Legacy in the Heart of Marina Bay
Historic Gateway at Marina Bay
The Fullerton Bay Hotel stands on Clifford Pier, which juts out into Marina Bay.
In the early 20th century, this historic site served as the port of entry, welcoming countless immigrants and traders who arrived in Singapore by sea.
After retiring from its role as a working pier in 2006, the site was transformed into The Fullerton Bay Hotel.
Grand Lobby with Original Roof Trusses
The main hotel building was meticulously restored and renovated, preserving the original Clifford Pier structure.
In the grand lobby, the original roof trusses — a striking remnant of the pier’s past—reflect in the polished floor, creating a spectacular, tunnel-like space.
With sophisticated interiors, the lobby now exudes a glamorous and elegant atmosphere, befitting a luxury hotel.
From the corridor on the right (south) side of the main building, guests proceed to the reception in the new wing to check in, and then head to the room.

Attractions and Relaxation
Clifford Pier
After a short rest in the room, it’s time to head out and explore the area. From the north exit of the main building, follow the promenade deck to Merlion Park.
Just ahead at the tip of Clifford Pier, stands a classic trishaw—once a popular mode of transport for locals. The vibrant red body of the trishaw stands out beautifully against the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands.
Nestled among the greenery lining the waterfront, a circular plaque marks the spot where a portion of Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes was scattered from Clifford Pier, commemorating the Indian leader’s legacy.
Merlion Park
Next to Clifford Pier lies Merlion Park, one of Singapore’s top tourist destinations. It offers an unparalleled view of two iconic landmarks side by side — the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.
The quieter morning hours are ideal for crowd-free shots. In the evening, the illuminated Merlion set against the spectacular SPECTRA laser show is a must-see.
The Fullerton Bay Hotel enjoys a prime position next to Merlion Park, offering easy access to the park — morning or night.

Rooftop Pool Escape
After exploring the city, retreat to the hotel for a well-earned break. In Singapore’s tropical heat, nothing beats a refreshing dip in the pool.
The Fullerton Bay Hotel’s pool is located on the rooftop of the new wing.
While the pool is a standard 25m long, the open views create a wonderfully spacious and relaxing atmosphere.
A jacuzzi and terrace seating are also available on the north side.
This urban oasis is the perfect place to unwind and soak up the holiday vibes.
