Water is an element that is essential to human life, one which has an innate capability to soothe and heal both the body and the mind. We have developed an encompassing love of hotels by and on the water, and have seen a raft of luxury hotels spring up with almost nothing between the guests and the deep blue - the Great Barrier Reef hotel to be built in Australia, with underwater glass walled bathrooms, Conrad in the Maldives, which is built in the space between two private islands, the Dragon Inn Floating Resort in Malaysia (Singapore's only neighbor), which emulates a traditional Bajau water village. Singapore's luxury hotels don't have the luxury of calm wetlands or shallow seas to build on - however there are still plenty of options for ocean-lovers looking for Singapore accommodation. We look at some of the best options.
The Singapore River is filled with water fresh from the ocean - and one of the first hotels along its length, as it floods in from the sea is Novotel Clarke Quay. The hotel is set directly on Singapore River, and many rooms also have ocean views, with spectacular sunsets and sunrises. However, rooms at this ultra-luxury Singapore hotel are so comfortable that you will likely see very few sunrises here! You'll be looking at the inside of your eyelids instead - but will wake up to stunning blue vistas. Enjoy your own dose of water therapy in the swimming pool, which is large enough to swim laps in. You can take your liquid refreshment internally also at Novotel Clarke Quay hotel - the pool has plenty of space for downing refreshing cocktails, and if you are staying on the Premier floor, you can get free tea, coffee and a cocktail with snacks during happy hour.
Swimming, and water itself, always stimulates the palate - you can then indulge your taste-buds at one of three restaurants, two bars and a lounge at Novotel Clarke Quay. The Square has a international menu and interactive cooking stations, and a Flavors of Asia themed buffet, which makes excellent use of the abundance of seafood. Moghul Mahal offers the zest and spice of North India, in both the food and the atmosphere, while comforting Asian staples are available at the Dragon Phoenix at this Singapore luxury hotel.
The Fragrance Hotel Ocean View is across the other side of the city, but also has stunning views of the sea itself. This is a smaller, boutique hotel, and while not quite in the leagues of luxury Singapore hotels like Novotel Clarke Quay, offers comfort and personal service at great rates. Wifi and IDD phones are available in room, as well as standard electronic conveniences like LCD TVs, DVD players and air conditioning. Checkouts at this water view accommodation in Singapore are luxuriously late - you can sleep until afternoon and get out in time for a 3pm checkout.
The Mandarin Oriental is another luxury Singapore hotel that is set superbly close to the water, and instead of dull grey marinas, guests can enjoy a short stroll through parkland to the ocean. The Mosin Spa at the Mandarin Oriental knows the value of water therapy - it is an integral part of their treatments. The steam room and Agape bath tubs have created many a droopy eyelid, and beaches are only a shrot walk away from the luxury Singapore hotel if you don't feel that you can sleep through your entire holiday!
