a wide variety of programs and activities to lead a well-balanced lifestyle through Activ∞ (pronounced as ‘activate’) which helps guests to explore the neighbourhood through digital guides and fun residents’ programmes, such as For the Love of Coffee, which shares Citadines’ love for coffee through in-house programmes, workshops and coffee-related experiences like a coffee art painting.
