“The owner’s and architects’ deep appreciation and respect for the inherent qualities of this development have made this collaboration a winner from the start. Ten outstanding specimens of ornate Late to Art Deco shophouse-style buildings, circa 1900 to 1940s, have been imaginatively transformed into a regal boutique hotel where vintage charm has checked in for a long-term stay”

Our hip ‘hood

As one of Singapore's oldest urban quarters, Kampong Gelam has a history that dates back to Singapore’s colonial era—marked by royal drama, imperial power struggle, nation building, global trade, religion, intellectualism, and the stories of a people who would live through it all.

The Sultan is the perfect base for you to take a trip back in time to discover the storied and colourful history of Time Out’s 29th coolest neighbourhood in the world!

Just a stone’s throw away, Singapore’s Little India district is a colourful blend of new and old, with contemporary street art and hip eateries sitting alongside age-old temples and vendors selling a tantalising mix of spices, silk and flowers.
