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.
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.
Escape the city’s hustle and bustle in exclusive spaces thoughtfully designed for guests. The Garden Terrace on level 3 invites quiet moments, doubling as an intimate event space. Ascend to the Rooftop Infinity Pool & Lounge, featuring Singapore’s first exposed stainless-steel pool, offering breathtaking skyline views of Marina Bay.
At 21 Carpenter, hospitality is an art form. Guided by the philosophy ‘Thoughtfully Yours,’ the hotel promises seamless check-ins, friendly welcomes, and a team ready to offer recommendations for exploring nearby gems. The Linus bicycles provided by the hotel become your gateway to discovering the river and Marina Bay.
A culinary revolution awaits at Kee’s, the Neo-Bistro & Bar set to launch in early 2024. Helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Andrew Walsh, Kee’s pays homage to the building’s 1936 roots as Chye Hua Seng Wee Kee. This European-inspired bistro promises a delectable fusion of flavors, enticing both guests and locals to linger over comforting food, wines, and cocktails.
Dive into Singapore’s rich art scene with an extensive collection curated by The Artling, featuring both emerging and established local artists. From Heman Chong’s captivating tapestry in the Lobby to Dawn Ang’s hand-drawn charcoal mural on the Rooftop Infinity Pool & Lounge, every corner tells a story. Local names and brands, such as Floral Kokoro and In Good Company, contribute to the hotel’s unique charm.
