We Check in to the Spa at Fullerton Hotel Singapore
By Juliet Kinsman
I always find there to be something soothing about time in Singapore – everything runs so efficiently and service is always so polished. Here in this heritage hotel renowned for its nothing-is-too-much-trouble hospitality, relaxation awaits in particular at the award-winning Fullerton Hotel Singapore Spa.
A handsome 1928-built neoclassical behemoth right by Marina Bay and also the CBD, it was once the General Post Office. When it was reborn as a five-star hotel, it was declared a national monument. The vast high-ceilinged lobby and grand atrium and pose-on-me staircase do little to indicate that a diminutive wellness space awaits upstairs.
Home-brewed ginger tea is the ideal start to every therapy, with every treatment adapted to each guest’s needs — say goodbye to dehydrated skin and gnarled muscles post long-haul flight. In the spa, the intuitive therapists are next level. I particularly liked the paraben-free, all-natural Aromatherapy Associates products which are easy on your skin as well as your eco-conscience, managing to invigorate and tone and plump tired skin without using invasive techniques.
Signature treatments include the Ultimate Aromatherapy Experience, 90-minute Age Repair Facial and a form of reflexology inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Asian Heritage Signature Massage which is an authentic TCM treat in a luxury hotel setting. After a treatment, you could head to the relaxation lounge, sweat out any remaining stresses in the steam and sauna rooms or stroll to the city-view swimming pool area to keep that spa feeling alive from the comfort of a sun lounger.
