1. First Impressions
Six Senses may be known for their gorgeous beach resorts, but their first city hotel in Singapore has no shortage of Instagram-worthy spots. Located in the bustling Duxton enclave, the property spans across a row of shophouses that have been carefully restored. The conservation project, which took about two years to complete, has even been recognized by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in Singapore and given an Architectural Heritage Award.
Step inside and you’ll be instantly transported to another realm, thanks to the beautiful space that interior designer Anouska Hempel has dreamed up. Marigold yellow furnishings boldly contrast with large golden fans and jet black finishings, creating a fantastical wonderland that is at once elegant, yet cosy.
