SINGAPORE, 20 April 2016 –The Fullerton Heritage celebrates Earth Day on 22 April 2016 with the introduction of our new in-room amenity - the Fullerton Merlion plushie - in The Fullerton Hotel Singapore and The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore, both of which are located in close proximity to Merlion Park at Marina Bay.
The Fullerton Merlion plushy is inspired by the national icon of Singapore – the mythical Merlion with the head of a lion and body of a fish, while its batik fabric embodies Singapore’s multi-ethnicity and diversity. Hotel guests will have the option of reusing their bed linen simply by placing the Fullerton Merlion plushie on the bed. Through this effort, the hotels hope to garner guests’ support in reducing the impact on the environment by conserving water.
Each Fullerton Merlion plushie is created by disadvantaged women from Mother and Child Project, providing them with a source of income. Guests are welcomed to bring the Fullerton Merlion plushie home by purchasing it for S$20 at The Fullerton Shop, located at the lobby level of The Fullerton Hotel.
