The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore
Rating: 5 star
Location: 80 Collyer Quay, Singapore 049326
Phone: (65) 6333 8388
Website: The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore
Starting from: S$532
From the road, you’re only able to get brief glimpses of this waterfront property, making it appear to be almost hidden. It’s not until you’re in the extravagant atrium do you see what has been hidden away.
With 98 rooms, there isn’t a feeling of being overcrowded or like you’re staying in a shopping mall.
Rooms and suites have varying views from the city to the marina, but one of the more notable rooms is the Premier Bay View Room With Jacuzzi; as the name would suggest, the room has its very own private jacuzzi along with views over the bay.
The rooftop pool is a decent size where you could actually get some laps in when it’s not too busy; otherwise, it’s a nice area to sit and relax or just float around. As for the fitness center, it’s on the small side and probably the one thing that lets the hotel down a little.

It’s hard to comprehend the sheer enormity of the Marina Bay Sands Singapore; it’s big, like really big. Looking more like a hotel from Las Vegas or something from Dubai, this three-tower hotel is connected by what’s called the SkyPark. The hotel has over 2,500 rooms making the experience feel less intimate than other 5-star accommodations in Singapore.
Views here vary from good, great and spectacular, the city view being one of the most popular and perhaps most awe-inspiring. Deluxe room sizes start from 30 square meters, compared to the lavish Chairman Suite, measuring 600 square meters.
Modern rooms with calming neutral colors are used. Rooms and bathrooms feel luxurious but nothing over the top unless you stay in one of the higher-end suites where there’s an extra level of refinement.
With one of the most impressive infinity pools in Singapore, it’s hard not to rave about it; the size, design, view, and location combine to make it pretty spectacular. With all that impressiveness, the pool does get busy, so be prepared and don’t be scared to ask staff when the quieter times are.
Banyan Tree Fitness Club has enough equipment for full-body workouts, weight machines for the lower and upper body, plus a good range of dumbbells. Plenty of cardio machines, especially treadmills, all with a perfect view of the city.
