Charm of Singapore’s Shophouses

For guests unfamiliar with Singapore’s unique architectural heritage, our hotel is lovingly housed within a restored shophouse. These iconic two-to-three-story terraced buildings traditionally served as both commercial spaces on the ground floor and residences above.

Heritage Collection is renowned for its expertise in the restoration and adaptive reuse of these heritage buildings, breathing new life into their historic structures while preserving their unique character. While modern Singapore boasts impressive skyscrapers, our commitment to conserving these historical shophouses means we diligently maintain their original architecture.

An important aspect of this authentic experience is that our buildings are walk-up establishments, meaning there are no elevators. We invite you to embrace the traditional charm of a shophouse stay, where each step on the stairs brings you closer to a unique and culturally immersive experience in the heart of Singapore’s rich past.
