The Mondrian Singapore Duxton opens, marking the brand’s entry into Southeast Asia, and the Mondrian period begins in the Lion City. The Mondrian Singapore Duxton towers above the colourful and historic Chinatown shophouses and brings its distinctive blend of art, glitz, and culinary flare to the thriving Duxton Hill neighbourhood. It offers expansive views of the sparkling skyline. A short distance from the CBD, the hotel encourages visitors and residents to unwind in its 302 guestrooms and shophouse suites, panoramic rooftop pool, and four electric restaurants and bars before exploring the neighbourhood.
The newest hospitality concept in Singapore invites dreamers, artists, rebels, and free-thinkers to explore their new spiritual home and serves as a portal to all that the city’s posh, art-forward Duxton neighbourhood has to offer. Visitors get the opportunity to interact with a group of “unexpected talents,” including Mondrian’s endearing all-star cast of iconoclasts and innovators from the hospitality, culinary, design, fashion, nightlife, and art industries, who are committed to providing hospitality unlike any other. As visitors unwind, find inspiration, and get ready to experience a world of design, art, fashion, and pure cool, they serve as hosts and guides to everything Mondrian and Duxton Hill have to offer.
The resort, which offers a sense of “deconstructed shophouse chic,” was created by Los Angeles-based hotshop Studio Carter and is inspired by the heritage conservation area’s unusual architecture and vibrant melting pot of cultures. When visitors discover that the traditional foyer has been replaced with a bustling restaurant and bar, they will realise they have arrived somewhere exceptional. Go out and discover the latte cafes, Michelin-starred restaurants, hip pubs, avant-garde galleries, and independent shops in the Duxton neighbourhood.
Mondrian is a cutting-edge culinary destination created for both locals and visitors from around the world to enjoy. A new structure with modern, contemporary inspirations blends historic architecture from Singapore’s centuries-old shophouses with a restaurant, cocktail bar, café and rooftop restaurant and bar.
Dario Cecchini, the best butcher in the world, is in charge of the flagship restaurant, Bottega di Carna, a contemporary Italian bistro with a rebellious twist and a hint of Tuscany. Prime cuts of the best meats dangle like diamonds in display cases, while Executive Chef Alastair Clayton, Chef de Cuisine Kenny Huang, and their dream staff add drama to the open kitchen.
The Jungle Ballroom is a tropical cocktail bar rooted in the lush richness of Southeast Asia that pulses with brilliant elegance and celebrates the ultra-vibrant and untamed nature of the region. It is accessible through a hidden tunnel. A location serving inventive and traditional drinks and mixology excursions while providing views of the surrounding beautiful jungle through a submerged lava stone bar.
By day, Christina’s provides a haven from the city’s bustle while selling coffee made by talented baristas. The area is transformed into a passionate wine, cocktail, and shared plates refuge at night. These dishes are created with love and in collaboration with some of Singapore’s top local artisans. The ideal location to plan your creative or business coup.
Guests are transported to the glitz and glamour of 1970s Hollywood at Canyon Club by the Rooftop Bar and Poolside Cabanas, which are encircled by expansive cinematic vistas of the shimmering Singapore skyline. The centrepieces of this California-inspired menu are the fresh, seafood-focused dishes and the vibrantly created beverages.
The brand has always been about reshaping and defining the areas in which they are found, from the original Mondrian situated in the centre of the Los Angeles Strip to properties in New York, Miami, London, Cannes, Doha, and Seoul. Since their debut in LA in 1996, Mondrian Hotels have been distinguished by the calibre of their staff and a dedication to originality, innovation, and the arts.
