Lonely Planet review

This dazzling hotel is sequestered in a huge neoclassical structure that was built in 1928 and (believe it or not) once housed the city's main post office. Specialising in sumptuousness and offering every imaginable mod con, this is the city's grandest hotel address.

The Fullerton has the distinction of being one of Singapore's most magnificent pieces of colonial architecture. The foyer introduces you to what makes this place so special: it is magically surrounded by facades seemingly borrowed from a European streetscape, with a sub-fountain pool filled with enormous, luck-giving koi. Treat yourself to a water-view room for amazing views of the city (the Armani-beige rooms overlooking the inner atrium are also lovely). Spend a bit extra to gain access to the hotel's private Straits Club and upgrade to river- or marina-view rooms, all of which are stunning. Though easily as elegant as the famed Raffles, the Fullerton is a bit less restrictive when it comes to welcoming casually dressed tourists. For the complete Fullerton experience join the Straits Club, making yourself comfortable in the elegant reading room and around the well-stocked bar.
