Amoy

Chinatown & the CBD


Not many hotels are accessed through a historic Chinese temple, but the Amoy is no ordinary slumber pad. History inspires this contemporary belle, from the lobby feature wall displaying old Singaporean Chinese surnames to custom-made opium beds in the cleverly configured 'Cosy Single' rooms. Plush doubles include Ming-style porcelain basins, and all rooms please with designer bathroom, Nespresso machine and complimentary minibar.

If you've got large bags with you, it's best to enter via the flat walkway beside the Dean & Deluca food store.
