3. J.W. Marriott South Beach in Singapore
Singapore is one of my favorite destinations. The city-state in Southeast Asia is beyond incredible — and the J.W. Marriott South Beach makes for a great base to explore everything from colonial-era architecture to Gardens by the Bay, one of Singapore's marvels.
