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.

A palazzo reborn
In the heart of Gagliano del Capo, Puglia, Palazzo Daniele is a 15-suite artist guesthouse set within a 163-year-old aristocratic residence. Once a private family home, the palazzo now welcomes guests into a one-of-a-kind boutique hotel where history and contemporary art meet. Majestic frescoes and original mosaic floors provide the backdrop for minimalist design, creating a striking canvas for a curated collection of modern works.

Spaces to gather
Life at the palazzo unfolds in shared spaces designed for ease and connection. Guests can linger by the fireplace in the grand living room, pause in the spa or beside the pool, cook together in the open kitchen rooted in Apulian traditions, or enjoy aperitivo in the vast courtyard shaded by orange trees. Each corner of the house offers a different rhythm, blending relaxation with inspiration.

A family table
“This house is not a hotel.” At Palazzo Daniele, those words define the culinary spirit. Meals are not the work of a celebrity chef but of four local women, each deeply tied to the land and traditions of Salento. Their cooking recalls an old Italian family home, rooted in heritage, seasonality, and the freshest ingredients delivered daily by local farmers. Every dish tells a story of place, memory, and belonging.

Experiences that inspire
Beyond its walls, Palazzo Daniele invites guests to embrace the unexpected. Exclusive experiences — from cooking and wine tasting to sailing, hiking, biking, climbing, or simply celebrating romance — are crafted to connect you to the soul of Puglia. Each moment is designed to open hearts and minds to new flavors, new landscapes, and new ways of seeing.
