Singapore sees debut of Mondrian hotels with the opening of the 302-room Singapore Duxton.

Mondrian Hotels has unveiled its latest property, which is also the first property in Singapore.

According to a press statement, nestled in the heart of Singapore’s Duxton Hill, the 302-room Mondrian Singapore Duxton is a testament to Mondrian’s commitment to creating boundary-pushing, immersive experiences, rooted in art, design and culture.

The statement adds that the hotel’s interior design showcases a perfect harmony between contemporary and traditional elements, seamlessly blending Singapore’s rich heritage with modern sophistication alongside an impressive collection of private artworks including Ian Davenport, Dawn Ng, and André Wee.

The hotel group says that one of the hotel’s standout features is its collaboration with Los Angeles-based Studio Carter renowned for an inventive approach to design. Guests will find themselves immersed in the “deconstructed shophouse chic” concept, where traditional ‘shophouses’ synonymous with the Duxton Hill area of Singapore are reimagined to create captivating and unique interior design throughout.

The hotel says it boasts of a cinematic rooftop pool and eclectic collection of bars and restaurants redefining the notion of gastronomic excellence. It adds that it’s restaurant Bottega di Carna offers a modern Italian experience with a rebellious spin, presided over by the world-renowned butcher, Dario Cecchini.

For those seeking a truly immersive experience, the Jungle Ballroom is accessible through a secret tunnel and celebrates the vibrant, wild nature of Southeast Asia, it claims.

Rising above historic and colorful Chinatown with sweeping views of the glittering city skyline, the hotel is a stone’s throw from the Central Business District. Backtrack 100 years and the notorious streets of Duxton Hill were filled with adventurers and thrill seekers searching for a taste of the forbidden, says the hotel.

The aroma of spices and sounds of the illicit permeated the air. Today, Duxton Hill is Singapore’s most up-and-coming neighbourhood featuring barista cafes, Michelin-starred eateries, bars, art galleries and independent boutiques.

“Mondrian Singapore Duxton truly engrained itself in its surrounding neighborhood and culture from the day it was announced. Now open, they can contribute to that dialogue, with forward-thinking design, immersive art, and a standout culinary program, brought to life by a team with undeniable character and boundless creativity. As we introduce the Mondrian guest journey across Asia, the Singapore Duxton location demonstrates how we create authentic cultural expressions in every destination by fostering a sense of community,” says Chadi Farhat, Brand COO for Mondrian at Ennismore.

Robert C. Hauck, General Manager of Mondrian Singapore Duxton, envisions the property as ‘the beating heart of the extraordinary city’, a catalyst for forging connections with innovators and like-minded individuals. Boasting a team of ‘unexpected talents,’ Mondrian Singapore Duxton brings together an all-star cast of iconoclasts and change-makers from the realms of hospitality, culinary, design, fashion, nightlife, and art.

To celebrate its opening, Mondrian Singapore Duxton is offering a “Provocative Opening Offer” celebrating the dreamers, rebels, and wild at heart, says the hotel group.

Guests can take advantage of this special package, which includes a 30 pc  discount off the best available rate on rooms or suites, complimentary breakfasts, guaranteed late checkout, and a SGD 30 Mondrian credit to enjoy at the hotel’s eclectic bars and restaurants value valid for overnights from USD 280.
