Ultra cosmopolitan, highly cultured and incredibly varied, Singapore has long been regaled as one of Asia's most multi-faceted cities, and no place showcases that more than Fairmont Singapore, located in the City Hall district right above the Raffles City Shopping Mall.
Sure, you'll find the standard amenities of any Fairmont at this Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel — like exemplary service, luxury accommodations and a vast collection of restaurants and bars — but you'll also find a Singaporean charm that makes this location unique.
The lobby features a large white bubble chandelier that encompasses nearly half of the ceiling, and the check-in desk is illuminated by a large and colorful abstract painting. There's also a peaceful bubbling waterfall and a small flower garden off the entrance for a touch of Zen.
Plus, with 12 restaurants and bars, a full-service spa and fitness center, a pool and more, there aren't many reasons to leave your sumptuous Singapore perch.
