Nestled amidst Orchard Road's bustling boulevard, the Goodwood Park Hotel is a place synonymous with heritage and old-world grandeur. Built in 1900 and having celebrated its 120th birthday last year, the hotel—which was once an enclave for elite German expatriates—once served luminaries such as Ronald Reagan, Roald Dahl and Muhammad Ali as guests. 

The hotel has recently completed a contemporary refresh earlier this year. The revamp saw Singapore-based architectural firm Ernesto Bedmar Architects transform a series of guest rooms and suites, which include the deluxe premium rooms and poolside suites. The rooms now boast a storied combination of modern influences that are paired with the hotel's timeless appeal. A light and earthy colour palette create a soothing ambience, while white quartz and bronze fittings deliver luxury and polish. Classic herringbone parquet flooring is paired with natural wood and fabrics such as handwoven jute rugs for a cosy atmosphere. 

Each room also features various black-and-white photographs from Singapore-based French artist Gilles Massot; the photos depict scenes from Singapore's earlier years, adding a sense of nostalgia to the space. 

Since its debut in 2009, Capella Singapore has made a name for itself as one of Singapore’s best luxury resorts to unwind at. First designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord Norman Foster and the late Indonesian hospitality designer Jaya Ibrahim, the idyllic retreat recently underwent a year-long renovation by Hong Kong-based practice André Fu Studio.

Nestled deep within Sentosa island, the tropical resort now boasts 110 refurbished suites and villas. Exuding a warm elegance, the refreshed colour palette features calming tones and green accents that are drawn from the surrounding lush foliage. The rooms feature custom furnishings and fixtures that combine tropical elements with mid-century influences, creating an elegant interior that cocoons you with serenity and peace.

Under One Farrer Hotel’s multi-brand concept, Mint Hotel opened in December last year with Covid-19 health considerations at the forefront of the hotel’s design. Around $2 million was spent refurbishing the hotel’s newly-launched category of rooms, facilities and processes, with input from medical experts.

The hotel features 176 rooms; each room contains anti-viral wall coverings and paint, as well as anti-microbial gapless vinyl flooring and roller blind fabrics. Whilst the hotel has chosen to furnish its interiors with antivirus, antibacterial and antimicrobial materials to mitigate the spread of disease, rooms are still warmly designed with a chic and stylish flair.

Situated at an intersection between culture and commerce, this hotel located in the heritage-filled Telok Ayer district aims to offer a modern cultural experience. The 324-room luxury hotel obtained its namesake from the historic clan associations located along Amoy Street.

Rich with culture and personality, the hotel is both stylish and charming with its thoughtful cues to its neighbourhood. Heritage details and cultural artifacts can be found throughout, ranging from Chinese tea sets in the lobby to contemporary oriental lamps in individual rooms. These are curated and contributed by The Clan Collective, a group consisting of local craftsmen as well as cultural curators.
