This Neoclassical grand dame is stately yet buzzy. There's constant traffic in the lobby area—it's a popular meeting spot for execs from the surrounding business district, and a regular stop for tourists on the heritage trail (the hotel has been gazetted a national monument). No other hotel in Singapore has a heritage so linked to the country's modern history. Previously called Fullerton Building, it was once the General Post Office and housed various government agencies before it was turned into a hotel in 2001.
