This property is the South East Asian flagship of the Kimpton group. In many ways the group and this property is redefining the definition of luxury hotels for millennials. The hotel is uniquely designed with natural light, and multiple instagrammable locations to ensure it is heavily featured on social media.

Local artist’s work is placed strategically around the hotel to add life and creativity to the many open spaces. It is located within glorious, manicured gardens where guests can sit and work, eat or play all day if they like.

WFH is a focus both inside and outside the rooms, as is affordable but high level F&B, and free drinks for in-house guests for an hour every day.
