Overview
The Fullerton Hotel is Singapore’s
latest masterpiece of simplicity, comfort and elegance. Transformed from
the Fullerton building which was built in 1928, its rich heritage, neo-classical
architecture and strategic location make it an inspiration to all, in the
heart of Singapore. The Fullerton Singapore’s prime location in the heart
of the Civic District is in tandem with its rich history. Lying at the
forefront of Raffles Place, Singapore’s financial and business district,
it also enjoys close proximity to the cultural venues of Victoria Theatre
and Concert Hall, The Esplanade – Theatres On The Bay and the Asian Civilisations
Museum.
Its History
The Fullerton Building, built in
1928, begins a new chapter in its illustrious history, with its restoration
into Singapore's landmark hotel - The Fullerton Singapore. The historic
significance and classic architecture make the building eminently suited
for a grand hotel.
With its distinguished Doric columns
and monumental porte cocheres, The Fullerton Singapore represents the height
of Palladian architecture in Singapore. The two other buildings in the
city that share the same architectural grandeur are the City Hall and the
Supreme Court.
In its heyday, this historic landmark
enjoyed a strategic location at the mouth of the bustling Singapore River,
making it the focal point of commercial activities.
The Fullerton Building housed a number
of notable occupants, such as the General Post Office, The Exchange, The
Chamber of Commerce and The Singapore Club, all of which played important
economic roles in ensuring that Singapore remained the trading hub in South-east
Asia at the time.
More recent occupants were the Singapore
Post, the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore, and a branch of the POSBank.
