In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Shophouse cocktail bars and cafes pack Telok Ayer Street, with Lau Pa Sat hawker market and Chinatown a short walk away.
The rooms
Past doors marked with ancestral clan names, timber-framed shophouse quarters feature custom opium platform beds and ornate porcelain washbasins.
At the table
Thai cafe Fourgather serves street food plates beside the museum entrance, and morning coffee is poured in the atrium lounge.
How it began
Telok Ayer Street formed Singapore's 19th-century shoreline, where early immigrants stepped ashore before land reclamation reshaped the waterfront.
