If you ever get tired and need a rest,

The Sultan


Check out The Sultan! It is a 64-room shop house style boutique hotel, located in the heart of the culturally rich Kampong Glam. Preserved and recreated (under the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA)) from traditional Singaporean shop houses, it retains many unique architectural features that remind us of a time in Singapore's past when Kampong Glam was a lively shopping and trading quarter.

The distinctive building which houses its main lobby is so valued for its historical and cultural significance, and architectural exquisiteness that it has been featured on a 1996 Singapore postage stamp. The Sultan is an example of an important part of Kampong Glam’s identity, having been conserved and put to good use after so many years. Used as a hotel, it also educates tourists on Kampong Glam’s history, and is something Singaporeans and residents of Kampong Glam are proud of.
