Hotel Telegraph

Set in a heritage building just outside Marina Bay, So Sofitel Singapore is a visual feast. High fashion and pop art abound. Throughout the hotel, you encounter touches from fashionista Karl Lagerfeld, while French interior designer Isabelle Miaja has applied modern flair with vibrant images and paintings.

Chic guest rooms and suites effortlessly combine 19th century French charm with 21st century technology and comforts - think automated iPad room controls, Illy coffee machines and rain showers.

Location-wise, you can walk to the gay bars on Neil Street in less than 15 minutes. The Talok Ayer MRT station is next to the hotel, making it easy to get around the city.
