Accor has opened a Sofitel So hotel in Singapore.
The 134-room Sofitel So Singapore is located on Robinson Road in the centre of the city's business district.
The guestrooms, which include nine suites, are designed by Isabelle Miaja and are housed within a So Hip wing and a So Heritage wing.
Inspired by "19th century French decadence", each room has high ceilings and bespoke light boxes "featuring images of palatial glass domes inspired by the traditional architecture of Europe and modern constructions in Singapore."
Guests staying in suites receive a complimentary one-way transfer from the airport to the hotel.
Sofitel So Singapore features what it claims is the world's first completely Apple-based guest "technology solution" in every room, including iPad Minis to control all room functions and iPhones to call for hotel requests.
It also contains a restaurant and bar, and a rooftop bar with a swimming pool and 360-degree views.
