What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Tatler.
This 34-room boutique hotel is a touch on the minimalist side, both aesthetically — witness the clean lines and white-on-blond décor — and in its concept, which is more luxe-residential.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked along a quiet River Valley cul-de-sac, the property sits five minutes on foot from Somerset station and Orchard Road.
The rooms
Minimalist interiors pair pale timber with monochromatic concrete, while select rooms open onto private garden patios and open-air soaking tubs.
The dipping pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor dipping pool sits along a concrete deck bordered by palms and sun loungers.
How it began
Joan Chang overhauled her father's 1990 budget motel in 2014, recasting the low-rise building into a light-filled minimalist retreat.
“the boutique property channels the Kinfolk look—defined by minimalist design elements such as clean lines, natural materials and raw finishes, and serene palettes complemented by generous daylight”
