Restored godown sanctuary

The rooms are pure modernity, adapted to their century-old shell; many are designed loft-style thanks to the pitched roofs of the original warehouses.
“the 37-room hotel was, at various stages in its history, a spice warehouse, moonshine stills and secret society HQs before a brief incarnation in the mid-1980s as a heaving disco.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly along Robertson Quay, the hotel connects quiet riverside walking paths with lively neighborhood cafes and wine bars.
The rooms
Lofted bedrooms feature original wooden beams and exposed brickwork, styled with custom copper shelving and leather upholstery.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Lined in salmon-pink tiles, the glass-sided infinity lap pool sits on the roof overlooking the Singapore River.
Restaurant
Po
Chef Willin Low elevates Singaporean classics here, serving charcoal-grilled Iberico satay beside curved cane screens and marble tables.
Occupies an iconic 1895 godown (warehouse) on the banks of Robertson Quay, many original elements of the building have been preserved with a contemporary update.
At the table
Under industrial spirit racks, the lobby bar pours cocktails inspired by the spice route and the building's disco era.
How it began
Built in 1895 along the spice trade route, the three godowns later housed an illicit distillery and a 1980s disco.
“An abandoned warehouse has been transformed into the Warehouse Hotel, a boutique property that blends industrial charm with a modern, soulful vibe.”
