Singapore is a city that shines brighter as the darkness grows. The night view of Singapore is as if several constellations embroidered in the night sky have fallen on the heart of the city. Marina Bay Sands, which has become a landmark in itself, has a shining crown on her head, and the entire city, which is harmonized with the sea and sky, is flooded with waves of light. The view of the city reflected on the calm sea is as fascinating as a piece of art and makes it impossible to take one’s eyes off. Where the gaze stayed, it gives travelers a new sense as if time has stopped, and every moment seems to lead to eternity.

Marina Bay, famous for its night view, is surrounded by numerous hotels, but the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Hotel is the one where you can most fully enjoy Singapore’s amazing night view. The Ritz-Carlton Millenia is not only a hotel, but also an artistic reconstruction of Singapore’s night beyond just accommodation. The 180-degree panoramic scene of all Singapore’s landmarks looking down through the window from the hotel room creates the feeling of appreciating framed art works, and provides a special experience that sublimates a city’s journey into an artistic state that cannot be easily encountered anywhere else.

Meet The Ritz-Carlton Millenia as a gallery where you can enjoy the night view of Singapore like a masterpiece.

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore is an art gallery itself where you can actually meet numerous artworks in addition to a feast of light like a piece of art that unfolds outside the window from the guest room. In the lobby, which we encountered for the first time as we entered the hotel, ‘Cornucopia’ by Frank Stella(1936-2024, a master of American minimalism sculptor) is displayed surrounded by geometric designed windows.

Cornucopia is a horn-shaped ornament that symbolized “enrichment” and “prosperity” in ancient Greece. In the Greek myth, it is depicted as a treasure that can supply as much food and wealth as you want. Frank Stella reconstructed it into a modern and abstract form, which serves to deliver a message that symbolizes not only visual pleasure but also abundance and happiness to customers visiting the hotel. It is truly a work that is worthy of a luxury hotel.

The room category of The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, which consists of 32 floors, are divided into Kalang View (City View), Marina Bay View depending on the view, and also divided into Deluxe Suite, Premier Suite, and Millenia Suite depending on the room size. Among them, the most suitable room for travelers is the Deluxe Marina Bay View Room, where you can enjoy the beautiful Marina Bay night view at the most reasonable price. Of course, suites is more spacious and better, but it’s quite more expensive. And above all, deluxe rooms are also 51 square meters, which is a reasonably generous room size, and there is no shortage of enjoying the 180-degree panoramic Marina Bay View, so a deluxe Marina Bay View room is enough.

When you open the Deluxe Marina Bay View room door on the 21st floor and enter the room, you will see a wide open Marina Bay view that matches the name of the room. Anywhere in the room, from the bed, from the sofa, from the desk, you can enjoy the Marina Bay view right in front of you. There is no better place for travelers who want to enjoy the cozy and private view of all the tourist destinations in Singapore, Merlion, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, where the Spectra Fountain Show with various lights is held, and the super tree of Gardens by the Bay, at a glance.

Imagine having a glass of champagne with your lover while holding this beautiful view in your arms. There could be no more perfect moment if you whispered, “Here’s looking at you, kid!” like in a famous scene from the classic movie Casablanca. Singapore is a country where tax-free standards for alcoholic beverages are strict, but you are allowed to buy a bottle of champagne at duty-free shops. A bottle of Veuve Clicquot, which can be purchased at a relatively cheap price at duty-free shops in Singapore, so if you are a romantic who wants a special moment, you can add it to your purchase list.

If you forgot to buy champagne at the duty-free shop, don’t worry. The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore is immediately accessible to the Millenia Shopping Mall as soon as you open the door in the lobby. Which means you can make your own mini bar at a supermarket in the shopping mall at reasonable price and enjoy it in your room.

Another point of choice for this room is the view from the bathrtub. It has an octagonal geometric window right beside and it makes the view more special. It is said that if you stay at The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore, you should enjoy the bathtub at least twice a day in the morning and evening to enjoy the Marina Bay view entirely. The Marina Bay, seen through this octagonal window in front of the bathtub, offers a special experience that no other hotel can provide. If you plan to visit The Ritz-Carlton Millenia, even if you are not a bathtub-person, highly recommend you to prepare plenty of bath bomb to enjoy this beautiful moment by using all your senses as much as possible.

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia is a modern art gallery where you can appreciate various works of art such as pop artist Andy Warhol, contemporary artist David Hockney, and glass artist Dale Chihuly throughout the hotel, but it is no exaggeration to say that the most outstanding art-work is Singapore’s beautiful night view in this octagonal frame.

So almost all hotels in Singapore have their own unique concept outdoor swimming pools, and The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore Hotel also offers a swimming pool with its own identity.

Passing through the passage on the first floor, where Frank Stella’s another work, Moby Dick, you will face an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by lush forests. Even though The Ritz-Carlton Millenia is a hotel, not an art museum, there is nothing in vain about each arrangement of the artworks, so it seems that a professional curator resides. How appropriate is the white whale ‘Moby Dick’ at the entrance to the pool.

The pool is also connected to a fitness center and a hotel spa. Guests from The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore can use all these facilities before check-in and after check-out as well. You can enjoy swimming as well as a sauna and shower at a luxurious hotel spa before boarding a flight home after traveling hot Singapore.

| The Ritz Carlton Millenia Singapore Review

The Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore opened in 1996 and is already quite old, but through constant renovation and considerate facility management, it gave a positive impression of a classic luxury, rather than an old-fashioned feelings. Of course, that doesn’t mean that the hotel is free from flaws. For an authentic luxury hotel, there is quite a lot of noise outside the room through ceilings, walls and windows, so if there are plans for future renovations, this problem should be solved.

Nevertheless, it is certain to recommend The Ritz-Carlton Millenia as an accommodation during a trip to Singapore. The fact that you can see Merlion, a must-visit travel spot in Singapore, Marina Bay Sands, where the Spectra Fountain Show is held, and Gardens by the Bay’s super tree at a glance suggests that you can travel to Singapore on the optimal route. All of these places are within a 1-kilometer radius of the hotel. Moreover, Maxwell, Chinatown, and Arab streets, where many famous restaurants are located, are within a 10-minute drive, perfect for enjoying a gourmet tour.

Of course, there are many hotels that have these locational advantages, but in addition to these locational advantages, The Ritz-Carlton Millenia is the only hotel like The Gallery, where you can experience the amazing works of art even while lying in bed or lying in a bathtub. Beyond simply traveling and sightseeing Singapore, if you want to experience the constellation of the night sky as it is in the heart of the city and appreciate Singapore’s night view as a gemstone, the Ritz-Carlton Millenia Singapore will be the best choice.
