Situated at the intersection of Clarke Quay and Chinatown’s captivating charm, 21 Carpenter invites guests to immerse themselves in a smooth blend of classic style and contemporary flair. Crafted by WOHA Architects, this architectural gem breathes new life into four historic shophouses dating back to 1936, once home to Lee Wee Nam’s remittance office.
Stepping foot inside, guests are transported through time. Meticulously restored heritage structures stand in harmony alongside a bold, five-storey cubic extension reminiscent of Jenga blocks. The Heritage Wing exudes the charm of yesteryears, while the Urban Wing captivates with its contemporary allure, featuring airy spaces and sleek finishes.
Here, the past intertwines gracefully with the present across every corner of the property, where classic design elements seamlessly blend with modern comforts. Each of the 48 rooms offers a serene sanctuary, marrying timeless elegance with modern amenities.
At the heart of 21 Carpenter is Kee’s, a neo-bistro and bar that exceeds the ordinary to become a vibrating social hub. Under the direction of Michelin-starred Chef Andrew Walsh as the culinary director, Kee’s promises an unparalleled gastronomic experience. Here, European bistro classics mingle with local delicacies, meticulously curated to tantalise taste buds and awaken the senses.
