Six Senses Duxton is now open at 83 Duxton Road in historic Tanjong Pagar, Singapore’s central district. Along with sister hotel Six Senses Maxwell opening later this year, Six Senses Duxton seeks to engage with the surrounding neighborhood and provide a new level of sustainability practiced in Singapore.
“Six Senses Duxton aims not only to deliver a five-star luxury hotel experience, but to actively improve the surrounding neighborhood and natural environment as we do so,” says Six Senses Chief Executive Officer Neil Jacobs. “Singapore has been my home for almost 20 years, specifically the colorful enclave of Tanjong Pagar. Together with our team, I am delighted to bring our unique new urban Six Senses experience to life in Singapore, and for us to enrich and be enriched by the Duxton and Maxwell communities.”
Six Senses Duxton underwent a sustainable restoration procedure overseen by acclaimed designer, Anoushka Hempel. With her impressive visionary skill, Hempel has given each of the 49 guestrooms and suites a reimagined look, complete with golden fans and strong hues of black, gold and yellow, layered with oriental screens and calligraphy wallpaper from her personal collection. Hempel has also worked within the restrictions of a heritage building and variations of room size to successfully express her vision throughout the hotel.
Modern Chinese screens of black lacquered wood and glass divide the various sections of the ground floor restaurant and bar from the lobby area. Clad in a striking palette of black, gold and yellow, the 50-seat Yellow Pot restaurant will offer classic and innovative Chinese cuisine, and the adjacent 20-seat, antiquarian-themed Yellow Pot bar will serve handcrafted cocktails featuring local ingredients and a list of premium pours.
The highlight of the property is the appointment of a traditional Chinese doctor offering readings, health recommendations and a medicinal herbal dispensary.
