Drawing from the fascinating history of Fort Canning Park, the stylish boutique hotel Hotel Fort Canning (Hfc) is revitalized from a unique historical landmark within Singapore’s Fort Canning Park and grandly opened on November 1, 2010.
Located between Orchard Road’s shopping district, Clarke Quay’s entertainment hub, and the Central Business District, the hotel features 86 distinctive boutique rooms and suites, with opening stay promotions starting from S$275 including breakfast.
The hotel building was once the British Far East Command headquarters during World War II. Meticulously restored by award-winning Singaporean architecture firm DP Architects, it retains many original features such as its colonnaded façade, exuding colonial-era nostalgic charm. The WWII-era British underground command center, the Battle Box, holds significant historical importance as the site where British commander General Percival formally surrendered to the Japanese invasion on February 15, 1942, making it perfect for a unique welcome tour experience.
The hotel’s highlight restaurant is the all-day dining bistro “Bistro @ The Glass House,” offering a modern Asian cuisine style with a selection of exquisite dishes from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and across Singapore. The hotel’s opening promotion rate for a luxury suite starts from S$275 (plus taxes and service charges), including breakfast, available until December 31, 2010.
