Singapore, though land-scarce, is not short of mega-opulent hotels with world-class facilities. It helps that most developers were given the green light to restore heritage buildings or erect shiny-new towering accommodations where literally the sky is the limit. Well-heeled explorers and high-ranking officials from all over the world continue to choose this tiny nation to meet, explore, stay and hibernate, so hoteliers know that in order to attract these affluent guests, they must create the ultimate residence away from home for those who seek rarefied luxury.
And while the world will be watching with bated breath as the meeting of the century between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un unfolds at Capella Singapore next week, many are wondering where the two heads of state will lay their heads at night. We’re thinking maybe at one of these spacious villas or prestigious presidential suites in Singapore, all more than 150 sq m in size.
