The Fullerton Singapore

Frommer's Review

Standing guard at the mouth of the Singapore River, The Fullerton's historic edifice holds ground against a backdrop of the city's modern skyline. Originally built in 1928, this squat administrative building at the mouth of the Singapore River once housed the General Post Office. Today it is flanked by the urban skyline, and its classical facade, with Doric columns and tall porticos, looks more mundane than opulent. But designers have done a superb job, restoring Italian marble floors, coffered ceilings, and cornices inside. The courtyard lobby is grand, with skylights above and Courtyard guest room windows lining the inner face of the building. Rooms have been cleverly arranged to fit the original structure, featuring vaulted ceilings and tall windows. Although the architectural style is antique, the rooms are anything but. They feature large writing desks, deluxe stationery kits, flatscreen TVs, PlayStations, and electronic safes big enough to hold your laptop. Big bathrooms have separate bath and shower stalls, mini-StairMasters, and stylish Philippe Starck fixtures. The attentive service here is second to none.

Facilities: 3 restaurants; bar and lobby lounge; outdoor infinity pool w/view of the Singapore River; fitness center w/Jacuzzi, sauna, and steam; spa w/massage and beauty treatments; concierge; limousine service; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; babysitting; same-day laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; executive-level rooms
