Curated (Trumpet / Kim Summit)


Instagrammable hotel trade setting a hot pace in the republic.  The discerning fin. products trader in the pic. “does not specifically look for an Instagrammable hotel, but places great emphasis on aesthetics.” (Potential brides BEWARE such-like chappies: a lifetime of pain and hardship awaiting.) 
One hotel ahead of the game in Middle Road near the National Library included in each room a “dreamcatcher chandelier.” (Regular readers will have noted such features as "infinity pools," "bus captains" and "Senior Minister Mentors" in the SG landscape.) 
The same Dreamcatcher provider offers guests at their hotel a boxing gym with vintage sandbag and speedball. Food has been enlivened with executive chefs encouraged to add more colour to dishes. What was on offer at the leading candidates in this republic—the Shangri La, Marina Bay Sands and the Sentosa resorts— was hardly ever likely to be trumped by Panmunjom, Vienna or any place else for the upcoming summit that is hoped to usher peace into the region.
