Scarlet

Chinatown & the CBD


Dark, luscious Scarlet offers great service and svelte rooms just around the corner from drinking hot spots Ann Siang Rd and Club St. In opulent jewel colour schemes – sapphire blues and ruby reds – the chic rooms feature silky wallpaper and dark Oriental furniture. There are also five plush suites to tempt you; the 'lavish' boasts a Hästens bed valued at S$38,500!

Although rooms on the 1st floor don't have windows, high ceilings and skylights render them far from gloomy. Check the hotel website, as discounts are common.
