SINGAPORE STAYCATION: New Majestic Hotel

WHERE New Majestic Hotel is housed in a conservation shophouse in the heart of Chinatown.

WHY STAY From the open concept lobby with restored vintage Compton fans and the selection of 1920s to 1960s colonial furniture, to the dramatic pool with glass inserts floating above the restaurant, New Majestic presents nostalgic chic injected with modern influences. Thanks to a collaboration with Asian Art Options, works by Singapore's emerging artists help give the hotel a mod-Chinese, eclectic feel.
          Each of New Majestic's 30 rooms is different - from the mix of vintage and designer furniture through to customised baths. Highlights include suites with private gardens and attic-style rooms with loft beds and six-metre high ceilings. Enjoy unlimited wireless broadband and Kiehl's toiletries.
          Feast on modern Cantonese cuisine at Majestic Restaurant - helmed by award-winning chef Yong Bing Ngen.

DAMAGE From $400.
