What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
in a row of five well-preserved 19th-century shophouses, that you’ll find an equally memorable hotel: Duxton Reserve, a spectacular French-accented boutique hotel
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Duxton Hill places you amid buzzing Tanjong Pagar cocktail dens and dining spots, steps from historic Chinatown and Maxwell Food Centre.
The rooms
Custom layouts adapt to 19th-century architecture with dark gloss woodwork, oriental screens, and organic mattresses in mood-lit black-and-gold tones.
Restaurant
Yellow Pot
Modern Chinese dishes are prepared without additives or MSG, served beneath black lacquer cabinets filled with yellow pottery.
At the table
Anouska's pours disco-era-inspired cocktails beneath a glowing ceiling fixture, and woven armchairs line the shaded veranda.
How it began
Eight continuous 1860s heritage shophouses were sensitively restored, preserving original architectural lines while integrating framed 18th-century indenture documents into the decor.
