When you think of a ‘Hotel’, you probably think of a sprawling building, with various rooms and perfectly manicured interiors. In a place like Singapore, which is buzzing with tourists, it is also perfectly normal to see 4 to 5 star hotels around the city. However, did you know that Singapore is also home to some quirky and niche boutique hotels as well?
For starters, boutique hotels are independently run and do not have a ‘chain of hotels’ that are run across the world. Perhaps this is what sets them apart because no two boutique hotels are ever the same. The trend of boutique hotels first started in the 1980s and 1990s, and it has only become more prevalent since then because of their appeal in creating a unique ambience from unconventional designs.
Whether it is for a short staycation or a long break away from work and home, STYLEGUIDE has curated a list of the best boutique hotels in Singapore that for that perfect stay you're looking for.
