Mandarin Oriental, Singapore’s redesigned pool and deck area makes for a luxurious respite from the city.

A luxury icon of the Far East just got a dazzling new look: After a six-month transformation, Mandarin Oriental, Singapore is welcoming A-list travelers to a property that blurs indoors and outdoors, with splashes of color and inspired architectural accents that call to mind Singapore’s rich local culture. For the ultimate in luxe, book the new four-bedroom, 4,200-square-foot Royal Marina Bay Penthouse (the hotel’s “masterpiece,” says general manager Jill Goh), which boasts a fully equipped chef’s kitchen and unobstructed views of Marina Bay, South China Sea and Singapore’s skyline.
