SIX SENSES DUXTON, SINGAPORE

Six Senses Hotels Resorts Spas has opened its first of two city hotels in Singapore – Six Senses Duxton.  Located in the heart of Singapore’s Chinatown, this remarkable conservation project will be split across two locations – the second, Six Senses Maxwell, is slated to open in September 2018 – and sees the restoration of two existing heritage buildings; the last to be developed in the city.  Six Senses Duxton, which opened on 14th April 2018, offers eclectic interiors by one of the world’s most iconic hotel designers, Anouska Hempel – acclaimed for The Hempel Hotel and Blakes in London.  While each building will have its own distinct personality, guests will be able to enjoy the facilities at both properties and use them as the perfect base to explore Singapore’s vibrant culture.  Six Senses has curated a community of local businesses for guests to tap into whilst staying at the newly opened Six Senses Duxton, whether a local yoga studio or fresh juice bar.  This will be an opportunity to get under the skin of Singapore as a tourist like never before.  In addition to design, priority for Six Senses is its ongoing commitment to authenticity and responsible preservation.  In recognition of this, both properties have already received the ‘Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Heritage Award’.  The hotels will also launch a new sustainability programme that will make them carbon-free after purchasing United Nations-certified carbon credits, while standing to save up to 20% in energy costs.

  • Located in old Chinatown’s Tanjong Pagar, Six Senses Duxton has been sustainably restored under British designer Anouska Hempel.  In harmony with the area’s rich Asian history, yet still presenting her luminary vision, Anouska has given each of the 49 guestrooms and suites complete individuality
  • In the lobby, guests are welcomed by large golden fans and strong hues of black, gold and yellow, layered with Oriental screens and calligraphy wallpaper from Anouska’s personal collection
  • Gold takes centre stage in the restaurant, which will offer a fine dining menu of classic and innovative Chinese cuisine
  • Adjacent is an antiquarian library-themed lobby bar serving up the hotel’s signature Yellow Peril house cocktail of hot whisky, brandy and absinth, crowned with a yellow chrysanthemum
  • With Singapore being at Asia’s crossroads and interchange to the world, Hempel has worked within the restrictions of a heritage building and variations of room size to successfully express her vision throughout the hotel – from a magnificent Kimono Suite to smaller spaces that she refers to as petit grandeur, elegant bespoke furnishings and the designer ambience typify the experience in every way
  • A property highlight is the appointment of a traditional Chinese doctor offering readings, health recommendations and a medicinal herbal dispensary

HOW: Rates at Six Senses Duxton start from SGD 390++ (currently approx. £208) in an entry-level Nutmeg Room, room only.  Rates for Six Senses Maxwell to be confirmed ahead of opening.  Jacques Garcia, famed for his work including The Peninsula Paris and Hôtel Costes, has designed the second Singapore property Six Senses Maxwell, which will open in September 2018.  www.sixsenses.com
