Arguably the defining hallmark of Singapore’s skyline as well as the city’s center of attention, Marina Bay Sands is an architectural wonder crowned by the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, which belongs to the hotel. Comprising three modern high-rise towers, here you can experience Singapore in style at one of the numerous ultra-chic restaurants, bars, a huge shopping mall and further entertainment venues in the complex – or simply relax and enjoy while floating 57 stories above the city.
The rooms and suites feature floor-to-ceiling windows with breathtaking city and bay views. Be sure to treat yourself to a premium suite that includes butler service and your very own private gym.
