Book The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore if you want the harbour, the skyline and central access at $667 a night with a slightly higher guest rating from far more reviews. Book Capella Singapore if you have $1,218 to spend and want jungle, three pools, a spa and the sense of being nowhere near a city at all. Both sit at the very top of Singapore's five-star tier; the choice is really landscape versus skyline, not quality.
Capella occupies two colonial-era black-and-white bungalows joined to a newer wing by Norman Foster, set into the hillside greenery of Sentosa. The old buildings keep their verandahs and dark timber shutters; the new block is all glass and cantilevers over a lawn that runs down towards the sea. Interiors lean tropical-colonial: rattan, deep sofas, ceiling fans turning slowly over marble floors, monkeys occasionally visible from the terraces. It draws couples on a splurge and families who want a resort feel without leaving the island city.
Capella suits travellers who want a resort escape with pools, spa and greenery and don't mind being 20 minutes from the city centre by taxi.
The Fullerton Bay is a low glass-and-steel block built directly over Marina Bay, next to the older Fullerton Hotel (the former General Post Office) and sharing its waterfront address at Collyer Quay. Inside it is contemporary and glossy: dark wood, brass fittings, floor-to-ceiling windows onto the bay, and a rooftop pool and bar that looks straight across at the Singapore Flyer and the CBD towers lighting up at night. The Lantern rooftop bar fills with a finance-district crowd after work and stays busy into the evening.
The Fullerton Bay suits travellers who want to walk to the CBD, the river and the Marina Bay skyline and prefer a rooftop bar scene over a rainforest retreat.
At under half the price, the Fullerton Bay has no golf, no beach access, no pet allowance and no breakfast listed among its facilities, none of which Capella lacks; what it gains instead is a rooftop pool and bar that Capella does not have.
Capella is the more beautiful place to simply be in, thanks to the black-and-white colonial architecture folded into Foster's later additions and the jungle setting, which the Fullerton Bay's glossy waterfront box cannot match for atmosphere.

“The villa was immaculate, and we appreciated the high level of attention to detail.”
“Would definitely stay again. Beautiful corner room overlooking the bay and fantastic happy hour!”
Fullerton Bay guests seem to come away happier, repeatedly praising the same standout staff and views with only a single minor gripe, while Capella's feedback is thinner and less specific.
Staff was friendly, approachable and helpful at all levels of communication throughout and leading up to our stay. The villa was immaculate, and we appreciated the high level of attention to detail. 10/10 recommend to anyone who wants a getaway oasis.
