\"fullerton4\"<\/a>The iconic building of The Fullerton Hotel*\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

After the most contemporary and modern side of Singapore, we decided to go into a more classical experience, not forgetting luxury, obviously.<\/p>\n

We then left to a short, but memorable, stay at The Fullerton Hotel<\/em>. Its strategic location next to the start of the river occupies the space where once was the Fullerton Fort<\/em> and where later, in 1928, was born the building we nowadays know as The Fullerton Building<\/em>, the most imposing building from that time in Singapore, with its neoclassical architecture of colonial influence.<\/p>\n

The space was home of the former post office, the government offices headquarters, clubs and its square was stage, in the 50’s, to some of the most important political campaigns that led to Singapore’s independence, until in 2001, and after a\u00a0$400 million restructuring, the building opened as one of the most iconic hotels in town.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the contruction of the hotel didn’t dissociate the space of its history, keeping the entire design of the building and most of its imposing interior structures, where giant columns and luxurious marbles are kings. So, walking through the different spaces of the hotel is not only about enjoying the perks of a 5 star hotel, but also of a museum that showcases some of the most important moments of Singapore’s history.<\/p>\n

First Impression\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>
\nThe first impression started right on the luxurious car and the nice driver that drove us to the hotel. At our arrival we were received by some elements of the reception team who accompanied us directly to our room, passing through the elegant and monumental lobby and interior patio.<\/p>\n

If doubts existed about the splendour of The Fullerton<\/em>, they immediatly disappeared!<\/p>\n

The noble materials used in the finishing touches, the natural light, the contrast between the contemporay art pieces decorating the space and the amazing floral arrangements left me completely surrendered. One of the greatest hotels in Singapore!<\/p>\n
