SINGAPORE, July 21, 2007: The Fullerton Hotel Singapore has been recognized with the prestigious honour of being one of the world’s top 100 hotels in the 12th Annual Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards.  Voted 13th position in Asia and 77th position worldwide, this honour is yet another milestone for the independent Singapore property. Since opening in 2001, the 400-room luxury hotel has won many noteworthy awards and accolades for its premier accommodation experience, quality service, unique architecture and excellent location.

A stunning combination of rich heritage and contemporary style, The Fullerton Hotel was transformed from the historic Fullerton Building which was built in 1928. With a dynamic location in the heart of the financial and arts districts, and views of the Singapore River and sea, the hotel has become the natural choice of accommodation for many business and leisure travellers.

“We highly value this positive endorsement from Travel + Leisure's readers, who are considered experienced and astute travellers. We are grateful for this great honour of being voted among the 100 best hotels in the world. This acknowledgement is a testament to our staff’s commitment to service excellence and we will strive to continuously improve, so as to provide an even more luxurious experience for our guests,” said Mr Louis Sailer, General Manager.

The World’s Best Awards rankings, which are based on the responses from the 12th annual readers’ poll of the respected travel magazine, evaluates the  best in travel, including hotels, spas, cities, cruise lines, airlines and other categories. Hotels are rated for their rooms and facilities, service, food and beverage and value for money. The award is considered highly prestigious for the process by which the online poll is conducted. Only respondents whose personal information matches the subscriber database can vote and a screening process ensures only nontravel- industry professionals’ responses count towards the final tally.
