What they say
Michelin Selected

On Cross Street in Singapore's Central Business District, where Chinese settlers first established the clan associations that shaped the city's early identity, this hotel has built its entire character around that founding story.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in Far East Square, the property sits steps from Telok Ayer shophouse eateries, cocktail lounges, and Chinatown heritage temples.
The rooms
Sleek, dark-toned rooms look out over historic shophouses, while Master Series rooms add dedicated Clan Keeper butler service.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The gym
The 30th-floor fitness room equips cardio rows with custom Wing Chun wooden dummies and heavy punching pillars.
QĪN Restaurant
Floor-to-ceiling windows look over Telok Ayer shophouses, and the mezzanine cocktail bar sits above wooden apothecary cabinets.
The crisp, air-conditioned space clad in cool black volcanic stone works like a shield from the heat and hustle of the busy streets outside.
How it began
Built on Cross Street where early Chinese settlers founded mutual-aid clans, the modern tower celebrates that immigrant heritage through curated cultural partnerships.
