Atlas Bar Singapore is located in Parkview Square

The Art Deco Atlas Bar has a high central drinks tower that reaches up to the ceiling;  located in the Parkview Square building in Singapore.

  Atlas Bar in Singapore is located in the Parkview Square building.  The establishment is in high demand due to its Art Deco style and magnificent gin and champagne collections, which are considered the best in the world.

  It was once a lobby bar then called Divine Wine Extraordinaire, which boasted a massive wine bar with a very impressive wine list and a lot of visitors.  Today, the bar has been expertly transformed into a modern drinking establishment, renovated and renamed Atlas Bar.  The renowned premises were renovated by the local architectural company Proof & Companу.

  The huge wine cabinet has been replaced with a similar one and now holds over 1,000 bottles of gin.  Obviously, this is the largest collection in the world.  Indeed, the owners have something to brag about, because this fact alone makes Atlas Bar one of the leading establishments.

  In addition, at the bottom of the vertical bar there is another one, against a pink background of which there is a collection of more than 250 types of champagne.  The bar is decorated in golden tones with intricate arched ceilings, backlit by numerous lights.  There are many paintings on the ceilings depicting battle scenes.  The bar is incredibly loaded with gilded architectural details.

  Gold, burgundy and blue should have become the hallmark of this bar, if not for the abundance of gilding and golden shine.  Marble tables, frescoes and bas-reliefs depicting scenes from Egyptian life speak of a huge investment in interior decoration and decoration.

  The building behind the sophisticated bar houses the Vicky Hwang holding, which runs the business, Chyau Fwu, the development director who owns the Parkview Square building, and many other large global holdings.  Vicky Hwang is the third of nine granddaughters and five grandchildren of the late Patriarch C S Hwang, a prominent real estate tycoon and chairman of Chyau Fwu Development.

  Vicky Hwang's refurbishment of the bar leaves an overall sense of intact the main design concept that was here before.  So the grandiose splendor of the alcoholic establishment is not lost, although the space has actually been seriously renovated.

The Nam Hai’s also features Villa C accommendation, it’s a spectacular ocean view villa with three bedroom pavilions, a central living room pavilion, separate kitchen and butler’s area and a private heated swimming pool.

1-km long beachfront complex of beautiful villas on world-famous China Beach: Nam Hai Hotel provides a five-star experience with the highest levels of elegance, comfort and privacy. Parisian architect Reda Amalou, celebrated by Architectural Digest for his Pacific Rim work in high-end new design, created a series of 100 villas, 40 of which have their own temperature-controlled pool, all looking out on the beach. Interiors are muted, with dark wood, clean lines and a sense of textured but uncluttered luxury. Rain showers, in-room bathrubs, flatscreen television and Bose sound system are standard amenities; the UNESCO world heritage site of My Son is an hour away for the more adventurous. A Eurasian-themed restaurant serves modern interpretations of the freshest fish and shellfish, but the real treat of the Nam Hai Hotel is the unobstructed view out of the front of each cabin: an infinity pool that blends into the beach. Beyond the palm trees are views of endless blue sea and, in the distance, the Cham Islands: a modern traveller’s version of infinite relaxation.

The Spicers Balfour Hotel Queensland Australia

Inner city Brisbane (capital city of Australia's northern most state, Queensland) may not be the first on the list of your must see getaway destinations, especially after the recent floods. However, if you are headed to there for a business trip, or in Australia and looking for a weekend away that will help the local economy I'd stay at the new Spicers Balfour Hotel in New Farm.

Just minutes from the CBD of Brisbane, this nine-room boutique hotel has something to offer every kind of traveller. The design of the hotel and colour palette employed throughout is not typical of tropical Queensland, which I kinda like. The hotel is appropriately urban and looks to me like it would feel more like staying in a very chic friends city pad. Each room has a 50" TV, Bose i-pod docking stations and a great mix of antique and modern furnishings.
