Although long the province of business travellers, many leisure travellers are discovering that hotel club fl oors are a good deal with extras like all-day beverages, complimentary cocktails, pre-dinner canapés and private check-in services. And when they also come with panoramic views and top-end privacy — who can resist? Here are our top seven picks of the region. The newest addition to Singapore’s hotel scene, Marina Bay Sands has broken one record after another, claiming fame as the largest hotel in Singapore, home to the grandest suites in Asia and the world’s highest swimming pool at 200m above ground level. Opening up to a 360-degree panorama of the city, The Club — an exclusive club fl oor guests’ lounge — is poised on the hotel’s plush openroof Sands SkyPark. By night, The Club takes dining to a whole new level with Singapore’s fi rst chocolate bar, at 57 storeys above ground. The decadent spread of chocolate-themed buff et seduces with more than 57 items, crafted by hand with Valrhona chocolate and created by executive pastry chef Alejandro Luna and his team. It is also available to the general public at S$38++ per person. In Jetstar Asia’s latest Chinese destination, Guilin, the Shangri-la Guilin boasts impressive views of the poetic Li River, but pushes it up a notch by off ering the biggest club fl oor rooms in Guilin (average size of 42m2 ) with LEFT: Superb views from Horizon Club rooms; INSET: the Club at Marina Bay Sands gives a new high HOTEL CLUB FLOORS ARE A GOOD DEAL WITH EXTRAS LIKE ALL-DAY BEVERAGES, COMPLIMENTARY COCKTAILS, PRE-DINNER CANAPÉS AND PRIVATE CHECK-IN SERVICES IN FOCUS HOTEL CLUB FLOORS FEBRUARY/MARCH <strong>2011</strong> 59
