Just a 20-minute drive from Singapore Changi Airport, Six Senses Duxton is a quaint 49-room heritage hotel nestled among the row of heritage trading houses between Tanjong Pagar and Chinatown. It is sustainably restored from one of these old trading houses, under the highly-acclaimed designer Anouska Hempel. In recognition of the remarkable conservation efforts, this up-and-coming hotel is also bestowed with the Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Heritage Award.
The hotel

The hotel interior is draped in beautiful hues of black, gold and yellow, evoking a neo-classical and elegant charm. Layers of oriental screens and calligraphy wallpapers from the designer’s treasured personal collection adorn the walls, while numerous large golden fans decorate the hotel’s ceiling.
