Photo Essay: The New St. Regis Singapore

While Singapore is thought of as an oasis of efficiency and sterility that operates like a fine-tuned Swiss watch, the new St. Regis Singapore is like a Swiss chocolate that after the first taste, you crave more of. In fact, it’s more like a whole box of chocolates: The first nougat is the luxurious room you are escorted to, that if you are lucky is a suite containing, among other amenities: 3 sinks, 3 flat-screen TVs (one being for use in the tub), and more marble, crystal, and plush fabrics than a French noble would know what to do with. Don’t let the traditional luxury fool you though, this room is also wired: programmed lighting, electronic curtains, and a full ipod-ready entertainment system with Bose speakers. If you can tear yourself from your slice of heaven, there is a great gym, pool, and spa to unwind at. Remember where that gym is to work off any weight you may gain, because every Sunday a brunch like no other occurs in the sumptuous sunroom off of the lobby. You barely have to get up to enjoy the fresh oysters, salmon, and other delicacies, because during your 2 ½ hour experience, the chefs from the hotel’s various restaurants personally bring you their tasty creations including foie gras three ways. To wash it all down there is free flow Moet Chandon. For art lovers, the hotel is home to one of Asia’s finest private collections and oenophiles can sip at Decanter, their tasting bar. For those with money to spare they offer Bentley service to/from the airport. The St. Regis Singapore is a 6 star hotel that just had its grand opening in April, 2008. It is set to become a beacon of refined tranquility and indulgence in a city known for its peace and taste for good living.
