Building. Last December 17, 2015, the building was officially declared as 71st
national monument of Singapore by National Heritage Board. It brings the iconic
hotel building under Monument Preservation Act of the state. With this new
elevated status, Fullerton Hotel
Singapore becomes more interesting and fascinating for foreign tourists who

Architectural and Interior Features
The hotel is situated in 443,400 square feet land
and its wall is about 120 feet from the ground. The architectural design is
Neo-classical with portico in its main entrance, Royal Coat of Arms and
Doriccolonnades on the base area. It was restored from 1998-2000 by 61
architects and numerous numbers of consultants. The restoration converted the
building into a 400-room hotel. The rooms are exclusively-designed by Hirsch
Bedner Associates.
The restoration preserved and rebuilt the original
features of the historical building. Some of the areas you need to see while
staying in this magnificent hotel are the General Post Office Gallery at the
ground floor and the Straits Club Billiard Room. The billiard room remains
without its original wood panels but the gallery now houses the hotel foyer,
bar and a restaurant. You can also ponder on the historic event that happened
in the fourth floor of the hotel. It was the area where Governor of Britain was
informed that the state has decided to surrender to Japanese invaders during
the time of World War II. The room with unique coffered ceiling is now an
exclusive lounge for guests of Fullerton
Hotel Singapore. The historic lighthouse of the building is used as
beverage and food service outlet.
