This chic 47-room property was one of Singapore’s earliest boutique hotels. Housed in an old Straits Chinese trading house, it has a shophouse exterior and an atmospheric, colonial-style interior (double-glazed french windows, wooden fixtures and magnificent chandeliers). No two rooms are alike; the duplex rooms come with a spiral staircase, while the garden suites offer guests their own indoor patch of greenery. Upmarket restaurant Casa Mediterranea serves traditional Ital-Med cuisine.
