Dusit Thani Laguna Singapore hotel on the grounds of the Laguna National Golf & Country Club.Courtesy Dusit International Singapore frequently tops lists as one of the world’s greenest, safest and most ethnically diverse cities, among other superlatives. Adding to the Southeast Asian city-state’s many attributes: The Clan Hotel Singapore, a sleek and centrally located establishment which opened this year with a top-floor infinity pool and a Rolls-Royce airport transfer for suite guests. By contrast, the new 198-room Dusit Thani Laguna hotel—on the grounds of the Laguna National Golf & Country Club, about 10 miles from the city center—feels like an isolated oasis. It offers access to two championship golf courses, three swimming pools and a Thai-­influenced spa, as well as a complimentary shuttle to downtown. In an effort to further boost local tourism, Singapore is extending its SingapoRediscovers program—­originally slated to end in June—through the end of the year, issuing vouchers to residents worth around $74 to spend on tours, hotel accommodations, attraction tickets and more. _—Dan Q.
