Singapore’s colonial-era grand hotels are gorgeous, yes, but one can’t help but feel that there are enough of them already— including the Fullerton Bay’s sister, the iconic Fullerton. So it’s very much to the Fullerton Bay’s credit that it’s not a straight-down-the-line reproduction. It’s every inch a tribute to the Raffles days — that’s Sir Stamford Raffles, not Raffles® Hotels and Resorts — but it’s a contemporary vision, not a historical reconstruction.
It’s the vision of a certain Andre Fu, a Hong Kong–based designer who’s responsible for more than one Far Eastern Tablet hotel already. And sometimes a well-crafted period piece is just more effective than a trip to the archives. Here the materials are familiar — rosewood and latticework figure prominently — as is the color scheme, neutral with a hint of late-afternoon warmth.
But where a decades-old hotel would have to take pains to emphasize its modern elements, to prove it had kept pace with the times, the Fullerton Bay is free to indulge in as much colonial romance as it can handle. And the building’s ground-up provenance means its lines are a bit more sensible, and its comforts perhaps more effortlessly delivered, than might be the case in an antique building — and the hotel’s bay views, it must be said, are even more extraordinary when viewed through modern floor-to-ceiling windows.
The Fullerton Bay’s three restaurants are impressive enough on the plate, and their visual environments are striking as well. Perhaps the most impressive views are to be had from the rooftop pool deck — from here you’ll survey the Singapore waterfront, a vista that seems to stretch back a century.

What I liked:
Great location overlooking the bay - even better than the Marina Bay Sands light show was the spectacle of a thunderstorm rolling in from the sea. Easy access to the transport network while being located just at the edge of the hustle and bustle. The hotel is smaller than most other in its category, making it much more relaxed.
