A while ago a reader <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/23/173715/169/hotels/Reader_Weighs_in_on_a_Tale_of_Two_Mandarins">gave us a tip</a> about the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Fullerton+Hotel+Singapore/ian/192673"><b>Fullerton Hotel</b></a>.

Singapore's recently been promoting itself as a good place for an op and the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Singapore+Marriott+Hotel/ian/116693"><b>Singapore Marriott Hotel</b></a> has also jumped on the medical tourism bandwagon:</p><blockquote><p>Singapore Marriott is literally located within five minutes walk from the renowned Mount Elizabeth Hospital, in the centre of the city, as well as to other major popular hospitals. &nbsp;The hotel offers a respite for those amandak 2007-06-14T09:22:03-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/5/9/55617/85269 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/sentosa_island.jpg" class="imgborder"/><p>The pretty Sentosa Island, just a short cable car ride from Singapore, has been spoiled by a lot of construction work recently, but it's all starting to come good. This week the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Amara+Sanctuary/local/556"><b>Amara Sanctuary Resort</b></a> opened its doors for business amidst the tropical gardens of the island. The resort is opening in stages over the next few weeks, including verandah and courtyard suites in a restored barracks building, and deluxe rooms and villas in new buildings.</p><p>Singapore has quite a mixed heritage, and the style of the resort is intended to reflect this, according to the CEO of the Amara Group, who said:</p><blockquote><p>Our aim with this property was to create a vernacular style that is quintessentially Singaporean, combining amandak 2007-05-09T09:20:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/23/173715/169 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/oriental_singapore.jpg" class="imgborder"><p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2007/3/21/0316/34528/hotels/The_Better_Mandarin_Oriental_in_Singapore">Earlier this week</a>, we let you know about the Mandarin Oriental sister properties located right next door to each other in Singapore. We found the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/THE++ORIENTAL+SINGAPORE/ian/107249"><b>Oriental Singapore</b></a> (pictured above) to be a better hotel than the Marina Mandarin and a reader agreed. So we thought would share his perspective and his tips with you.<blockquote><p>As for the Oriental in Singapore, it is definitely way better than the Marina Mandarin. I haven't seen the renovation, but the building (especially the towering atrium) is quite nice. The Oriental has the benefit of being one of the first buildings that went up in the Marina area, giving it waterfront location and as said, the great views over the city.
