A highlight is the rooftop infinity pool with views of the city skyline, a particularly appealing venue at sunset, while a shaded garden terrace is a good spot to relax during the hottest part of the day.

Hotels Own Introduction
A Landmark Reimagined
Amidst the dynamic crossroads where historic Chinatown meets the vibrant energy of Clarke Quay, a storied remittance house once stood—Chye Hua Seng Wee Kee. Established in 1936 by esteemed philanthropist Mr. Lee Wee Nam and his brothers, this institution held deep significance for Singapore’s early immigrants. More than a financial transaction hub, it was a vital link connecting them to distant homes and loved ones.
A Heritage Reborn
Today, this iconic structure has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined by award-winning architects WOHA, emerging as 21 Carpenter—an exquisite boutique hotel that seamlessly blends history with modern sophistication. Honoring its legacy, 21 Carpenter reclaims its place as a cultural landmark, bridging the past and present with timeless elegance.
A Refined Urban Retreat
From the lively ambiance of the neo-bistro and bar to the tranquility of the lush garden terrace, the hotel offers a sanctuary in the heart of the city. Forty-eight meticulously designed guest rooms provide an intimate escape, while the rooftop infinity pool and lounge offer breathtaking views of Singapore’s skyline.
Heritage & Modernity in Harmony
Crafted from reclaimed Chengal timber, the Heritage Rooms embody the soul of the original remittance house, preserving its essence with authentic details. Meanwhile, the Urban Rooms, perched in the hotel's contemporary extension, offer fresh perspectives and a striking contrast to the historic elements, creating a stay that is both immersive and inspiring.
