The Fullerton Singapore has announced that the hotel has made it to the Conde Nast Traveler's sixth annual 2002 Hot List of the world's top new hotels. This was highlighted in the May issue of the magazine.
The Fullerton Singapore is the only hotel in Singapore to join the ranks of the list of 52 best new hotels in the world, having been selected by travelers and travel writers based on great design, superb service, ambience and overall hospitality experience.
The Fullerton also received outstanding review in the May 2002 issue of Architectural Digest that featured a five-page story on the hotel.
In July 2001, The Fullerton received the Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Award, Singapore's highest honour recognizing contributions
towards the protection and restoration of Singapore's built heritage.
Representing the height of Palladian architecture in Singapore with its distinguished Doric columns, coffered ceilings and cornices, The Fullerton was commissioned as part of Singapore's centennial celebrations in 1919. Completed in 1928, it stood as the city's largest building at the time.
Once home to the General Post Office, Singapore Town Club and the Chamber of Commerce (all of which played a pivotal role in the history of Singapore), The Fullerton is now a luxury hotel with 400 contemporary style rooms and suites. Each room is linked to the digital world with broadband
internet access and some of the rooms and suites overlook into the river promenade or Marina Bay.
The Fullerton is well positioned in the heart of the Civic District, lying in the forefront of Raffles Place, Singapore's financial and business district. It is within walking distance to the cultural centres of Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, the Asian Civilisations Museum and the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay as well as Boat Quay, one of Singapore's most popular dining and entertainment belt. The Merlion, Singapore's national icon is located just across from The Fullerton at One Fullerton, a waterfront dining and entertainment complex, linked to the hotel via an underground
travellator. |
