Leave the usual cityscape behind and discover a lesser-known Singapore at the Village Hotel Katong. Located in the historic Katong and Joo Chiat districts—the original home of the Straits Chinese—the hotel will transport you back in time with its authentic Peranakan décor and furniture. Look a little closer, and you might even be able to see the different Malay, Indian, Arabic, and European influences that played a part in shaping this unique culture.

In the immediate vicinity, you can effortlessly live like a local and see how the Peranakans left their mark on everything from design to cuisine as you stroll past old shophouses and visit authentic Peranakan restaurants. Go just a little farther out, and the old will soon give way to the new at the nearby Parkway Parade Shopping Mall, a subtle reminder that modern conveniences are never far away when you stay at Village Hotel Katong.

The hotel is situated 650 m from a shopping mall, 5 km from a golf course, 11 km from Singapore Center, and 13 km from Singapore Changi Airport. The hotel is also located a 3-minute walk from Marine Parade MRT, offering guests easy accessibility to a variety of locations and landmarks. Don’t leave before paying a visit to the famous Gardens by the Bay on the Marine Parade MRT Line. Facilities and services include restaurant, lounge bar, swimming pool, gym, meeting rooms and 24-hour reception.
