About the Property

Originally Singapore's General Post Office, The Fullerton's magnificent Palladian columns have stood watch over the Singapore River since 1928. Its $380 million transformation from civic landmark to luxury hotel preserved the grand Doric columns and soaring atrium. The Fullerton Lighthouse, added to the roof in 1958 and visible 20 miles out to sea, was decommissioned in 1979 and now houses the hotel's Lighthouse Restaurant.
