Giovanni Viterale, Managing Director of the Fullerton Heritage Group

The Fullerton Hotel was already a symbol of Singapore. Why was it so important to open a second Fullerton hotel?
Giovanni Viterale - Fullerton Heritage is not just a hotel group, but a real estate complex that also includes restaurants, boutiques and a large property in Merlion Park. It's a strategic location, close to the Marina Bay Financial Centre. That's why we felt it was important to offer a more design-led option than our first hotel. We wanted to mark our presence in this new nerve centre.

What does the Fullerton Bay Hotel bring to the hotel scene?
G. V. - Above all, it's a blend of modernity and tradition. Firstly because the staff at Fullerton Bay are the same as those at Fullerton, which is a guarantee of quality, but also because we wanted to offer something contemporary, with a boutique feel.

What can business travellers expect?
G. V. - Everything you'd expect to find in a top business hotel: iPod stand, DVD player, free internet, twelve varieties of Nespresso, computer holder for working in bed or on the sofa...

Just two minutes from the offices, the location, in front of the bay and set back from the hustle and bustle of the city, offers the advantage of not wasting a minute while feeling like you're in the heart of a real... urban resort.
