Where Singapore's historic district meets the city's most modern area, along the Marina Bay waterfront, stands the Fullerton Bay Hotel. Once serving as a post office, this neoclassical building dates back to 1928. Recently renovated by Architect Lee Shee Koeng, it has preserved its monumental Palladian architecture and historical significance while embracing a contemporary luxury concept. The hotel boasts 400 rooms and suites, designed by Hirsch Bedner & Associates, offering the pinnacle of opulence and Asian hospitality. The highlight of the hotel is the Presidential Suite, spanning 152 sqm and featuring a spacious living and dining area, lounge, game room, study, and bedroom, with panoramic views of the sea and city skyline. Clad in fine golden maple wood with rosewood wall panels, marble, and sumptuous textile decorations, the suite also showcases the excellence of Murano glass art with Barovier&Toso creations. The lounge area is framed by two bespoke caramel-colored Samurai table lamps, stately Venetian crystal pieces with a ribbed silhouette. The dining table is illuminated by a refined caramel-colored Rotterdam chandelier, with dark shades, upward-curving arms, an ogival stem, and bobbins crafted using the "rostrato" technique.
