Step into a world where heritage meets modernity at 21 Carpenter, the newly unveiled luxury hotel nestled in the heart of Singapore’s vibrant cityscape. On the historic grounds of the birthplace of banking in Singapore, this former remittance house has undergone a breathtaking transformation, thanks to the visionary touch of the renowned architectural firm WOHA. Join us on a journey through time, as we explore the captivating fusion of history and contemporary elegance that defines 21 Carpenter.
A Symphony of Design: Restoring Heritage, Embracing Modernity
Crafted across four meticulously preserved historic shophouses and a sleek five-storey extension, 21 Carpenter stands as a testament to architectural brilliance. WOHA’s restoration efforts paid homage to the building’s rich past, preserving the facade’s Shanghai plaster from the 1930s and the intricate Chinese characters listing remittance destinations. The juxtaposition of the Urban Wing’s modern aluminum art facade, featuring excerpts from original remittance letters, adds a poetic touch to the narrative.
Step inside, and you’ll find meticulously designed rooms that seamlessly blend the old and the new. WOHA’s custom-designed furniture, influenced by Asian design aesthetics, adorns the Heritage Wing’s 26 rooms, while the Urban Wing’s 22 contemporary rooms offer panoramic views of the city and bay through full-sized windows.
Elevated Experiences: Rooftop Bliss and Intimate Spaces

Culinary Delights: Kee’s Neo-Bistro & Bar
A culinary revolution awaits at Kee’s, the Neo-Bistro & Bar set to launch in early 2024.
