Its rooms take inspiration from the early Chinese settlers, pairing modern fittings such as minibars, TVs and in-room Wi-Fi with traditional Chinese architectural touches, and the building retains a former temple entrance. Dining is handled on site, with two restaurants and two coffee shops, and guests also have use of an infinity pool. It suits travellers who want a characterful, culturally rooted base within walking reach of Chinatown and close to public transport for Marina Bay Sands. The lobby is generally considered a little dated, and booking.com scores suggest some guests find the experience uneven.What stands out
