Singapore is one of the most metropolitan cities in the world and has many iconic attractions to offer. One that is a true hallmark is the Singapore Flyer, the world’s largest observation wheel.

Background
The Singapore Flyer has a total height of 165 metres and was at one point, the world’s tallest Ferris Wheel until the opening of the High Roller in Las Vegas. Although it might not be the tallest, it is still one of the famous Ferris Wheels in the world with each air-conditioned capsule carrying up to 28 people.
History
The Singapore Flyer was first conceived by Patrick McMahon of Melchers Project Management. It was later endorsed by the Singapore Tourism Board in 2003, construction began in 2005, and was completed in 2008.
Sky Dining
One of the most unique experiences one can indulge in at the Singapore Flyer is sky dining, where a capsule can be reserved for two persons over a four-course dinner in a private capsule.
Journey of Dreams
This is a psychedelic journey through seven galleries which will show you the story of Singapore and her iconic observation wheel in a visually-stunning manner. If you’re afraid of heights yet happen to be staying at a nearby hotel like Grand Park City Hall, be sure to experience the Journey of Dreams. When searching for the best luxury hotel in Singapore, be it for business or pleasure, look to also find one within easy reach of the Singapore Ferris Wheel.
