InterContinental Singapore has fully re-opened (in the wake of Covid-19). This heritage hotel at shopping Mecca Bugis is among the finest five-star establishments around, where one can experience and live a Peranakan life! Because this Singapore/Straits-unique and treasured heritage is preserved in this hotel’s Peranakan influences.
Singapore’s only Peranakan-inspired luxury hotel comes with décor reflecting its distinctive Peranakan architecture , ornate art and tapestry. And it comes with a Club Lounge that resembles no other in terms of the decoration and furniture. The Club InterContinental Lounge is a private enclave that displays rich Peranakan culture throughout its spacious interiors featuring exquisite fabrics, elegant furniture and a fascinating collection of arts and artefacts.
In addition the hotel offers Heritage Rooms (40), Heritage Suites (12) and Club Heritage Rooms (13) located in the Heritage Wing. Reminiscent of shophouse living, the rooms and suites of the hotel preserve the style of shophouses from the 1920s as an integral feature of the hotel’s design. A series of Straits Chinese-inspired spaces, representative architecture that includes timber floorings and duck egg blue panelling as well as louvered windows and wooden shutters overlooking the streets below, evokes the lifestyle of a bygone era and is aptly-suited for an experience of traditional culture and life of settlers who once lived in the vibrant area.
