Marina Bay Sands
You won't want to go off the deep end of Marina Bay Sands' infinity pool – it is 57 stories up. This is just one of the hundreds of features guests of the world's most expensive hotel can enjoy. Yes, it cost a cool $6.2 billion to build.
The infinity pool is located on Sands SkyPark, where you can eat, swim and relax, enjoying views of Singapore. The Sands SkyPark lies on top of the three hotel towers at Marina Bay Sands.
The SkyPark has the world's longest elevated swimming pool. It's 146 meters long and sits 191 meters above the ground. You can ride through the shopping mall on an indoor canal in Sampan boats styled on traditional Chinese vessels.
You will be amazed when you see some of the enormous sculptures by famous artists, including a 40m-long Antony Gormley sculpture made from 16,100 steel rods.
Everything you could wish for is available, from an elegant casino to ArtScience Museum. In addition, not one but several of the best chefs in the world are ready to serve you food from every tradition.
What is unusual about a hotel is that it has its own theater where you can see famous shows from Broadway. In addition, the award-winning Banyan Tree Spa offers unique treatments that fulfill your need to relax.
The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is set to expand with an additional fourth tower for $4.5 billion, where they plan to have 1,000 new suites.
The hotel opened in 2010 and has become a landmark in Singapore.
The three hotel towers rise 55 stories into the sky, and there is a rooftop park with the famous infinity pool on its top connecting the buildings.
Marina Bay Sands is not only a fantastic hotel in the cosmopolitan city with an unprecedented class but also one of the most famous landmarks in Singapore.
The Marina Bay Sands is perhaps the most famous building in all of Singapore.
The impressive lobby is the size of an entire shopping center and has a ceiling at least 200 feet (60 meters) high.
Marina Bay Sands is a hotel where everything comes together. The large building complex has an endless choice of fantastic restaurants and bars and a diverse range of shops at the Shoppes shopping center.
The extremely comfortable rooms and suites are elegantly furnished with a sleek design with cream and gold accents.
All rooms and suites have king-size beds and en-suite bathrooms. In addition, each room and suite has large panoramic windows where your view depends on how much you paid.
When you book a room at the Marina Bay Sands, you can choose between a view of the garden or the city. The city view rooms overlook Marina Bay and downtown Singapore with all the skyscrapers. The garden view rooms have a panorama over the verdant Gardens by the Bay and the sea.
If it is not stated what kind of view it is, you will stay on a lower floor without anything nice to look at. You always pay a little bit more for a room with a view.
Both views are spectacular, but a room with a panorama of the city is the best choice, mainly because the sun sets on this side.
Each bar and restaurant is unique in atmosphere and ambiance, design and location with a view: there is something for everyone's taste.
The 492 feet-long infinity pool in the sky
The hotel's three towers are crowned by the Sands SkyPark 656 feet (200 meters) above the ground. This platform has an observation deck, restaurants and bars, and a garden with several hundred trees and plants.
And last but not least, the super-long infinity pool, where the water spills over the edge and offers a breathtaking view of Singapore.
