I went up to the 70th floor of the Westin Stamford, which boasts what is arguably the best views of Singapore. There is a bar and a restaurant up there. Since I didnt want high tea, I settled for a Bloody Mary at the bar and here are the pics.

:cheers:

Awesome pics, Raf. This has to be the best view of Singapore. http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/2/103westin1.jpg

Very cool pictures.

I agree with BGT, that picture is amazing!

Take an express lift from the ground floor lobby to the 70th floor:D Its open to the public if you're using the restaurant or the bar.

Amazing!!!...."Singapore....Truely Asia"!!!

:applause:

Nice pics of Singapore.

Wah!....Nice pictures Raffles!!! :)

You should bring me there for a drink when I am in Spore! :D

:okay:
Awsome pictures!!!

great pics Raffles...I had no idea Singapore had so many highrises!

Cool!

I stayed on the 52nd floor of this hotel in 2002... nice view and even nicer... having a balcony 52 floors up!

Superb shots! Is the Johor Bahru skyline visible from the observation deck?

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you all liked the pics so far.

@baqthier, I'm not 100% sure if JB skyline can be seen, but a small cluster and mountains can be seen in the distance on a clear day. But you can easily see Indonesia to the south;)

@szehoong..sure why not..we can go there next time:)

Recently I've seen other pics of Singapore on the site, particularly by you Raffles and huaiwei. So incredibly vast.

Here is the view that greets you as you walk out the elevators on the 70th floor.http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/503/103westin14.jpg

Goodness....if I were to trip as I go down those stairs...:D

I personal favourites were just about any picture that shows anything OTHER then the CBD and Marina Centre. ;) Its always refreshing to see new pictures of the rest of the city, which are so unseen. I will try a trip up too, but raff have to tell me where is the lift! :D

Thanks to museumb and company too. Hope you guys like our "unorthodox" pictures! :D

They are amazing!

I think you should be able to see Johor Baru from there, but the most impressive thing is not that the building is so tall that you could see so far from it, but that the building is so tall that you could see it from that far!

I stayed at the EDEN Hotel in JB last year, and it's only 16 stories high, but from the bar on top, I could see the huge grey skyline of Singapore rising from the forest.

And when I went to Batam, I could see Singapore's skyline with the distinctive shadows of the trio from my hotel room(Holiday Inn Batam), and at night, you could see Republic Plaza's top sparkling like a star!

I have always dreamed of making that top few floors of the EQUINOX into my house.:D

Cliff, your describtions such as I could see the huge grey skyline of Singapore rising from the forest.andyou could see Republic Plaza's top sparkling like a star!reminds me of star wars! :D I can almost imagine the former. Thank goodness our tallest hills are shorter then the buildings! ;)

nice pics david. a visit to this building is a must for every tourist and local too!. i will rate your collection 10/10.

great photos. I just realized that Singapore also have many white buildings just like Bangkok.
http://www.skyscrapercity.com/photopost/data/2/103westin5.jpg

Well it seems that only american buildings tend to be brown? ;) Anyway that picture will probably be passed off as any other Asian city by people unfamiliar with it, dunt you guys think so? :D

I have always dreamed of going out to Batam just to get the view of the skyline. I heard its amazing but I wonder if its possible to go just for a few hours for a drink and get back.

@weirdo, thank you so much!!:D

those white blocks in the pics are residential buildings. I'm not sure but are they outside the CBD or Golden Shoe?

nice view. the room rates must be extremely expensive

I agree. It looks like Bangkok in a way. But if you see apt. buildings., you may think that it's Seoul.

Anyways, nice pic though.

Well.....the buildings are tall no doubt but Singapore's geographical terrain is flat.....so that compliments each other! :D

Anyway I would love to see Singapore from Batam too! ;)

GREAT PICS!!! WHY HAVE I NEVER BEEN UP THERE EVERY TIME I GO TO SINGAPORE?!!!!:rant:

Financial district as usual looks great.

But Suntec City...somebody please demolishlah!

