Heritage Chicat - Singapore's New Warehouse Hotel
World Travel|June - July 2017

Heritage Chicat - Singapore's New Warehouse Hotel

Dating back to 1895, the building was originally a warehouse or ‘godown’ situated along an infamous spice trade route on the Singapore River through times of secret societies, underground business and illegal liquor distilleries. Today it has been reinvented as a boutique Design TM hotel to a social media frenzy. So what makes this renovation so exciting? In a city of luxury hotels, a new arrival must offer something unique. My interest is piqued.
