Nestled in the heart of Singapore's Duxton Hill, the 302-room Mondrian Singapore Duxton is a testament to Mondrian's commitment to creating boundary-pushing, immersive experiences rooted in art, design, and culture. The hotel's interior design showcases a perfect harmony between contemporary and traditional elements, seamlessly blending Singapore's rich heritage with modern sophistication, alongside an impressive collection of private artworks by Ian Davenport, André Wee, Tyler Shields, and Tracey Emin. Adding to the highlights is a 6-metre KAWS sculpture titled WHAT PARTY, prominently positioned at the hotel’s entrance.
One of the hotel's standout features is its collaboration with Los Angeles-based Studio Carter, renowned for an inventive approach to design. Guests will find themselves immersed in the "deconstructed shophouse chic" concept, where traditional 'shophouses' synonymous with the Duxton Hill area of Singapore are reimagined to create captivating and unique interior design throughout. The bold design and vibrancy extend to the cinematic rooftop pool and eclectic collection of bars and restaurants redefining the notion of gastronomic excellence.

Head up to Canyon Club on the top floor and find yourself instantly transported to the glitz and glamour of 1970s Hollywood.

For those seeking a truly immersive experience, the Jungle Ballroom is accessible through a secret tunnel and celebrates the vibrant, wild nature of Southeast Asia.
Rising above historic and colourful Chinatown with sweeping views of the glittering city skyline, the hotel is a stone's throw from the Central Business District.
