A hotel reflecting Peranakan heritage and lifestyle of early Singapore, InterContinental Singapore’s design incorporates both legacy and local culture. Inspired by ornate art, ceramics and eye-catching embroidery, the residential feel is punctuated with traditional fabrication techniques such as block printing used to create Peranakan-inspired motifs on custom silk headboards. Meanwhile, surface treatments lend a contemporary edge, with the likes of white, gold and duck egg blue tones striking a balance between old and new.
