SINGAPORE: Vagabond Hotel Is Favourite For Art Lovers

Hotel Vagabond

HOTEL Vagabond, a luxury boutique hotel in Singapore, is set to welcome guests next month, making it the first hotel in Asia to feature interiors by French designer Jacques Garcia.

It is also the only hotel of its kind to offer a rotational Artist in Residence programme – where artists will be invited to apply for residences of up to three months to showcase their performances. Performances will be held at the 465m2 Vagabond Salon – a modern interpretation of a Parisian salon – where guests will have the chance to mingle with resident artists over cocktails.

Being all things art, the hotel also features pieces of art that have been incorporated into the design. Their collection includes a solid brass rhino reception desk, golden brass banyan tree pillars in the Vagabond Salon, and a centrepiece monkey sculpture in the Vagabond Bar, among others.

Hotel guests can also enjoy a five-star dining experience at the 5th Quarter, a collaboration between owner Satinder Garcha and restaurateur Loh Lik Peng. The restaurant helmed by executive chef Andrew Nocente will offer cuisine using traditional methods of curing meats with the aid of modern instruments to maintain the integrity of flavours.

Conveniently located in between Little India and Kampong Glam, the property is five minutes away from the CBD area, Marina Bay, Raffles Place and Chinatown.
