Built in 1924, the original Fullerton Building resides in a historic location in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District. Named after Robert Fullerton—the first colonial governor of Singapore—The Fullerton Hotel began life as an ornate post office. The British government originally commissioned the building’s construction to commemorate the colony’s centennial anniversary in 1919. Following an extensive renovation, this eloquent structure reopened as The Fullerton Hotel in 2001. Retaining much of its original features, this luxurious five-star Grande Dame is quite extraordinary for the scale and quality of its restoration. As noted by a Condé Nast Traveler review, The Fullerton Hotel has captured “the personality of a heritage hotel” and “surrounds its guests with a surprisingly refreshing ambiance of peace and tranquility.”
