The M Hotel is a luxury hotel located 25 kilometers from Changi International Airport. Located in the central business district near many government buildings and financial institutions, this hotel was formerly known as the Copthorne Harbour View Hotel. After a complete renovation it was re-opened in 2002 as the M Hotel. Describing itself as a "New Generation" business hotel, the M is tasteful, but not lavish. The hotel has an ultra-contemporary style that is most commonly associated with smaller boutique hotels. The check-in process at the M Hotel is a civilized "sit-down" affair. The M Hotel's professed objective is to offer their business travel guests everything that they need, while omitting everything that they don't need. The guest rooms at the M are nothing short of deluxe. Each room is tastefully furnished in a sleek, contemporary décor and comfortably furnished. The rooms are appointed with a large work desk to suit the business traveler and equipped with the technological amenities they require. All rooms offer a view of the harbor or the city. For onsite dining and relaxation the hotel has two restaurants, a buffet, a specialty tea café and a bar. For recreation, the M Hotel offers guests an outdoor swimming pool and a gymnasium. The M Hotel is convenient to shopping, dining and entertainment venues.
