Six Senses has chosen Singapore to launch its first city hotels, set to open later in the year with a heritage focus.
Six Senses Singapore will be split into two buildings – both of which are restored as part of a conservation project – with Six Senses Duxton opening first in April 2018, followed by Six Senses Maxwell three months later.
Restored under designer Anoushka Hempel of London’s boutique Blakes Hotel acclaim, the building in Duxton will feature 49 guestrooms and suites, a restaurant, as well as a mix of Chinese, Malay and European style elements.
One highlight is the on-site traditional Chinese doctor offering readings, health recommendations and a medicinal herbal dispensary.
Meanwhile, Six Senses Maxwell will boast 138 guestrooms and suites, a Six Senses Spa, outdoor lap pool, champagne bar and lounge, whiskey bar, boardroom and club lounge. A verandah follows the length of the building and will serve as a space for refreshments and alfresco dining.
Guests at the hotels, situated a walking distance apart, can make use of all facilities and service in both properties.
Both properties will be launched bearing recognition from Singapore’s Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Heritage Award.
In case anyone forgot: Six Senses were managing the formerr Gallery Hotel Singapore, now re-built at Inter-Conti Robertson Quay in 2001 – 2002 or 2003. Quite a CITY Hotel.
