    I love how Six Senses caters to the culture of where said hotel is. From rugged beach-chic on the shore to buttoned-up and classy in Singapore they really pay homage to their surroundings instead of sticking out like sore thumbs irregardless. That shows a lot of thought and care for the people, culture and heritage of where they decide to put their stamp. Kudos Six Senses!

    It's a very dark, yet intimate hotel. Very beautiful from the inside.

    thanks for this. i love how dark and plush The Library is. i've been to Six Senses Uluwatu and love it for completely different reasons. seems like the thing that sets them apart is they know how to use local history and architecture to curate a luxurious experience. Duxton and Maxwell are now on my list.

    Fun fact; they're now part of Marriott International, under its Autograph Collection brand. One is Duxton Reserve Singapore, and the other is Maxwell Reserve Singapore.

    I spent 3 weeks at the Duxton Hotel in 2000 before it was sold and renovated. It was part of the British "Small Luxury Hotel" chain. It was a top notch property then and appears to be a top notch property now. The service and attention to detail were outstanding. The neighborhood was fun and eclectic. The only criticism I had was the distance from the metro (Tanjong Pagar) can be long and uphill.

    This video was like opening two new books of adventure. But then again this is Six Sensenses. I loved the Pearl Suite, with the natural white style. But both of the hotels is non the less beautifully decorated. And the menu had a lot of good choises you could choose from. I also liked the streets around the hotels and buildings. Loved the comment of history that you used. Either local or about the hotel.

    WOW!Way beyond my meagre pocket.Although I can respect the dominant fusion of Asia with British and European influence but correctly more Asian which is so enticing.Beautiful.

    Singapore is brilliant!
    And they plan on keeping it that way.
    Did you notice that there was not a scrap of paper or litter on the streets of Chinatown?
    No graffiti.
    Extremely low levels of crime with no overt signs of poverty (i.e. homeless and drug addicts wandering the streets).
    Excellent educational system.
    No racial tension among diverse ethnic groups and cultures.
    Tremendous pride in the country's achievements.
    Solid economic base for business and shady deals are not allowed.
    Singapore is a marvel!
    👏👏👏👏

    I was 100% convinced that you are using a ‘gimble’ like dj osmo for camera stability but damn when I saw your reflection I realised that you were holding the camera with your hands. Your hands are super steady (of course I’m sure the camera has stabilisation feature too). Great work 👍🏼

    Where do you get the music? I like the song that played when the video starts.

  • @sugreev2001
    @sugreev2001 4 года назад +2

    Didn’t know Six Senses made such hotels. Thought their properties were usually outside heavily populated places, and their theme was more or less organic to their surroundings.

    I went to Raffles in 1979 aged 14. Before dusk, a still, pink sunset.
    Wandered off, up the stairs and saw Rudyard Kipling had a plaque as commemoration on his favourite bedroom door. It was a magnificent moment for this bookish and musical girl. I stood, imagining him through the locked door, writing at his desk with a billowing, thin curtain over the open wooden window. I put my ear to the door thinking he would be half listening to the muffled, comforting sounds below, through the evening breeze.... ceiling fan , like metronome. I'm suddenly aware of great inspiration all around me.
    Raffles, and Singapore became unforgettable treasures to me.
    This video, or more importantly, the magnificent audio has inspired me, thank you.
    My first (LP) album aged three was The Jungle Book.
    My parents drank delicious gin and tonics on the grass. I learned about the famous gin sling, and those parents, in that moment were wiser to my overwhelming appreciation of their parenthood.

    To me a bar in Singapore is as useless as the proverbial. The taxes on alcohol in that nation are so high that in turn make a simple drink so expensive in bars as to literally make your eyes water you'd be better picking up a bottle in duty free as you come through and having a drink in your room.

      @@ronalddavid8082 👎 My comment has nothing to do with you . It doesn't matter how expensive the houses are, or what the story is behind those . For me, Singapore means technology, modern architecture, luxury and in general Marina bay Sands . You go to the Chinatown . For the Terminator no matter where it goes !
