Berjaya Hotel

Set in a former Straits Chinese trading house, the 48-room Berjaya Hotel is decked out with chandeliers, French windows and beautiful mahogany furniture. Ironic, then, that it’s set in a less than salubrious area – the hotel borders the seedy nightscape of Duxton Hill. An ideal spot for two very different types of people: those desiring a comfortable rest after an energetic stag night, or those looking for a more affordable colonial-era experience.
