The Sultan  

In the heart of Kampong Glam, Singapore — a shop-house style boutique hotel steps from Bugis Street and Haji Lane. A short ride reaches Suntec City, Singapore Flyer, Mustafa Centre, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay.

Heritage shop-house architecture meets modern boutique style. Around 60 individually decorated rooms mean no two stays are the same, with minibars, flat-screen TVs, safes and desks. Bathrooms feature rainfall showerheads and designer toiletries, and the prized main lobby building even appeared on a 1996 Singapore postage stamp.

Take in city views from a rooftop terrace, lounge at one of two bars, or unwind at the on-site White Label restaurant. Complimentary wired and wireless high-speed internet, concierge service, limo/town-car options, room service (limited hours), complimentary newspapers, and laundry/dry cleaning keep things easy.

Complimentary high-speed (wired and wireless) internet and a reception hall for events. Concierge and a tour assistance desk help arrange transfers and local bookings.

The White Label serves lunch and dinner and the hotel’s two bars pour local flavors and cocktails. Buffet breakfasts are available daily for a fee, and limited-hours room service covers late-night cravings.
