FOR 30 YEARS, Design Hotels has redefined the travel experience, curating a stunning portfolio of 300 unique, independently owned properties across 60 countries.

From buzzing cultural hotspots in major cities to tucked-away retreats in remote corners of the world, every hotel tells its own story—brought to life by a visionary owner, or as they're known, an "Original."

These pioneers are united by their passion for authentic hospitality, cultural depth and striking, thought-provoking design.

But Design Hotels is more than just a collection of exceptional stays. Member hotels gain access to cutting-edge industry insights, from trend forecasting and creative consultancy to PR strategies and global sales representation.

With its headquarters in Berlin and outposts in Singapore, London, Los Angeles, and New York, Design Hotels is a global tastemaker.

Last year, Design Hotels continued its legacy of excellence, welcoming an eclectic line-up of new members including revamped Victorian townhouses near London's Hyde Park, a meticulously restored historic remittance house in Singapore, and a jaw-dropping modernist jungle retreat in Mexico.

We've handpicked four stunning destinations-perfect for recharging in both well-trodden favourites and hidden gems around the globe. Get ready to escape in style.

SINGAPORE

Nestled at the crossroads of historic Chinatown and the lively buzz of Clarke Quay, the Chye Hua Seng Wee Kee remittance house holds a special place in Singapore's cultural tapestry. Founded in 1936 by philanthropist Lee Wee Nam and his brothers, this iconic establishment was not just a hub for financial transactions.
