Top 5 Singapore’s Green Hotels for Eco-Aware Travelers like You
Eco-traveling has been on the rise now, which is great for the planet conservation. Choose these Singapore’s green hotels to travel in an eco-friendly way.
Singapore is a small country widely-known for countless reasons. Some of which are the gum-chewing prohibition, the culture of the food-vendor market, the country’s fast development less than 50 years, and many more. In spite of the city-state’s urbanisation, you can still see many green spots there, including green hotels. So, here are the top five of Singapore’s eco-friendly hotels you may book at World Roamer.
Oasia Hotel Downtown
Having been awarded “the Best Tall Building Worldwide”, Oasia Hotel Downtown is indeed a 27-storey skyscraper. The tall hotel building covered with a myriad of green climbing plants stands out in the heart of Singapore’s downtown, in case you’re afraid to miss out on it.
The 4-star hotel’s lobby has no partitions at all, making it spacious enough for a natural draft to exist in the public areas. Every room is also cooled with a greenhouse-gas-free system of water chilling. Meanwhile, you may enjoy doing yoga or meditation on the neat green lawn available on the sky terrace. Don’t forget to swim in the two rooftop swimming pools with a picturesque view of green vines around.
Address: 100 Peck Seah Street, Singapore 079333
Distance from Singapore Changi Airport: about 20.6km or 19-minute drive
Crowne Plaza Changi Airport
Apart from its great reputation as the World’s Best Airport Hotel, Crowne Plaza Changi Airport is also well known for being a green hotel. In fact, the 5-star hotel has also been awarded Singapore Green Hotel Award for the third time in 2017.
The hotel’s contributions to conserve the planet include the use of EcoWiz, the most advanced zero waste solution digesting your food waste. EcoWiz will turn it into the water with the help of microbes. Besides, JemFlo installed in each of the hotel’s restrooms help to save water. Not to mention the soap and linen recycling system to benefit the locals who live around the hotel.
Address: 75 Airport Boulevard (Terminal 3), 819664, Singapore
Distance from Singapore Changi Airport: about 7.9km or 9-minute drive
ParkRoyal on Pickering
Countless refreshing green foliage and small waterfalls on the 5-star hotel building are noticeable from afar. That explains the Asia’s Leading Green Hotel award it has earned recently. There is also a unique, Instagrammable vegetable garden with farm ambience.
In addition to all the beautiful greenery, the hotel applies environmental-friendly practices, such as helping save water by collecting raindrops, monitoring the level of light with photosensors, and using glass windows to reduce electricity usage. Plus, no more plastic disposables used in the whole hotel area.
Address: 3 Upper Pickering Street, Chinatown, 058289, Singapore
Distance from Singapore Changi Airport: about 21km or 22-minute drive
Lloyd’s Inn
Located only 5-minute walk (1.1km) away from the hectic shopping street, Orchard Road, this boutique hotel looks so conveniently homey and full with greenery. The 3-star hotel offers budget-friendly choices despite their generosity in its green practices. Each minimalist room features large windows and an open bathroom to reduce the use of lights and air-conditioner.
Address: 2 Lloyd Road, Singapore 239091
Distance from Singapore Changi Airport: 20.6km or 25-minute drive
Marina Bay Sands
This spectacular hotel is not only luxurious but also eco-friendly.

The hotel’s regenerative lifts also use 40% electricity less than any regular ones.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)
This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.
You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.
Why do this?
- Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
- Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.
The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.
To help you get started, here are a few questions:
- Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
- What topics do you think you’ll write about?
- Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
- If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?
You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.
Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.
When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
