The Fullerton Singapore
Although The Fullerton hotel is fairly new (it opened in 2000), it is a restoration of one of Singapore's oldest, largest and grandest buildings. Built in 1928, its classic Doric columns share the grandeur of Palladian architecture with Singapore's other two great Colonial buildings - the Supreme Court and City Hall. Located in the business district, the hotel is home to 400 rooms and suites with Wi-Fi Internet access, IDD and voicemail, satellite TV, with views over the river, city or harbour. Décor is contemporary and uncluttered with light fabrics and dark wood. The hotel includes a 24-hour financial centre with work stations with high-speed Internet, meeting rooms and teleconferencing. For relaxing, the hotel boasts a 25m (82ft) outdoor infinity pool, fitness centre, Asian Spa, function rooms and a good selection of restaurants and cafés.
