Marina Bay Sands Hotel

Marina Bay Sands is the most expensive hotel in the world by construction costs. It was built by company Las Vegas Sands, which owns the world's largest hotel and casino in Las Vegas. Total construction cost is 6.4 billion dollars. The hotel was opened in 2010 and has become a new symbol of Singapore for most tourists. Find it on  booking.com.

Despite the huge construction costs, the hotel is available for the middle class. Cheap rooms on the levels up to the 35th can be booked in advance for $400 per night (2021, breakfast not included).

The best choice is a club room with city view (from $660 per night). This room has a number of advantages. Such rooms are located on the 40th floor and above, we had a 49th floor. You can use the VIP check-in (Tower 2), which is important, because you can spend hours when checking into the regular rooms. Also, bear in mind that the check-in starts from 3 pm and the check-out starts from 11 am. The room rate includes breakfast on the roof and, which is important, snacks at 5 pm. For us it was like a normal dinner. You can also visit the fitness club.








On the 57th floor, on the roof you can find the Infinity swimming pool. This is the main reason for many tourists to stay in this hotel. The pool is available to hotel guests only. Other Singapore tourists can visit the observation deck, entrance to which is in the tower number three. The 146-meter long swimming pool is located at an altitude of 191 meters above the ground and is the largest pool of such kind in the world. It is not deep, just 1.2 meters, but has very interesting edges. When viewed from the correct angle, it seems that water falls straight down from the roof.

The pool is open from 6 am to 11 pm, and if you want to make the best pictures, come early in the morning, because from 8 am until evening there will be many people in the pool. Although, even in the evening hours, there was no hustle - there was enough place for everyone. Do not take towels from the room, you can take them near the pool.








The club room is large (62 square meters). The main advantage of all rooms are panoramic windows. Of course, higher levels offer better views. The minibar has an interesting system: the cost of drinks is credited when you just take them in hand, so consider this fact and be careful.

The hotel features extra-fast lifts with the speed of up to 8 mps. Watch the video below to see the speed of the lift. In the evening near the hotel on the bay and on the roof you can watch the laser show. Schedule: Sunday-Thursday at 8 and 9:30 pm.
