Thursday, December 16, 2010

SINGAPORE's Fullerton Bay Hotel proves size does not matter as it takes luxury in its ultimate high, featuring luxurious designs and chic comfort.

At a six-storey height, the Fullerton Bay Hotel is seated across Singapore's famous Marina Bay Sands, which dominates the waterfront of Singapore's Central Business District with a hard-to-ignore 55 storey, 2,560-room resort.

The hotel's location and interior designs boasts of Singapore's history. It sits on the waterfront heritage site which saw the arrival of many of Singapore's early settlers. At the same time serving as a reminder of the 21st Century Singapore with its modern glass-encased exterior.

The glass facade of the Hotel was designed by the Singapore-based DP Architects. The diamond-shaped structure stands out against the city skyline as it illuminates above the waters. Guests will enter the Hotel through a 17-meter wide lobby at the historic Clifford Pier.

The hotel features three signature dining destinations designed by Asia's highly sought-after design wunderkind Andre Fu, which include the The Landing Point, Clifford, and the Lantern.

Lounging was beyond blissful at the Lantern, the Hotel's stylish rooftop bar and pool oasis, featuring enthralling panoramic views of the world-famous Singapore skyline.

One advantage of the Fullerton Bay Hotel against the behemoth luxury destination Marina Bay Sands is the great view. Standing from the top of Marina Bay Sands, at the Sands SkyPark, you'd be too high up it's almost scary to look down.

However, standing from the balcony of the Lantern, you'd definitely fall in love with the waterfront view of Singapore with of course Marina Bay Sands standing as the Queen.

The Fullerton Bay Hotel boasts of being a gourmand's sanctuary of elegance and epicurean excellence.

At the Lantern, guests can relish delectable gourmet snacks and tantalizing grilled meats, accompanied with fine champagnes, signature cocktails, wines and beverages whilst watching the world go by with panoramic views.

Set amidst the resplendent skyline of the Marina Bay waterfront, the Clifford is a modern brasserie illuminated by splendid 10-meter high floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sparkling waters of the bay, and guests are greeted by an opulent 800-bottle fine wine library meticulously handpicked from all-over the world.

Elegantly poised alongside an impressive indoor promenade paved in marble mosaics, The Landing Point is the gourmand's lounge du jour. Designed in hues of gold; guests can indulge in sensuous cocktails. With a majestic 13-meter long bar and spacious outdoor terrace, The Landing Point is designed to captivate the sophisticated chic.

The Fullerton Bay Hotel opened July 8 this year, comprising 100 rooms, five individually themed suites and luxurious Presidential Suite, each with magnificent Marina Bay views and exclusive balconies.

The six suites, including the Presidential Suite, are individually themed to reflect the wealth and cultures in Singapore's cosmopolitan population, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, Peranakan, and Colonial; all situated on the upper three storeys of the Hotel.

The suites are also named after the former Governors of the Straits Settlement (Sir Huge Clifford, Sir Shenton Thomas, Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson, Sir John Anderson, and Major General Sir William Orfur Cavenagh), each with bespoke artwork and antiques alongside contemporary pieces that embody the spirit unique to the suites' theme.
