I’ve included a short note on why each is VIP-friendly and one-line tips for arranging a VIP stay. (If you want, I can check current availability, suites, or rates for specific dates.)

How to secure a true VIP experience (quick checklist)
- Book a suite or private villa (presidential/pool villa/entire villa buyout for max privacy).
- Request dedicated butler and named concierge contact before arrival.
- Arrange private airport transfers (limousine, private jet handling, or helicopter where applicable) and a secure/ discrete arrival route.
- Ask hotels about private check-in, private elevators, and secure floors.
- Pre-book restaurants, private dining rooms, meeting rooms, and any AV/security needs.
- Use a reputable luxury travel concierge or DMC (destination management company) to handle protocol, security liaisons, and last-mile logistics.
If you want, I can:
- Narrow the list by neighborhood (Marina Bay vs Sentosa vs Orchard), budget, or purpose (private vacation, diplomatic visit, corporate delegation, or media/celebrity stay).
- Check current suite availability and approximate rates for a specific date range.
Which of the above matters most to you — central city access, absolute privacy (Sentosa), or maximum in‑hotel amenities for events?
