From nostalgic bites at Princess Terrace to sky-high serenity at JW Marriott South Beach’s Flow18 pool, our hotels offer two distinctive getaways in the heart of the city for a vintage charm or a modern escape.
Vintage Charm
And Modern Calm:
Two Hotels,
Two Ways To
Unwind
In a city that never sleeps, finding a place where time slows down for a touch of nostalgia or a moment of mindful escape is rare.
Recently, Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore and JW Marriott Singapore South Beach were featured by The Edge Singapore for unique guest experiences that offer very different forms of retreat. One celebrates classic heritage with modern-day convenience, while the other, a tranquil urban sanctuary dedicated to wellness. Together, they are redefining what it means to stay well.
Step Back in History at Copthorne King’s Hotel Singapore
Tucked along Havelock Road, Copthorne King’s invites guests to rediscover the golden age of travel, where wood panelling and vintage details evoke the understated glamour of old-school Singapore. The hotel’s recently refreshed interiors are warm and familiar, accented by Peranakan design cues and earthy palettes.
The Executive Suites come complete with private balconies, a Queen-sized bed, a separate dining area for cosy dinner parties, and all-day coffee and tea at the Executive Club Lounge and evening cocktails at the Connections Lounge.
But it’s not all retro aesthetics, there are plenty of modern conveniences too. Guests will enjoy sleek, tech-enabled rooms, a well-equipped gym and sauna, plus a breezy outdoor pool with skyline views. Long-stay travellers and weekend staycationers will find comfort in the balance of tradition and practicality.
Dining here is a nostalgic affair. The award-winning Tien Court serves refined Chinese cuisine with heritage recipes and traditional flavours, offering a culinary journey that feels both classic and deeply comforting.
From the refined elegance of Tien Court’s traditional Chinese fare to the comforting flavours of Penang classics at Princess Terrace, Copthorne King’s Hotel serves up heritage with heart with two distinct dining experiences, one timeless destination.
For something heartier and beloved across generations, Princess Terrace is a true gem. This long-standing restaurant is famed for its authentic Penang buffet, where guests can indulge in dishes like Penang laksa, char kway teow, and assam prawns. It’s a feast that delivers not just flavour, but heritage on every plate.
Take a Thoughtful Pause at JW Marriott Singapore South Beach
JW Marriott Singapore South Beach offers a different kind of retreat: one rooted in mindfulness, movement, and modern wellness.
Step into a private world of luxury and exclusivity when you stay in one of the 634 premier Marina Bay suites at JW Marriott Hotel Singapore South Beach. Take in panoramic views of the Singapore skyline as you lounge in the comfort of our unique "floating" beds. Recharge your senses with a relaxing soak in your hotel suite's well-appointed marble bathroom.
Soothe your senses at Spa by JW, where curated aromatherapy rituals offer a calming escape designed to restore both body and mind.
The theme is centred around curated experiences that encourage guests to slow down and reconnect with themselves and their surroundings. From Aromatherapy Associates spa rituals at Spa by JW to quiet corners like the JW Garden, the property offers multiple ways to breathe deeply and recharge.
Design plays a big part here. Interiors are intentionally calm, minimalist with neutral tones, natural materials, and plenty of natural light. Whether you are taking a yoga class, swimming at Flow18, or lounging by the pool, every detail invites stillness and balance.
Two Different Vibes, One Common Goal: Guest Well-Being
At first glance, these two hotels couldn’t be more different. One leans into the past with vintage charm, and the other looks inward with design as its focus. But what connects them is a shared commitment to guest well-being, crafted through thoughtful design, curated experiences, and warm hospitality.
Whether your ideal escape is a cup of tea in a historic hotel or a deep-breath moment by the city pool, these two hotels give you a pause in their unique way.
