Somerset Bencoolen Singapore

A gleaming metropolis known to be a melting pot of cultures, Singapore makes for a unique travel destination. Skyscrapers live harmoniously among heritage buildings that date as far back as the early 1900s, whose architectural styles tell tales of the city’s colonial past.

Known as ‘The Garden City’ for its constant stream of manicured tree-lined streets and bushes dotted with bright flowers, Singapore is an unexpected wonderland for fans of all things green. It is in this beautiful landscape of concrete and nature that the Somerset Bencoolen Singapore is located.

A variety of museums and temples sit just a short 5- to 10-minute walk away from the Somerset residence. Visit Little India where colourful temples and a smorgasbord of spicy, sweet culinary treats can be found, and later, the National Gallery or Singapore Art Museum, where travellers and locals alike walk among Southeast Asian artwork.

Within a 10-minute drive away is Mustafa Shopping Centre, a 24-hour shopping mall located at the edge of Little India that is dedicated to stocking everything from spices to gold, electronic products to basketball shoes. Another shopping haven of quite a different scale is Orchard Road, where a slew of shopping malls decked with high street and designed labels are rolled out, which is just two train stops away from the close-by Dhoby Ghaut train station.

For food, guests will be spoilt for choice at the range of culinary offerings available in the vicinity, from incredible brunch fare to quaint cafés dotting the area. But worth travelling for is the nationwide favourite chilli crab, which is steamed crabs tossed in a sticky, sweet, mildly spicy sauce found mostly in the East, along with Lagoon Food Village, where a diverse range of food stalls reside. Here, visitors can find a heady mix of flavours and dishes inspired by Chinese, Malay and Indian cuisines.

After a long day of exploring, retire to Somerset Bencoolen Singapore to refresh yourself. Guests can choose from a range of apartment types, from 1-bedroom to 3-bedroom apartments.

Guests are also given full access to a comprehensive list of amenities available in-house such as the fully equipped gymnasium, outdoor swimming pool and children's wading pool, an outdoor garden, residents' lounge and a business centre services.
