The 'New Asia' style of hospitality finds one of its most rarefied expressions in the New Majestic, located in the heart of Singapore's Chinatown. An open-concept, period-inspired lobby shows the imaginative possibilities of this marriage of the old and the new, or 'heritage chic', as the hotel calls its particular design, which also takes into account its period furniture dating from the 1920s to the 1960s.
Individually designed rooms, 30 in all, continue the mix of vintage and designer furniture, customized baths, private gardens and six-metre high ceilings in attic-style suites. Back downstairs, The Majestic Restaurant is a sleek reinterpretation of one of Singapore's favourite Chinese dining rooms and serves modern Cantonese cuisine.
