The Warehouse Hotel was built in 1895 along the Singapore River as part of the Straits of Malacca trade route. At that time, the area was a hotbed of secret societies, underground activity, and liquor distilleries. Today, while much of that history has disappeared, The Warehouse Hotel has been meticulously restored as a modern 37-room boutique hotel, focusing on heritage and local culture. Open as of January 2017, it delivers thoughtful hospitality with historically-detailed rooms, classic local dishes, and craft cocktails in the vibrant neighborhood of Robertson Quay.
Comments
This building has a healthy resume to itself. Having a history of over a century, this is probably one of the most versatile ones you will ever come across- legal and otherwise.
It is known to have been a warehouse (as the name suggests), a spice trading hub, a rather clandestine spot for brewing alcohol, and even a raving discotheque in the 1980s.
The hotel is home to a rooftop infinity pool constructed by the artist Dawn NG with a grand view of the Singapore River.
Apart from the regular rooms which are already state of the art, if you book The River View Suite, you are setting yourself up to be spoilt.
With a generous 57 sq m space coupled with a stylish bathroom, high ceilings, and the original brick walls of the warehouse, this room is a must-have for anyone looking to give themselves a (not so) little treat.
