\"\"<\/a>The recent The South Beach Hotel<\/em> in Singapore is, basically, the perfect combination of luxury and design by the magical hand of Phillipe Starck.<\/p>\n

Located in one of the most famous streets of the city, the Beach Road, the hotel is part of the impressive South Beach Development, a complex, which has offices, stores, restaurants and residences.<\/p>\n

Opened in 2015 and still in Soft Opening<\/em>, being that some parts of the complex are not yet finished.
\nAnd what an honour to get to know the beginning of an hotel that\u2019ll be one of the best in Singapore!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The philosophy of the hotel is to create an H.I.P. environment (Highly Individualised People and Places), and it is for sure being able to perform, with the idea quite present, for instance, in the 43 spaces (Imaginative Social Spaces \u2013 as they call them), spread along the hotel, and that allow us to, individually or in groups, enjoy ourselves or work in peace!<\/p>\n

Besides excelling to be a space where everyone wants to be and where any personality fits, The South Beach<\/em> is also one of the most beautiful and functional hotels I ever met.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Thought by Phillipe Starck\u2019s brilliant mind, the hotel has a design capable of stunning the sleepiest of brains. Each corner is of infinite beauty, each little detail is thought to be functional, allied to the highest sophistication.<\/p>\n

Wandering around The South Beach is the same as enjoying a beautiful museum, and probably much more interesting than many, with pieces exclusively created by the French designer or curated by him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>First Impression<\/strong>
\nProbably one of the most impressive \u201cfirst impressions\u201d I ever had! An imposing entrance presenting us with a Led panel (a giant one) with an artistic installation that delights those arriving, which by itself predicted a great stay.<\/p>\n

Art is present even before entering the hotel, the entrance is sided by a relaxation area, with beautiful furniture and by a gorilla! Yes, a gorilla, a beautiful sculpture that personified this animal so well!<\/p>\n
