On a recent visit to Singapore, I was fortunate to stay at the newly opened St Regis Singapore. You'll love the pink couches in the guest rooms, which are complete with 42" flat-screen TV and BOSE stereo systems, but it is the Remède Spa - the first to open outside the USA - that will sweep you away from the Singapore heat. Offering the best treatments in town, you can also enjoy a few hours of relaxation in the steam chamber (featuring three different steam baths - allowing you to progressively adapt to the increasing temperature), the Finnish sauna offers the traditional dry heat experience whilst the ice fountain is an different approach to the cold plunge pool, you 'pack' your body with handfuls of crushed ice to cool yourself after sweating in the saunas. My favorite treatment is the natural stone heated wave loungers, ergonomically designed for ultimate comfort. The loungers offer an infrared heating system which warms the body in the same manner as natural sunlight.
My insider tip: arrive in real style - in one of the St Regis's Bentleys, and ask your butler for an Earl Grey chocolate - yummy!
