Picolo recommends · Hotel in Singapore, Southeast Asia
The Fullerton Bay Hotel
Glass walls at the very edge of the quay, so the bay fills your window and the skyline lights up across the water at night.
The hotel stands so close to the water that the bay seems to start at the window. In the evening the towers across Marina Bay light up one by one, and the nightly light show plays out in front of the glass.
Up top, the rooftop pool and bar look straight across the bay. Downstairs, the waterfront promenade leads you to the Merlion, the half-lion, half-fish statue that has become the city’s mascot, and on towards the Fullerton and the river.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose The Fullerton Bay Hotel

It is a small hotel with high rates, and the rooftop bar draws a crowd from outside on busy evenings. Travellers who want space and quiet over a view may prefer the bigger hotels nearby.
