Vintage Southeast Asian Style Meets Michelin-Starred Cuisine at a Hidden Gem in the City Center

This time, I stayed at the InterContinental Singapore and was completely amazed by its vintage Southeast Asian charm! Located in the Bugis district, the hotel boasts an incredibly convenient location—just a 5-minute walk to the MRT station and only two stops away from Marina Bay Sands, making it perfect for independent travelers. ✨ A perfect blend of vintage and modern The hotel was originally a historic building and has been renovated to retain its Southeast Asian design. The lobby is filled with Peranakan elements, from the paintings to the furniture, all exuding a sense of quality. Every snapshot here looks like a vintage masterpiece! Rooms start at 38㎡, which is quite spacious by Singapore standards. The amenities feature Byredo's "Bal d'Afrique" series, with a unique and delightful fragrance. 🍽️ Michelin-recommended dining The hotel's "Man Fu Yuan" restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide and specializes in exquisite Cantonese cuisine. The West Lake Longjing Tea Duck is highly recommended! Breakfast is served at the Italian restaurant LUCE, offering a wide variety of options, including authentic laksa and Indian dishes—perfect for fueling up before heading out to explore. 🏊♀️ Rooftop pool + Executive Lounge The rooftop pool may not be large, but it offers a relaxing environment, complete with a nearby bar for a casual drink. The Executive Lounge serves an elegant afternoon tea with a three-tiered selection of treats paired with champagne, adding a touch of ceremony to your stay. 📍 Great spots to explore nearby The hotel is directly connected to Bugis Junction Mall, and nearby attractions include Arab Street and Haji Lane, perfect for artsy exploration. In the evening, you can head to Clarke Quay for a night cruise along the Singapore River.
