A Greek temple amid skyscrapers: behind the neoclassical facade and its high-rise tall columns id one of the world’s most monumental luxury hotels. All 400 rooms—including the Presidential Suite with its private lift—show chic, unembellished staging and feature generously proportioned baths designed by Philippe Starck. The view from the veranda and outdoor pool takes in all the city-states postcard images: skyline, harbor and riverfront promenade. Singapore’s emblem, the Merlion—a wate-spouting lion figure—shines here at night.
