Any recommendations for shabbos friendly hotels near the shul (closer the better but willing to walk a bit if necessary)? I see many options, but so hard to tell nowadays regarding easy stairwell access (don’t mind walking a few flights if necessary), no sensors, manual doors to get into building (I’m fine using a magnet on the room door to avoid electronic key issues), ability to leave room lights/AC on. Willing to sacrifice on cost/points availability and quality (of course prefer as nice and clean as possible) for being shabbos friendly. Thanks!
did you get any info on this?

I havent seen many specific shabbos recommendations. Dan’s DDMS report mentioned fairmont which seemed like an ok shabbos option. Earlier in this forum, Hilton garden inn was mentioned as possibility and andaz/JW Marriott seem like definitely NOT good for shabbos. I think intercontinental Singapore heritage wing rooms might work well based on online reviews/pics.

I just spent shabbos in Singapore with a baby and there wasn't to much information here regarding that so figured id share.

there is a hotel back to back with chabad called 30 Bencoolen the walk to chabad is about two minutes you can go right to the left side of the  hotel and it leads up to the main entrance of chabad. (a room costs about 150$ per a night) its clean and very good staff definitely does the job for shabbos. the doors are electric but the workers and the porter at the front desk know about shabbos so they said just wait in front of the big sliding doors and well see you and come open it. there is a staircase that can take you directly to your room. the lowest floor is 5 however its not hard steps and we requested the lowest floor so we were on floor five. regarding walking the stroller over we called the rebitzen beforehand and she said she doesn't really help out with that but she gave us the manager of the chabad restaurant number and said to speak to her, she wasn't really responsive before we came however we went over on Friday and she said if we pay one of the waitresses 10$ per a time she will walk it back and pick us up. so we when we came before shabbos we came with 60$ and she showed us the waitress who was super exited to do it for us ( she probably gets that money in a few days hard work) we made up times with her when to bring us back and when to pick us up and everything worked out perfectly. ill attach the managers number who set us up with the waitress.

Shabbos at chabad was very nice we met a lot of visitors as well as the locals. the locals all eat together at chabad shabbos day. the food was very good for a shabbos at chabad. honestly from the best I've been at. both rabbis are super friendly and very welcoming. if your vacationing or traveling for business in Asia this is a place to be for shabbos.
