When Less is More
Despite what you’ve been told countless times by ex-girlfriends, your drinking buddies, and perhaps even an overly-concerned science teacher, size isn’t everything. You don’t have to be built like Andre the Giant to catch the eye of the ladies, or walk like you have a VW Beetle down your trousers to be the man of the moment. To use another famous phrase, the best gifts – including yours – can come in small boxes.
As it is for houses of slumber. With only 30 rooms, Singapore’s New Majestic is ideal for those who are tired of massive, impersonal cookie-cutter hotels. Each room is a sensorial escapade; there are living spaces with double soak baths in front of plasma televisions, four poster beds decked out with goldfish and psychedelic cityscapes, lime green bathrooms, a minimalist lobby that would have Philippe Stark giggling like a school girl, and even a stylish new gastro-pub serving innovative cocktails and modern Chinese dishes. You’ll never want a cookie-cutter again.
Because it’s not the size of the boat, but the motion of the ocean.