Hahaha!! You come here often, Blabby? ;)

Well...Suntec was built by the Hongkongers...that might give you a clue of why they look the way they do. :D

Loks like Hong Kong Buildings are never as elegant as their US counterparts, just compare Trump World and Chung Kong

IMO, the only thing good about the Suntec City development is the water fountain and the convention centre. The office towers are pretty ugly.

That explains the tacky exterior outline-lighting of all 4 tower blocks added sometime after completion of construction, presumably to jazz up the towers' appearance by night ;)

Ever noticed that all the highrises in the Marina Centre area are monotonously white/off-white? Some colour-diversity in the area (eg. the colour of Parkview Sq) would be nice. :D

Hahaha! I was wondering where the KFC stuff went! :D

I think it is relativley cheap on the lower floors?

izzit more empensive when it is under Westin last time? My friend said his room is pretty expensive when he stayed there but I guessed it must've been a suite or something cos he mentioned that it has a baby grand in his room....hehehehe :D

What in the world is a baby grand??

A 'baby' Grand Piano ;) .....the smaller version of a grand piano but much larger than the ordinary pianos. :)

You can see it in the first pic of this page ;-)
It's on the right of the riverfront, just next to UOB.

Is it just me, or do I feel that Peace Centre had changed it's colour?:?

@redstone, yes they are painting it white it seems

@drwho, Boat Quay is along the Singapore River, in the CBD, located in the southern-central part of the island.

My guess would be the one nearest to the Library, with the underground carpark entrance ^^

yah was quite excited when I saw what was happening. URA model named that space as a park? I think a park would be a great place to take more pics, but was also half hoping for a tall building there, no matter how horrid it would seem..but I guess not :P

hmmm... I thought you meant the ONE at the bar... :p

I didnt notice any signboard there as it was dark, but I could smell freshly laid tar of a road. hmm...

Someone told me that they might be getting ready for Cirque de Soleil, Quidam show.

I have confirmed it by enlarging one pic I took yesterday trying to zoom into the banner of the fenced up plot.

oh ic..in that case then its not a real permanent thingy...probably the land was rented for 'interim' uses like this performance.

Nice.....:yes: Another change coming up with the Sail....:cool:

I think Raffles Quay really does justice to the skyline from this angle, and gives it more mass, while respecting the 'trio'. Cant wait for the Sail too! :happy:

What a nice view from the Equinox restaurant,does entry requires any entrance fees?

There is a choice of the bar, or the restaurant.

The restaurant has the main skyline view, but you can still get a pic of the view from the lift lobby. The bar faces north, south, and east

I'll check it out,soon :P

What a nice view from the Equinox restaurant,does entry requires any entrance fees?

I think if you go up to the 71st floor equinox in the evenings you have to pay a cover charge, because they treat you as though you are entering the bar.

Otherwise, its free. But its not a full fledged observation deck. rarely do singapore buildings have this which is a sad thing.

Hmm,how much is the cover charge?

I dont think there is a cover charge to enter the bar. It is happy hour from 3pm-9pm.

Guess it depends on the owner(s) and whether there is an incentive for redevelopment, maybe through increasing of plot ratio etc.

SHould the land at Parkview Square be developed, I wonder if it will be a lowrise or a highrise.....but it sure would create some excitement:cheers:

Well the Bugis Interchange is going to be constructed over the next few years...so that would increase the dynamism of the area.

From the state of Shaw Tower, it seems that the owner is not renovating or something......seems like they are waiting for the right time or something....hmmm...:)

Bugis Interchange?? Hmmm....more expensive land price perhaps?? :colgate:

The 2 development will be something big i guess, judging by the land area and potential in the bugis and marina area....:yes:

What's on the green plot of land next to the colourful Rochor Centre flats currently?

Half of it is a carpark that was constructed recently. The rest is just trees.

quite wasteful to have a carpark there, isn't it?

why not sell it for hotel and office use?

Probably cause URA deems it is necessary to address the parking shortfall in the area (I think the carpark at Manila Street had to go for the Entertainment Hub), and because, there is no dire need to have that land developed when Bugis still has other available plots nearer the MRT station.
