A converted 1928 neoclassical building on the mouth of the Singapore River — the Fullerton was originally the General Post Office and the Exchange building; its transformation into a luxury hotel preserves the original soaring atrium and Corinthian columns while delivering contemporary five-star amenities. The Lighthouse restaurant occupies the original lighthouse room at the top. Steps from the Marina Bay waterfront and the Merlion. Forbes Four-Star; consistently on CNT and T+L best-Singapore lists.
Why We Chose It
A 400-room heritage landmark in the former General Post Office building from 1928, overlooking Marina Bay. The Straits Bar occupies the original post office courtyard, and the neoclassical architecture is among Singapore’s most impressive. A national monument with luxury hotel standards — history and hospitality in equal measure.
