This little boutique hotel in Chinatown might not boast the glitz and glamour of Singapore’s five star offerings, but is quite charming if you don’t mind the feeling of staying in an old shophouse. The modest infinity pool overlooks the road in front of the hotel and is on the third floor, so don’t expect breathtaking views.

Nonetheless, it’s within walking distance of Tiong Bahru and Chinatown MRT stations as well as tons of hawker food options.

Address: 77 Tiong Bahru Road
Infinity pool: On 3rd floor, street view
Approximate price: $114 to $139 per night for Mystery Room

Address: 323 Alexandra Road
Infinity pool: On 7^th floor, overlooking Queenstown and Bukit Merah areas
Approximate price: $166 to $175 per night for Superior Double or Twin Room

Hotel Indigo is right smack in the heart of Katong, right next to i12 Shopping Centre. Its interior design pays homage its cultural surroundings, marked by contemporary rattan chairs, Peranakan tiles and larger-than-life vases.

The infinity pool on the 16th floor is next to a small gym, and the view is slightly different from what you can get in the city, since it looks down on low-rise landed property and Peranakan shophouses.

Address: 86 East Coast Road Katong Square, East Coast
Infinity Pool: On 16th floor, view of shophouses below
Approximate price: $184 to $230 for the Deluxe King Room
