Step Back in Time at 21 Carpenter Heritage Boutique Hotel; set to open late Q4 2023

Are you a traveler who revels in the charm of historic architecture and the allure of timeless elegance? If so, you’re in for a treat as Carpenter, a heritage boutique hotel, is set to open its doors in late Q4 2023. Nestled between the vibrant nightlife of Clarke Quay and the old-world charm of Chinatown, this centrally-located gem is developed by conservation specialists 8M Real Estate.

A Historical Gem

21 Carpenter is a testament to the power of collaborative efforts, bringing together local and international partners renowned for their contributions to design, art, and dining. Notably, the hotel showcases the architectural expertise of the award-winning firm WOHA in restoring the historic building. Adding to its prestige, the hotel is proudly a member of Design Hotels, affiliated with Marriott Bonvoy.

Steeped in history and architectural significance, this 48-room development breathes new life into the former Remittance House, Chye Hua Seng Wee Kee, dating back to 1936. WOHA has masterfully blended tradition and innovation while incorporating thoughtful design elements into the row of four heritage shophouses.

Two Wings to Choose From

21 Carpenter comprises two distinct wings:

The Heritage Wing: This wing features 26 rooms in the conserved building, allowing guests to immerse themselves in the rich history of Singapore.

The Urban Wing: A contemporary five-story extension offers an additional 22 rooms. These generously sized rooms range from 30 to 56 square meters, ensuring ample space for a comfortable stay.

Unwind with a View

One of the highlights of the property is the rooftop infinity pool and lounge, which offers breathtaking views across the city and Marina Bay. There’s also a garden terrace on the third level, providing a peaceful oasis amidst the bustling city.

Culinary Delights

For food enthusiasts, 21 Carpenter will feature an independent neo-bistro and bar, with the talented Michelin-starred chef Andrew Walsh at the helm as the Culinary Director. Situated at the corner of Carpenter Street and New Bridge Road, this street-level neighborhood venue is poised to become a destination for the modern-day epicurean. The space is designed for one to linger longer, and diners can expect elevated renditions of timeless classics in hearty portions. The venue is scheduled to open in Q1 2024.

Sustainable Luxury

In keeping with the brand’s core pillar of sustainability, 21 Carpenter has been meticulously restored using many of the original features of the building. Crafted for the contemporary luxury traveler, the property’s interior combines heritage and modern design, featuring commissioned art by renowned local artists, carefully curated by The Artling. Amenities and in-room touches will also embrace the talents of local creators, ensuring an authentic and immersive experience for the most discerning of travelers.
