Fullerton Hotel Singapore (The)

Description:

• The historic Fullerton, which rivals Raffles in luxury and architecture, is regularly voted one of Asia's top hotels. Superb views in almost every direction include the Singapore River and historic district, the city skyline, and the harbor. Built in 1928 as the General Post Office, its location, immense size, and classical Doric columns are testament to its vital role in the colonial government. The restoration and hotel conversion have been done beautifully, with lofty, elegant public spaces and guest rooms cleverly arranged to fit the original structure. Rooms are oases of comfort, stylish and contemporary with flatscreen TVs, PlayStations, large desks, and Philippe Starck fittings in the enormous bathrooms. Facilities are excellent, too, with a state-of-the-art gym and spa and an infinity pool that overlooks the river. Standards of service are second to none. A range of restaurants offer fine dining, sophisticated bars, and a location that's perfect for business and pleasure.

  Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar and lobby lounge; outdoor infinity pool w/view of the Singapore River; health club w/Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam; spa w/massage and beauty treatments; concierge; airport transfers; room service; babysitting; smoke-free rooms; executive-level rooms
