PB hotel design editorial

At the junction of North Bridge Road and Stanford Road, where Singapore's civic district meets the colonial grid of the city centre, a curved Palladian facade dating to 1933 has carried several lives — government offices, a celebrated cinema, a shopping complex — before becoming The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore when the broader Capitol Singapore development opened in 2018. The building, originally designed by Keys & Dowdeswell and later associated with the firm Regent Alfred John Bidwell, presents its white stucco cornicing, arched windows, and balustraded roofline to the street with the composed authority of colonial-era institutional architecture, restored by DP Architects during a conservation effort that preserved the structure's classified heritage status. Inside, the 157 rooms and suites were conceived by interior design firm BAMO, who layered a palette of dark-stained timber floors, floral-patterned wool rugs, and warm cream plasterwork against the original arched window openings — tall fanlight arches visible in the guestrooms carry natural light deep into spaces furnished with lacquered desks, bronzed mirror panels, and upholstered settees that position themselves somewhere between Raffles-era colonial gravity and restrained contemporary luxury. The bar, visible in the images, threads together Portuguese azulejo tile cladding along the counter base, cane-backed bar stools, coffered ceilings, and dark timber wall panelling — a register closer to a well-worn gentlemen's club than to the studied minimalism of most contemporary Singapore hotel interiors.

"Had been staying at Capitol Kempinski on several occasions and it has never failed me until now. Loving the hotel and the services. Got upgraded to suite as a Titanium member with great welcome amenities. The suite are spacious & comfortable. Even it has no view but with amazing deco & luxurious feel. Breakfast at 15 Stamford was also truly amazing. Great food and service. Looking forward to my next visit soon."

"We stayed at the Capitol Kempinski recently for my husband’s birthday and there were definitely parts of the stay we really enjoyed. The reception team were excellent throughout and genuinely helpful whenever we needed anything. The location is fantastic, the room itself was very spacious, the bathroom was lovely, (I had so much fun with the Japanese bidet style toilet) and the quality of the breakfast was very good. Unfortunately though, the hotel itself feels like it’s starting to look a bit tired in places and there were quite a few annoyingly small issues during our stay that all add up and actually shouldn’t happen in this standard of hotel and at this price. Both wardrobe doors stuck constantly and the wardrobe layout wasn’t especially practical for dresses anyway, unless you happen to be fortunate enough to get away with wearing mini dresses which I am not . The safe kept flashing an error code and bleeping until somebody fixed it. The windows were noticeably dirty giving the room a bit of a dingy feel and the curtains didn’t properly close all the way across. The toilet seat wouldn’t stay up, (not a problem for me but hubby struggled I think ). The lighting wasn’t great for doing makeup, and daft as it sounds, housekeeping only supplied four teabags, all different types. We both drink English Breakfast tea, so having one bag each of four random teas felt a bit odd. Even a small touch like a couple of biscuits in the room would have been nice. I was also surprised the toiletries were still the tiny plastic bottles rather than refillable ones, which feels quite outdated now. Turndown service was very inconsistent as well. We were told to remove the do not disturb sign if we wanted the room serviced in the evening, which we did, but some nights it happened and some nights it didn’t. Breakfast was another mixed area. The food itself was good quality, but on two mornings the service and organisation felt quite chaotic. The bar area especially could really do with refreshing. Some of the banquette seating had visible drink stains and generally looked worn. One barman also seemed thoroughly unimpressed that we arrived about 10 minutes before opening time, even though we were perfectly happy to wait. What’s frustrating is that underneath all of this you can still see that this was once a really luxurious hotel, and probably still thinks of itself that way, but it now feels like it’s overdue for a proper refresh and a bit more attention to detail. Without the warmth and professionalism of the staff this probably would have been a 2-star review rather than a 3. They really were the best part of the stay. Overall we didn’t have a terrible experience, but for the price being charged now, I honestly don’t think I’d choose to stay there again."
