Preferred Hotel to open Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore

July opening of 100-room waterfront hotel will reflect the wealth of cultures in Singapore's cosmopolitan population.

Preferred Hotels & Resorts, a brand of Preferred Hotel Group and a collection of more than 200 of the world's most desirable destinations, is pleased to announce its newest member in Singapore – The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore.

The much anticipated July opening of the 100-room The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore will mark the hotel as the city's first and only waterfront hotel. Seated on Marina Bay's prime waterfront location in the Central Business District and the historic Arts and Cultural precinct, the hotel will offer impeccable service and hospitality. LCL Architects, the group behind the hotel's inspiring glass facade, is also responsible for the creation of the luxury hotel rooms, while the arrival experience and restaurants are the latest projects by design wunderkind, Andre Fu. Guests will enter the hotel through a 17-metre-wide lobby at the historic Clifford Pier, an important heritage site that saw the arrival of many of Singapore's early settlers. The hotel's exquisite interior designs are richly-steeped in Singapore's illustrious history; Fu used vintage nautical maps and commissioned contemporary art that reflects the celebration of heritage and modernity in the Lion City, according to a Preferred Hotel report.

Each of the hotel's six suites – including a Presidential Suite – are individually themed to reflect the wealth of cultures in Singapore's cosmopolitan population, including Chinese, Malay, Indian, Peranakan, and Colonial. Named after the ex-governors of the Straits Settlement, each features magnificent Marina Bay views from its balconies and is adorned with custom artwork and antiques alongside contemporary pieces.

The hotel's trio of culinary experiences includes the signature restaurants of Clifford, The Landing Point, and Lantern. Clifford, a modern brasserie, is illuminated by splendid 10-metre-high floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the bay. Guests are greeted by an opulent 800-bottle fine wine library and vintage furnishings in warm gray, burnt orange, and dark aubergine set against ivory French paneling and herringbone oak floors. With a majestic 13-metre-long bar and spacious outdoor terrace, The Landing Point is the hotel's sophisticated lounge. Lantern is a stylish rooftop bar, surrounding the hotel's 25-metre rooftop swimming pool with panoramic views of the waterfront, the Singapore skyline, and sunset.

"This new hotel will undoubtedly be Singapore's latest luxury design hot spot and will join its renowned award-winning sister property, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, as another iconic hotel in Asia's global city," said Mark Simmons, area managing director – Asia, Preferred Hotel Group. "Preferred Hotel Group is excited to have The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore as one of our exclusive partners to accommodate our distinguished group of global luxury clients."

"Catering to the Preferred Hotel and Resorts' discerning travellers – especially the well-heeled jetsetters and sophisticated chic – The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore embodies and sets the tone for an indulgent experience," said Giovanni Viterale, general manager of The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore, The Fullerton Hotel Singapore, and The Fullerton Heritage. "The ideal location of the hotel alongside the sparkling waterfront makes it a perfect destination for business, leisure, and gourmands alike."
