What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
The 115 rooms are small but deliberately so, designed for sleeping rather than lounging, with blackout blinds, organic toiletries and thorough soundproofing.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Facing the legendary Killiney Kopitiam, the hotel anchors a quiet foodie enclave just off the Orchard retail belt and Somerset MRT.
The rooms
Compact, soundproofed spaces feature Looney Tunes bedside lamps, Peranakan-patterned carpets, and Dyson dryers, with select rooms offering bunk beds.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Two mosaic-tiled plunge pools sit on the roof, ringed by yellow-striped umbrellas and views over Orchard.
Dogs stay too.
Mama Restaurant & Island Bar
Curved zebra banquettes sit beneath hand-painted ceiling murals, with a menu spanning smashed cheeseburgers and Kaluga caviar sliders.
At the table
Mama's Kiss pours morning coffee at a red lucky-cat mosaic counter, and the rooftop bar mixes sunset cocktails.
How it began
The French lifestyle brand made its Asian debut here, transforming the site of the former Tai Wah Building into a playful outpost.
