It’s not every day that one gets the privilege to stay at a National Monument building. The Fullerton Hotel, built in 1928, was once home to Singapore’s General Post Office, the Exchange Room and Exchange Reference Library, and the prestigious Singapore Club.

In addition, the building has played a pivotal role in Singapore’s rich history for nearly a century.

Currently, The Fullerton Hotel has been transformed into a stunning 400-room heritage hotel, making it the perfect staycation venue for culture vultures. Apart from its excellent service, ideal location, and historical importance, the hotel also offers heritage tours, making your staycation unique and one of a kind.

Here are five reasons why you should book a stay now!

1. Heritage Tours

Who said staycations are meant for just holing up in your room and ordering room service? After a sumptuous breakfast at Town, grab your most comfortable shoes and take in some Singaporean heritage by enjoying unique complimentary heritage tours – The Fullerton Monument Tour, a Maritime Journey Tour, and the self-guided Fullerton Heritage Trail.

The Fullerton Monument Tour lets you discover the rich history behind the hotel’s newly minted National Monument stature and offers exclusive access to preserved areas within the hotel premises. The monument has a great story to tell as The Fullerton Building bore witness to the transformation of Singapore from a colonial outpost to a first-world metropolis.

For those interested in maritime history, The Fullerton Bay Hotel offers a Maritime Journey Tour, which takes guests to Singapore’s historic waterfront that began as a trading post in 1819. The captivating tour uncovers stories of how Singapore’s forefathers first stepped ashore via Clifford Pier.

If you have a knack for going DIY, you will enjoy the self-guided Fullerton Heritage Trail. It showcases the country’s rich heritage and its trail brochure was designed to guide guests to discover the rich history and landmarks in and around the precinct and the neighbouring civic district.

2. Revel In Architectural Grandeur

Take your camera out and snap away at The Fullerton Building’s neoclassical architectural features. The building was built in 1919 to mark the British colony’s centennial celebrations and features fluted Doric colonnades and a lofty portico over the main entrance and trophy designs. The building went into restoration from 1996 to 2000, and most of its special architectural features were retained and restored.
