What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, The 50 Discovery, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Inside, however, designers Studio Carter have paid plentiful tribute to heritage Singaporean architectural styles, most obviously in the Shophouse Suites…
“Similarly to its neighbouring restaurant, the Kengo Kuma-designed Suzuki Omakase, Araya delivers an intimate dining room designed by the Australia-born, Singapore-based designer Emma Maxwell.”
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Duxton Hill unfolds from the doorstep, lined with conserved shophouses, independent boutiques, and some of the city's most celebrated cocktail dens.
The rooms
Shophouse Suites adapt heritage architecture with vaulted ceilings and arched wooden shutters, framing views across Chinatown to the financial district.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Pink-and-white striped loungers line the rooftop infinity pool, looking straight out over Chinatown's tiled roofs toward downtown skyscrapers.
The gym
Floor-to-ceiling windows bring neighborhood rooftop views to the fourth-floor fitness centre, equipped with Technogym cardio machines and free weights.
Restaurant
Bottega di Carna
Conceived with Tuscan butcher Dario Cecchini, this skylit dining room serves Italian steakhouse classics beside floor-to-ceiling garden views.
each room feels like a serene, ultra-modern retreat, with clean lines, stainless steel accents, minimalist lighting and wood-panelled walls softened by touches of green marble
Bar
Jungle Ballroom
Entered through a concealed neon corridor, this late-night den shakes botanical cocktails beneath illuminated spirits shelves and spiral lights.
At the table
Christina's serves specialty coffee beneath a prism chandelier by day, transitioning into natural wines and small plates after dark.
How it began
Rising above Duxton Hill on a former plaza site, the property translates historic Singaporean shophouse vernacular into a contemporary glass tower.
“Designed by Los Angeles–based Studio Carter with art curated by online gallery the Artling, the hotel’s interiors are akin to a contemporary gallery space.”
