Marina Bay Sands Singapore
Marina Bay Sands is an iconic tourist attraction that overlooks Marina Bay. This integrated resort offers spectacular views of the city among other treats. It is the property of Las Vegas Sands Corporation.
Marina Bay Sands would have been opened to the public in 2009 were it not for the financial crisis at the time and the increasing construction costs. For these reasons, the resort was opened in phases, the first being on 23rd June 2010. A grand opening was held on 17th February 2011.
Marina Bay Sands Singapore Design
Marina Bay Sands boasts a distinctive design. It is made up of three 55-storey hotel towers in which there are over 2500 luxury rooms and suites.
Atop the three towers is a Sky Park, an awe-inspiring architectural marvel that contains jogging paths, swimming pools, and gardens. Next to the three towers are a convention centre, casino, and a Theatre block.
Attractions at the Resort
The ArtScience Museum
The ArtScience Museum is designed to look like a lotus. Its permanent exhibition is the impressive ‘FUTURE WORLD: Where Art Meets Science.’ In addition to that, the museum also hosts important travelling exhibitions such as HUMAN+: The Future of our Species and NASA-A Human Adventure. All these creations show the fusion of art, science, and technology.
But, if you’re after an old-fashioned charm, you may also visit Raffles Hotel that boasts its colonial style.
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands
The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is a whole section that caters to your shopping needs. It covers an area of 93, 000 square metres (about 1,000,000 square feet). This section has approximately 300 stores and hosts luxury brands such as Gucci, Prada, Cartier, Montblanc, Dior, Emporio Armani, Saint Laurent Paris, Ralph Lauren, Vera Wang Bride, and Vertu.
A canal runs through the Shoppes, in a style that is strikingly similar to the Venetian in Las Vegas. Sampans are available for guests and shoppers to take rides on the canal. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands also contains several F&B outlets.
Sands SkyPark
Perhaps this is one of the attractions that you wouldn’t want to miss when you visit Marina Bay Sands. It is a three-acre park atop the three towers. The park has an infinity pool (one with a vanishing edge). The 146-metre edge makes it the longest elevated pool in the world.
The Observation Deck at the SkyPark offers unforgettable views of the city’s skyline. Aside from the pools, the park also has various plants and trees and gives the impression of a sandy beach. If you love partying, you’ll definitely love the SkyPark’ nightclubs.
