Marina Bay Sands, Singapore-滨海湾金沙，新加坡

Guests who book into the Marina Bay Sands aren’t just checking into the world’s most expensive hotel -- it cost S$8 billion (USD$6.6 billion) to build -- but are buying a chance to dip their toe into one of the world’s largest outdoor pools.
订了滨海湾金沙的旅客不仅是入住了世上最贵的酒店——兴建费用价值 $80 亿新加坡元 ($66 亿美元)——还买了一个在全球最大的户外泳池畅泳的机会。

For the number crunchers, that’s a 150-meter long infinity pool perched 200 meters above the ground with a stunning, panoramic view overlooking Singapore’s surrounding Central Business District area.
那是150米长、阔200米的泳池，拥有了不起的全景观，可眺望新加坡商业中心地区。

Cleverly, architect Moshe Sadfie has scattered other key viewpoints across the three 55-story towers.
建筑师Moshe Sadfie在三栋55层高楼巧妙地分散其它重点。

The boat-shaped SkyPark is its most democratic gawking spot; for S$20 (USD$16.26) this is where the masses go to for an unfettered view of the Lion City, and to snap the requisite cheesy “I was here” photo.
船形的SkyPark是大部分旅客会选择的景点；大家付 $20 新加坡元 ($16.26 美元) 便可到一个无拘无束的狮城景观，而且必须拍一张老土的「到此一游」照片。

Another two options include Justin Quek’s Sky on 57 gourmet Asian restaurant, and the restaurant/bar/club Ku De Ta where hardcore party revelers can spend sunset-to-sunrise.
另外两个选择包括57楼的亚洲美食餐厅Justin Quek’s Sky，还有餐厅/酒吧/俱乐部 Ku De Ta ，那儿就是派对爱好者能够通宵达旦玩乐之地。

Inside, of the 2,500 rooms, the City rooms overlook the Marina Bay area including the newly-built Marina Bay Financial Center, and on a clear day, Orchard Road can be spied at a distance. On the other side of the towers, the Garden View rooms overlook the upcoming Gardens by the Bay with the backdrop of the South China Sea.
里面有2,500间房，城市房间可以远眺滨海湾区，包括新落成的滨海湾金融中心，而在晴天时，你可远距离地看到乌节路。 在大楼的另一边，园景房可眺望那个接近海湾的公园，背后就是南中国海。

Still, nothing will quite beat hanging off the side of the pool with its 144.6 meter vanishing edge to feel as if you’re on top of the world.
还有，几乎没有人可以在 144.6 米的泳池边克服恐惧，同时，消失的边界让你感觉你是世上最高的。

Insider tip: The hotel’s design was inspired by a deck of cards, and the 1.2-hectare long SkyPark is as long as the Eiffel Tower is high.
内幕消息：酒店设计是由一副扑克牌启发的，而长度1.2公顷的SkyPark好比巴黎铁塔的高度。
