Macalister Mansion's owners worked with Colin Seah of Singapore's Ministry of Design to renovate a 100-year-old colonial mansion, preserving the building's heritage while adding modern-day amenities and contemporary design touches. Each of the 8 rooms has different features and artwork, from love sonnet in the Bridal Suite to the Grace Tan textile piece in Room 7 that pays tribute to the colors of the Macalister clan. The rest of the hotel is equally thought-out: two restaurants, a mosaic lap pool has a 'swim-up' bar attached, and visitors to The Cellar can enjoy a glass of fine wine or champagne.
