Don’t miss this six-mile hike that takes you over a suspended bridge nestled in the treetops.
Whether your travel plans are motivated by an athletic event (the BNP Paribas Women’s Tennis Association championships in October, the marathon in December) or the luxe side of the country showcased in Crazy Rich Asians, it’s worth booking a trip to Singapore this fall.
You can easily spend several days on the island, but if you need to make the most of a quick trip, here’s how.
Where to stay
Check into Fullerton Bay, a posh hotel built on stilts over Marina Bay with a rooftop pool and spacious rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows and balconies. The hotel bar is an after-hours hot spot for locals while the lobby is welcoming and well-lit with gilded chandeliers and lanterns.
Or book a room at Vagabond Club, designed by Jacques Garcia (his résumé includes five-star hotels like La Mamounia in Marrakesh). The boutique hotel—themed after Parisian salons—is dimly-lit, moody, and sexy, dressed in various shades of velvet. Rooms are decorated with framed art and paintings as well as hand-painted screens.
