1. Hotel Clover 769 North Bridge Road

Starts from: $112 per night

In the vicinity: Check out the nearby cultural sites, such as the Malay Heritage Centre (formerly a Malay palace from the mid-19th century, now restored to its former glory and serving as a museum for Malay culture and history) and Sultan Mosque (regarded as the national mosque of Singapore). In addition, the hotel is within walking distance of Warong Nasi Pariaman, a 72-year-old eatery that serves authentic Indonesian cuisine cooked with a traditional charcoal stove. You can read about this eatery (and watch a mouth-watering video about it) in our write-up here.

Still want to explore? Good news: North Bridge Road is near Bugis, aka one of the most colourful neighbourhoods in Singapore, which recently made it to a list of the world's 50 coolest neighbourhoods. Check out our story on Bugis and what it has to offer to discover more hidden gems.

Fun fact: North Bridge Road was once home to five different movie theatres: Theatre Royal, Diamond Theatre, Jubilee Theatre, Odeon Cinema and Capitol Theatre. Now, only the Capitol Theatre building still remains, though it has since been refurbished to host both film screenings and theatre productions.

Fun fact: Geylang is old AF and has its roots in the second half of the 19th century. The area was known for growing fragrant lemongrass (known in Malay as serai) as a cash crop – in fact, that's where the name Geylang Serai comes from.

4. Arton Boutique Hotel

Starts from: $107 per night

In the vicinity: If you love cafe hopping, there's good news: This hotel is located near several eateries like Chye Seng Huat Hardware (Despite the highly misleading name, it's actually a coffee shop located in a former hardware store), The Refinery (a three-storey eatery with a yakitori joint, a mixology bar and a designer workspace) and Two Bakers (the original outlet of this well-known artisanal bakery cafe).

Fun fact: The nearby Lavender Street suffers from a case of ironic naming, as the area was once known for the foul smell caused by using nightsoil (read: human waste) to fertilise vegetable gardens.
