Most of it is hyper modern.<\/p>\n<p>The king-sized bed was roomy and\u00a0comfortable with lots of fluffy pillows. It was hard to peel myself off the bed for a spot of shopping in Suntec City as planned.

The \u00a0metallic look is pretty outstanding and gives a nice touch to the room. But it did bother me how cold it was on the skin because of the air-conditioning in the room.

I\u2019m glad I had one dinner\u00a0at LAUGH bar though!<\/p>\n<p>If I had to pick one room in South Beach hotel, I\u2019d say LAUGH Bar\u00a0is my favourite.

Love the name! It\u2019s inspired by the nearby original Beach Road Police Station from the 1930s.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>One TV to Rule Them All<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It was pretty cool that I could, without moving from the bed, control everything in the room &#8211; from opening the curtains, closing the blinds, turning off the lights and ordering room service. It&#8217;s all done\u00a0with the\u00a0remote control via the TV.<\/p>\n<p>There were however a few hiccups, which is fair enough for a brand new hotel in their pre-opening phase. The hotel will only be opened in full force later this year. So I was prepared for a few bumps. To their credit, staff were quick to respond and help.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9237 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.expedia.com.sg\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/relaxing-in-hotel-3-796x800-1.jpg\" alt=\"relaxing-in-hotel\" width=\"796\" height=\"800\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I had a bit of a thumb war with the remote, frustrated that things weren\u2019t working well. The staff came up and gave me a new remote and reset the TV and that fixed everything quickly. So it really wasn\u2019t too bad. I suppose that\u2019s just a general downside of centralizing technology \u2013 when it works it\u2019s super convenient, but when it fails everything has to pause.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair though, there are still manual buttons for the curtains and lights etc in the room, so you can just get up and control those. But I\u2019m not too crazy about having the room service menu and clock all on the TV. I had to stop my movie to access those. Also would have preferred a movie menu that I could select and watch from start to finish rather than tuning in halfway to whatever was on cable.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I had a great time cracking open a bottle of wine after dinner and staying up late watching movies with a bag of gummy bears.
