The Sultan Hotel
Historic boutique hotel housed in ten beautifully restored shophouses in Kampong Glam
The Sultan Heritage Hotel is a 61-room boutique hotel at 101 Jalan Sultan, created from 10 Grade A conservation shophouses in Kampong Gelam. Its buildings include the former HARMY Press and Al-Ahmadiah Press, and the hotel says no two rooms are exactly the same across its eight room categories. The property highlights restored Late Shophouse and Second Transitional Shophouse architectural details, including tall columns, wide arches and full-length shuttered French windows. It received the Urban Redevelopment Authority Architectural Heritage Award in 2012 for the conservation project.
