<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/marinabaysands.jpg" class="top"> Yes, that is what the hotel of the future will look like.Thought the hotels in <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/">Vegas</a> had lined up some high-powered culinary talent? Think again. Next year, the big chefs head to Singapore for the opening of the $5.4 billion <a href="http://www.marinabaysands.com/">Marina Bay Sands Hotel</a>. Launching with the hotel in 2010 will be six restaurants by powerhouse chefs from around the globe, transforming Singapores culinary scene overnight.

Some people go on vacation to run insanely up the stairs of their 73-storey hotel. And if you're staying at the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Swissotel+The+Stamford%2C+Singapore/ian/105303">Swissotel Stamford</a> in Singapore in late November, you're likely to encounter some of the second type.On Sunday November 22, at the much-too-early time of 7.00am, a bunch of people will begin the <a href="http://www.swissotelverticalmarathon.com/">Swissotel Vertical Marathon 2009</a>. This involves getting up to the top of the hotel the fastest, except taking the elevator doesn't count. The Men's Open and Women's Open champions will both win trips to New York but not just to sightsee, they'll then compete in the similarly crazy Empire

Neither are we, but the grand old dame that is the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Raffles+Hotel+-+A+Raffles+International+Hotel/ian/116216">Raffles Hotel</a> in Singapore has decided that for her 122nd anniversary, she's giving us guests a few bonuses instead.Every deal is linked to the magic number, 122, and they run from now through to September 16. Usually $122 wouldn't get you much at the Raffles, but during the anniversary celebrations it can get you a lobster plus a glass of wine at the Raffles Courtyard restaurant, or a full three-course meal with a wine at the Long Bar Steakhouse or a better deal, perhaps, lunch for two with two glasses of champagne.

Well at the moment, we're thinking <a href=http://www.hotelchatter.com/country/sg>Singapore</a> because, right now, we can stay there for $1. If you're flying <a href="http://www.jaunted.com/tag/Singapore%20Airlines">Singapore Airlines</a> (and from what we've heard, we'd quite like to anyway), you can book the Fabulous Singapore Stopover package, which nets you a hotel for $1 per person for the first night of your stay. The hotels aren't half bad; there are six to choose from at $1 (with 29 others in five other categories, if you're up for spending more), and we reckon the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Peninsula+Excelsior+Hotel/ian/105544">Peninsula

Singapore: Capella Singapore Opens On a Pricey Note

shiralevine — 2009-03-31T16:06:30-05:00

A lousy economy filled with budget-aware travelers didn't keep the luxe high-end Capella Singapore on Sentosa from opening for business today.

Unlike another musically named, South East Asian hotel (Tune in Malaysia) Capella costs a lot more than a pretty penny. Room rates start at $750 Singapore dollars per night (which equals about $492 U.S. dollars)for rooms that are double in size than the average hotel room. Capella square-footage can reach well over 4,000-sq-ft.
