The hotel
retains the
original
exterior of
the original
4 storey
walk up
shophouse
cum
residence.
It is under
conservation
from a past
era in
Singapore
that is
becoming all
too rare
these days.
Painted
white it
does not
hint of the
modern
interior.Can
be arguably
described as
a designer
boutique
hotel. It is
Singapore's
newest
little hip
hotel and is
setting the
standards in
a very
contrastingly
old
neighbourhood.
Couple and
gay
friendly, it
is also for
young and
trendy at a
very
reasonable
price.
Highly
recommended.
The hotel has managed to marry the old with the new. The rooms are definitely modern with white walls, flat panel TV and white bedding. The finishings are a cut above hotels of similar standards. The chair is a refurbish European desiger original from the owners collection. Bathrooms are an all glass affair with no screens. The rooms are furnished in either single or double only bed configuration (no twins) so is couple friendly. For the bold, the rooftop penthouse suite offers an outdoor bath bathtub for al fresco baths. Despite it size, the hotel has a deck with jacuzzi in the back.

Restaurants:
The
restaurant
Ember,
in
keeping
with the
mod look
of the
hotel
exudes
quality
and
style in
both the
food
(European
with
Asian
touches)
and
style.
It is
fine
dining
experience
but
without
the pain
on the
wallet.

Hotel
Lobby:
The
lobby is
small as
the
hotel is
small
with 32
rooms.
There is
a little
seating
area and
looks
more
like a
upmarket
furniture
shop
with
classic
pieces
of
European
designer
chairs
(as in
the
rooms)
and
designer
lighting.
To the
left is
the
restuarant
Ember.
The
liberal
use of
glass
and
mirrors
has
maximised
the
small
space. A
single
lift
services
the 4
floors.
Located in the colorful area
of Keong Siak Street and on
the fringe of Chinatown, the
buildings consist of pre-war
shop houses (aptly named
after its build date, 1929)
which is the alternative to
the ubiquitious glass and
concrete modern hotels.
