The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore [Hotel Review]

THIS ISLAND LIFE | The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore

Any hotel that serves fresh coconuts and icy cold fragrance-infused towels while I wait for my room to be ready is a friend for life. I arrived at The Fullerton Hotel in Singapore with my blogger buddy James from The Versatile Gent after an epic three days at sea with Royal Caribbean. We were hungover, operating on two-hours sleep, in need of breakfast and melting from the intense humidity – not an ideal combination. It was almost five hours until check-in time, so it seemed inevitable that we’d need to fend for ourselves until our room was ready. But within a few minutes of checking in, we were shown to The Straits Club for a delicious breakfast that included a wagyu beef and poached egg concoction, strong coffee and champagne.

With the room still 20 minutes off being ready, we made our way down to the pool for a change of scenery. Before I could even ask to see the menu a fresh coconut was placed in my hand and I was served with an icy cold fragrance-infused towel. This is how you do island life in the middle of the city.
