There’s a new hotel in town that sits along the meandering Singapore River, and it is aesthetically impressive.

You may have seen the meticulously-restored building while wandering the Robertson Quay district. Its exterior is eye-catching, for sure, with its white walls and symmetric facade no doubt passing for an Instagrammer’s dream. What you may not know, however, is that this riverside property embraces its unique history in the most elegant manner, something you will discover as you walk inside.

Throwing open its doors to the public following its grand restoration, this new 37-guest room establishment has all the workings of a modern-day designer hotel, while at the same time keeping true to Singapore’s rich heritage and culture. Striving for comfort and sophistication, the décor of this boutique hotel marries old-world charm and contemporary finesse to feature industrial-chic elements and a surprising vibrancy.

With guest rooms designed to compliment the building’s existing layout, each has its own different feel. High ceilings, muted tones, and unique ornaments will transport you to a bygone era, yet with modern luxuries that include a rooftop infinity swimming pool, a flagship restaurant spearheaded by Wild Rocket founder Chef Willin Low, and a signature lobby bar that showcases an in-house cocktail programme, The Warehouse Hotel strives to make every guest’s stay a memorable one.
