There's no dearth of resplendent hotels steeped in history and character in Singapore, but the recently opened 21 Carpenter is giving some longstanding stalwarts a run for their ... rooms.
Located at the crossroads of Chinatown and the city-state's bustling Clarke Quay precinct, the hotel is housed in a former remittance house, dating back to the 1930s, and is home to 48 rooms, where heritage details such as original timber windows go hand in hand with cutting-edge flourishes - think Bang & Olufsen speakers and Dyson hair dryers.
Take in the magnificence of the property's historic slate-grey facade from the outside, then make your way to the lobby (pictured), where an explosion of colours and textures sets the scene for a memorable stay.
Guests enjoy services such as evening turn-down, 24-hour concierge and use of Linus Bikes, as well as the convenience of onsite Kee's bistro, where you can enjoy everything - from delicate tuna tartare to filling steaks. 21carpenter.com.sg
