That quiet respite you so desperately crave is now but a stone’s

throw away. Luxury hotel brand, Six Senses, known for its lush

retreats in far-fl ung locations, has opened a city hotel for the

fi rst time in the eclectic streets of Tanjong Pagar. The original

19 th-century row of shophouses along Duxton Road has been

reimagined into a diverse mix of Chinese, Malay and European

elements, dressed in opulent black

and gold hues by acclaimed

British designer Anouska

Hempel. The urban oasis

also includes in-house

Traditional Chinese

Medicine physicians,

complimentary daily

tinctures comprising

Chinese herbs, and

community-based

activities such as walking

tours and outdoor yoga.

Located in Mayfair, mere minutes

away from London’s famous

shopping haven, Selfridges,

The Beaumont is a treasure

as exquisite as the historical,

Neoclassical-style building it

resides in. The brainchild of

restaurateurs Chris Corbin and

Jeremy King, the hotel boasts

73 rooms, one of which is a

conceptual suite by British

sculptor Antony Gormley that is

aptly named “ROOM” and comes

outfitted with a giant jigsaw-

like facade. And even though

The Beaumont is steps away

from one of London’s busiest

streets, the property achieves a

feeling of intimacy through the refined use of polished

rosewood, elegant bronze mirroring details, and

graphic checkerboard flooring. The overall efect is a

stellar meld of the traditional and contemporary—with

just the right hints of Art Deco thrown into the mix.
