Boutique Hotel in Fort Canning Downtown Core, Singapore
Hotel Fort Canning is a boutique hotel opened in 2010 in Fort Canning Park , Singapore . Located near the Orchard Road and Clarke Quay Nightlife districts , the building was the British Far East Command Headquarters during World War II . The building was restored and reconstructed as a hotel by architectural firm DP Architects which sought to maintain its British colonial architectural style and the multi-columned façade of the old headquarters.
History and conservation [ edit ]
British Far East Command HQ [ edit ]
The military building was built in 1926 as the Administration Building of the British Far East Command HQ. The General-Officer-Commanding, Lieutenant General Percival , had an office in this building. The building was occupied by the Japanese Military during the Occupation (1942–1945). The British Military took it back after the war and used it as part of the British Military Administration .[1]
Singapore Command and Staff College [ edit ]
The building was then taken over by the Singapore Armed Forces when Singapore became independent. In 1970, the building was used by the Singapore Command and Staff College (SCSC).
In 1976, the SCSC moved out of the building, and it remained unoccupied until 1995, when it housed the Fort Canning Country Club.
The Legends Fort Canning Park took over the premises in November 2002, and in July 2011, it re-opened as Hotel Fort Canning.[2]
Facilities [ edit ]
The hotel has 86 stylised rooms and suites.
Hotel Fort Canning's upper floor windows have wide views of Fort Canning Park and the Downtown Singapore skyline.
The hotel has two outdoor swimming pools filled with water treated by an innovative non-chlorination-based system, with none of the health issues of conventional swimming pools, a gym and Chinois Spa @ The Legends . It also has two food & beverages outlet, and 6 meeting venues with conference facilities.[3]
