Score one for truth in advertising: the New Majestic is new, converted from a classic ‘20s building (once the just plain Majestic hotel) by Singapore’s DP Architects, and is indeed majestic, its soaring spaces and cozy bedrooms designed in a sort of modern ironic high style by Ministry of Design principal Colin Seah. It’s grand and glossy, to be sure, and nothing if not playful — the clockwork-orange white lobby floor sits beneath a ripped-out unfinished ceiling, and diners in the hotel’s modern-Cantonese restaurant look up through porthole windows through the floor of the rooftop swimming pool.

The simplest rooms are chic and serene, with teakwood floors and mosaic-tile bathrooms. Other rooms turn up the visual volume, with mural-painted walls and novel effects like levitating beds and see-through aquarium tubs. And the five concept pull out all the stops — each decorated by one of Singapore’s top creative minds, they’re over the top in the best possible way, just about as far from the typical hotel room as it’s possible to get.

And unlike some high-design boutiques, this one is a class act from bottom to top. The collection of chairs in the lobby is like something from a design museum, and the rooms, for all their flash, are luxurious as well — a fortune must have gone into these beds, and each room comes with flat-screen televisions, some viewable from pairs of deep freestanding copper bathtubs.
