The Landing Point at Fullerton Bay Hotel
The Fullerton Bay Hotel enjoys a prime waterfront location in the heart of Marina Bay, right next to Merlion Park.
For those travelling by MRT, the hotel is just an 8-minute walk from Raffles Place station.
Stepping into the hotel, guests are greeted by a grand lobby that unfolds directly ahead.
The sweeping arched ceiling beams date back to 1933, when Clifford Pier was originally constructed. Reflected in the mirror-polished floor, the beams lend the space a tunnel-like sense of grandeur.
Passing the stunning lobby, the walkway to the right leads to The Landing Point, where the Fullerton Bay Hotel’s afternoon tea is served.

Afternoon Tea with Marina Bay View
Lounge Overlooking Marina Bay
In the early 20th century, Clifford Pier served as Singapore’s maritime gateway, welcoming countless immigrants and traders arriving by sea.
Reflecting its historical role as the city’s first point of arrival, the lobby lounge was aptly named “The Landing Point.”
It is located along the corridor connecting the main lobby, set within the historic building, to the hotel’s new wing.
One side of the lounge features floor-to-ceiling glass panels overlooking the Marina Bay.
With panoramic views of Marina Bay Sands, the lounge offers a stunning setting for afternoon tea.
Afternoon Tea Experience
Seated at the table, the afternoon tea experience begins with a refreshing welcome drink to toast the occasion.
Next comes the choice of beverage to accompany the afternoon tea — TWG teas for tea lovers, or Bacha Coffee for coffee enthusiasts.
Before long, the centrepiece of the afternoon tea — the elegant 3-tiered stand — graces the table in all its splendour.
The top tier features 2 types of scones — plain and raisin. Crisp on the outside and fluffy within, these butter-scented delights are classic English scones at their finest.
The middle tier presents 6 varieties of savoury sandwiches.
These bite-sized creations — made with éclairs, bagels, waffles, and more — each offer a unique combination of textures and fillings.
The bottom tier is a vibrant showcase of sweets.
From decadent chocolate cake and zesty citrus tart to traditional British pound cake, paired with locally inspired macarons and mousse, this colourful array of desserts offers something for every taste.
Midway through, a cappuccino arrived adorned with Robby, the bear mascot of the Fullerton Hotels Group, adding a heartwarming touch to the experience.
Final Thoughts
The Landing Point offers the rare luxury of indulging in an exquisite afternoon tea while taking in an unobstructed view of Marina Bay Sands. This is the perfect spot for those who seek both spectacular scenery and culinary substance — all in one indulgent experience.
Located just steps from Merlion Park, it is also a convenient stop for a relaxing break during a day of sightseeing.
