<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/PoolioRCM.jpg" class="top"> Look, Singapore is a hot place both literally and figuratively. If you're heading to to the Lion City for more than a couple days on business, or staying for any length of time for vacation, then you must make a decision: a hotel with an awesome pool or a hotel with no pool. Obviously we favor the former, and we've actually been in love with hotel pools since the days of browsing printed pamphlets to choose a place (no flashy website photography then!). Our latest awesome pool find is at the <a href="">Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore</a>. You'll find no waterslides or in-water chaise lounges here, however; the design is simple and sleek and all about the stepped sides.

The suite itself is about 600-sq.ft. with a floating signature W Bed (all rooms feature a floating bed look), a fully-tricked out desk with a personal computer, a giant flat-screen TV and a spa-style bathroom featuring

New York: How Many Justin Bieber Bodyguards Does It Take To Change A Lightbulb?

Well, judging from how many of them it takes to babysit him while he eats dinner, we're guessing: a lot.

The Biebs was spotted at New York's Dream Downtown on Saturday night, dining at Marble Lane with his pal Usher. According to Page Six, the pair stopped in for a late dinner, and were taken to a corner booth of the ground-floor restaurant. Surrounding them throughout the entire meal were four bodyguards, plus an extra "lookout guy" to make sure no one came close enough to swipe their bread sticks.
