MBS is World's No.5 Ugliest Hotel

[Extremist]

British newspaper The Telegraph has named the world's top 20 ugliest hotels and Singapore's Marina Bay Sands (MBS) has found its way into the list.

It ranked the 55-storey hotel at No. 5 and said that the views from the hotel's observation deck may be awesome, but not the other way round when others look at it.

"It resembles some kind of space-age surfboard," said the report.

There were five Asian hotel properties in the list, including North Korea's 105-storey Ryugyong Hotel, which recently announced that it will open next year, more than 20 years after its exterior was completed.

Some readers found it hard to believe that the integrated resort - which has been widely hailed an architectural marvel - was in the list.

Reacting to the list, one netizen a local online forum said he did not care much for the exterior of the buildings, as long as the hotel delivered good customer service and room interiors are nice.

Ugly activities on the inside, ugly on the outside.

Sentosa RWS is not much better. Look at actual photo, not artist impression.

No 5 Ugliest? Not surprising. Some said it looked like those 3 tablets for worshipping ancestors - sun ju pie.

I think the surfboard makes it look unique but the facade, including the colour of the hotel sucks big time. They should have done in sky blue to lift the mood and make it really stand out and shine under the sun.

nonsense it is a very good looking hotel.
The view from the top is nice, the view inside is nice too.
It is a world class hotel.
Your lack of taste is most disturbing.

From far away in the sea near Southern Island you could see (MBS) the 3 tomb stone,
