Overview of Furama RiverFront
Furama RiverFront has stood at 405 Havelock Road since 1972, according to the built-year field on its Traveloka listing, and the same data records its most recent renovation in 2019. That is more than half a century at one address, and the Furama group itself describes the property on its official website as its flagship hotel. The building rises 19 floors and holds 615 rooms, so this is a large, full-service property rather than a boutique stay.
The official site positions Furama RiverFront as a family-friendly four-star hotel that offers "a respite from the hustle and bustle" while acting as a springboard for exploring Singapore. Traveloka lists it as a 4-star hotel, and the property is tagged in Traveloka's kids-friendly hotel curation for Singapore, which matches the hotel's own emphasis on themed rooms, family rooms and play spaces for children.
Sustainability is another point that sets it apart. The hotel's website states that it holds GSTC Hotel Certification from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council and the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy award, credentials that matter to companies and travellers who track the footprint of their stays.
Room Types at Furama RiverFront
The hotel's official rooms page lists a long ladder of categories, from straightforward doubles to themed suites for families. The categories and bed types below come from that page; the exact rooms on sale, their occupancy limits and per-room amenities for your dates appear on the Traveloka booking page when you search.
Superior and Deluxe
The Superior Room comes with a queen bed and is described by the hotel as offering comfort and convenience away from home. The Deluxe Room has a king bed and, in the hotel's words, "generous space for mobility or additional bed requirements", which makes it a practical pick if you expect to request an extra bed. A separate Deluxe Tropical category, also with a king bed, is described as a minimalistic room for a fuss-free stay and was refurbished in 2020, according to the official site.
Studio Queen and Studio Classic
The two Studio categories take a more contemporary approach. Studio Queen is described as a cosy room built around an ultra-comfy bed, a wide-screen Smart TV and a personal digital concierge. Studio Classic is presented as an upsized version of the Studio Queen, with a queen bed plus an extra pull-out bed, which can suit a small family or friends sharing.
Executive Club and Courtyard Club
Executive Club rooms have a king bed and, per the hotel, premium amenities and extra details for a more memorable stay. The Courtyard Club room, also with a king bed, stands out for its outdoor green terrace with a water feature and direct pool access; the hotel pitches it at couples and business travellers who want an alfresco corner of their own.
Family Room and Premier Family Room
The Family Room is fitted with two queen beds and special amenities for children aged 12 and below, along with children-friendly furniture. The Premier Family Room goes further, with extra bed space in the form of bunk beds, a large bathroom and kids' amenities, according to the official description.
Theme Room, Theme Suite and Theme Courtyard Club
Themed accommodation is a signature of Furama RiverFront. The Theme Room offers four different themes, while the Theme Courtyard Club features a different theme in each room. The Theme Suite is listed by the hotel at 56 square metres with two separate bedrooms and kids-friendly amenities, making it the largest family-oriented option with a confirmed size.
Executive Suite and Executive Family Suite
The Executive Suite has a king bed and a separate seating area with a lounge and a generous LCD TV that partitions the bedroom from the living space. The Executive Family Suite, also with a king bed, is described as a sanctuary with dark wood furnishings and a soft colour palette. At property level, Traveloka's in-room facilities list includes a desk, hairdryer, in-room safe, shower and TV; check each room description on the listing for the exact features of the category you choose.
Facilities and Amenities
For a hotel of this size, the facility list is extensive, and the official website adds a number of on-site partner venues that most city hotels do not have.

Location and Getting There

Public transport is the hotel's strongest location card. The official website says the hotel is only a five-minute walk from Havelock MRT Station, and from Exit 5 it is about a two-minute walk after crossing Outram Road. The hotel also notes that Orchard Road is two stops away and Outram Park MRT one stop, with onward connections towards Changi Airport.

Furama RiverFront brings together themed rooms, a dedicated Theme Suite with two bedrooms, Family Rooms with two queen beds, a kids play area, a nursery room and an indoor playground in an adjoining annex.
