The Best Hotels in Singapore's Marina Bay: A Room With A View
Gazing across the water at Indonesia’s Marina Bay, where shores are lined with soaring buildings—many containing luxury hotels.
Panoramic vistas come with the territory in Singapore’s Marina Bay area, with contemporary structures such as the white lotus-like ArtScience Museum ring the water. Some of the city’s finest hotels are also found in this entertainment, dining, and shopping district—each offering a drone’s-eye view of Singapore’s more modern side. Watching sunset reflections on the iconic high-rises of this inlet in the Singapore Strait is one of Asia’s most memorable sights.
