Walking Distance to the City

Both houses sit in the heart of Singapore, close to the business district and the main shopping belt. Each one is a short walk from the nearest rapid transit station and bus stops, which keeps the commute simple. Chinatown, Clarke Quay and the riverside are reachable on foot, while the arts district and Orchard Road sit within easy reach for shopping and dining. Visitors can reach Clarke Quay and the river promenade soon after checking in.

Two Central Houses

One house is an urban boutique with a compact collection of rooms on a central street, suited to guests who like a smaller feel. The larger house offers more rooms near the arts district and shopping belt, giving a broader choice for longer stays. Both houses share the same warm approach to hospitality and an emphasis on comfortable, modern amenities. Guests can pick the house that matches the length of their stay and the feel they want.
