The Best Hotels In Singapore’s Chinatown Area

Located on Keong Saik Road and surrounded by a host of restaurants and bars, KINN Studios is a brand new boutique hotel designed to cater to solo adventurers, young travellers, and leisure enthusiasts seeking a balance of affordability and sophistication.

Inside the four-story heritage building you’ll find three room types, each catering to a different experience. The Cosy Rooms provide an idyllic retreat amidst the vibrant city streets and are perfect for anyone who enjoys natural light and vibrant streets, while the Ground Rooms, which are also wheelchair friendly, provide easy access to the communal dining area and lounge. If you prefer to be cocooned in your own world with an extra layer of privacy, the Hideaway Rooms are a great option as they are neatly tucked away on the top floor.

A place to refresh your mind, body and soul, KINN Studios also places a significant focus on holistic wellness and is working with Safe Space, an online/offline mental health counselling service provider in Singapore, to provide you with access to therapy sessions to help counter any travel anxieties and worries. Within your room, you will also get to use and keep a specially designed KINN Pocket Serenity wellness booklet featuring bite-sized words of affirmation and personal journaling prompts.

Nestled on the outskirts of the historic Telok Ayer sub-district of Chinatown and within minutes of the central business district, Ann Siang House is a restored heritage building fusing local history with modern design.

Each of the property's 20 well-appointed rooms are fully furnished with the comforts of home and designed with smart features that enable an all-inclusive lifestyle concept combining work and play. If you’re planning on staying a while, the Studio Executive room comes complete with a fully stocked kitchenette boasting quality cooking equipment from Le Creuset and Jamie Oliver, along with Crate & Barrel utensils. Alternatively, the Deluxe rooms are ideal for those seeking an overnight or weekend taste of the city.

Aptly located within Far East Square, a collection of heritage conservation shophouses in the heart of the Central Business District and along the original shoreline where early migrants first landed, AMOY Hotel is a tribute to the area’s trading past.

As part of AMOY Hotel’s authentic experience, you enter the property via Fuk Tak Chi, Singapore’s first street museum that was formerly a temple and the headquarters for the Hakka and Cantonese communities in the 1800s. Inspired by the stories of Singapore’s early Chinese immigrants, the interiors of the hotel are designed to mirror their lives, love and tribulations with a modern contemporary twist. 

The hotel’s intricate interior design is tailored to enhance each room’s unique layout, ensuring that no two rooms are alike. In addition to distinct blueprints, each room is decorated with a Chinese family name on the door, an ode to the contribution of Singapore’s early migrants who lived around the area. The Cosy Single room, fitted with a modern oriental day bed is perfect for solo travellers, while the Deluxe Double is fitted with a queen bed. All rooms showcase heritage accents and thoughtful touches like traditional Chinese stools and porcelain basins. 

Packed with smart design and space-saving solutions, you’ll find KēSa House in the heart of vibrant Chinatown. With vaulted ceilings and a perfectly placed skylight for stargazing, the deluxe room is all you need for a short, cosy getaway.

Designed around the idea of connectivity, the fully equipped Kēsa kitchen is on standby for culinary creations big and small, while the Kēsa terrace is ready to welcome you for a sundowner after the day’s adventures.

Rich in Chinese culture, the Duxton Reserve, Autograph Collection is a smaller, boutique-style hotel. Each of the 49 rooms were meticulously designed by Anouska Hempel, and no matter the room you choose you’ll get to experience her genius.

Our picks have to be the Opium Room and Opium Suite—both dark and moody, they reflect Singapore’s rich cultural history, just with all the comforts of today. The onsite Yellow Pot restaurant and bar dishes out contemporary Chinese in a traditional, opulent setting.

Set within six historical shophouses in Chinatown, Hotel Mono offers stylish comfort without the hefty price tag. Each of the 46 rooms have been beautifully restored while retaining original charm thanks to characteristic air wells and Rococo-era windows. The Deluxe Double features a queen-sized bed, mini fridge and big windows that look down onto the busy street below.

Thanks to its convenient location, this effortlessly chic hotel is perfect for leisure travellers who want to be in the heart of the action while still having a tranquil spot to rest their head at night.

A tropical escape in the heart of Chinatown, Hotel Soloha is an Instagrammers dream. Every nook and cranny is decked out with bespoke artisan furnishings, neon lights, and wild artwork. Of the 45 rooms available, we recommend the Outdoor Suite which comes complete with your own private outdoor space and bathtub. Although you will have to be quick as these rooms get booked up fast.

The hotel also has a multitude of social spaces including a bar-reception, rooftop courtyard, and a games room should you fancy getting to know your fellow travellers.
