After spending 4 relaxing nights at ibis Singapore on Bencoolen, I decided to experience another Accor property – Mercure Singapore on Tyrwhitt – for a 2-night stay. Located in one of Singapore’s most vibrant neighborhoods, this hotel blends heritage charm, modern design, and great value for money, making it an excellent choice for both leisure and business travelers.
📍 Location & Accessibility
Mercure Singapore on Tyrwhitt enjoys a prime location in the Lavender district, close to cultural landmarks like Little India, Haji Lane, and Arab Street. The nearest MRT station is Bendemeer, just about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, providing seamless connectivity to key attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, Orchard Road, and Sentosa Island.
The area surrounding the hotel is lively yet peaceful, with plenty of cafes, local eateries, and convenience stores. For vegetarians, there’s a hawker center just 5 minutes away offering excellent Indian food options—a blessing after several days of struggling to find vegetarian meals in Singapore!
🏨 Check-in Experience & Room Review
The check-in process was smooth and professional, reflecting Accor’s signature hospitality. I stayed in a Classic Room, which was cozy and compact but thoughtfully designed with every essential amenity in place.
One standout feature of the room was the air purifier, a rare and impressive addition that ensured a refreshing and allergen-free environment. The room cleanliness was impeccable, and the entire property was well-maintained, creating a comfortable stay experience.
🍹 Dining & Complimentary Drinks Experience
After settling in, we visited the in-house restaurant located at the lobby level for complimentary welcome drinks. There was a slight confusion regarding the vouchers, as the staff initially offered 2 drinks instead of 3, even though the Accor app showed 3 vouchers. After politely explaining that we were 2 adults and 1 child, the staff verified the details, took pictures of the vouchers, and graciously honored all 3 drinks.
It was a small hiccup handled professionally, and we appreciated their willingness to resolve it promptly.
🏊♂️ Rooftop Pool & Amenities
The rooftop pool at Mercure Singapore on Tyrwhitt is one of the hotel’s highlights. It offers beautiful views of the Tyrwhitt area, with comfortable lounge seating perfect for evening relaxation. Whether you’re taking a refreshing dip or simply unwinding after a day of sightseeing, the pool area is a serene retreat above the city buzz.
The hotel also features a well-equipped fitness center and sustainable operations, aligning with Accor’s global commitment to eco-friendly hospitality.
🎢 Shuttle Service to Universal Studios Singapore
A pleasant surprise was the complimentary shuttle service to Universal Studios Singapore, which is an excellent perk for families. Although we had already visited Universal Studios earlier in the trip, it’s a thoughtful feature for guests who want a hassle-free commute to one of Singapore’s top attractions.
