Follow Us as we share with you our recent maiden stay experience at Duxton Reserve Singapore. This is a boutique hotel which is part of the Autograph Collection of properties under the Marriott Group. The property saw a unity of an entire row of shophouses, painstakingly and creatively restored and designed under the gifted hand of acclaimed British designer Anouska Hempel.
We booked ourselves a package which included a 5-course dinner at Yellow Pot Restaurant, a modern Chinese restaurant at the ground level of the property. We were pleasantly surprised to know that we have been upgraded to the Opium 1-Bedroom Suite with a King-sized bed. The decor within this very quaint and classy property pays tribute to historic elegance of the 19th century, with warm lighting and classy upholstery, adding a very special touch to the stay experience. A diverse mix of European, Chinese, and Malay elements were interspersed throughout the hotel creating this very unique space that not only excite the senses but was pleasurable to the eyes. The room was cosy and the bed comfy, such that a good night's rest was guaranteed.
We shall let the vlog do the talking. If any of you watching this vlog have already stayed at this property, we would love to hear from you with regard to your stay experience. As always, please feel free to leave any questions in the comments section below and we will get back to you soonest.

Great review guys, thank you!
You have saved me from staying at this property as it gets a F in to many areas for me. Sometimes boutique hotels don't live up to the hype and I had higher hope for this hotel but for my needs and want's it would not work at this time. I hope you do a review of the Maxwell Reserve in the fall.
Hi Ken,
We also had high expectations on this hotel, the Vagabond club is very nice, we tot the lady boss will make Duxton reserve to a better hotel.
I'll recommend you try Vagabond club first.
Maxwell Reservation will be able to make reservation in Sep, we passed on the day and it seem almost ready.
We will sure go vlog about the hotel
OMG thanks for the review! It saves me a trip down to taste the food. I'm considering having my ROM at Yellow Pot!
Hi Sharon,
You can try the Yellow pot at Vagabond club, we think the food taste better there, and the art pieces there are beautiful.
Oh ya,
Choose a bright restaurant for ROM, else photographer need to use flash in a dark environment :p
@@Follow_ussg Thanks for the advice!! So sweet of you! ❤❤ We are looking for photographer! Not sure if you are keen to work with us!
@@bibusharon03 Thanks to the virus, I've been 1yrs not taking wedding photos loh~
Need to practice a bit leh, when if your ROM?
@@Follow_ussg Tentatively July, waiting for the venue and solemnizer confirmation
Room 38 was where I stayed in previously in Jan. It's a Duplex Suite room! Anyway nice room!
Nice, your room is 18SQM bigger than the room we stayed ^_^
And also looks brighter
Yasss to tv review 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
We forgotten the TV review on the Fairmont hotel :p
They have the Chromecast and Miracast but the hotel North tower is terrible to stay.
The price is slightly steep considered the room size and amenities I guess! But hey, it’s the experience that counts right? Pretty impressed with their comprehensive mini bar and the drinks set though!
It's a little bit over price.
Shaun and I think Vagabond Club is better, at least there you get to see many beautiful art pieces.
The decor was quite attractive. The food looked mediocre except the chili crab omelette looked really good. Jim modeling the robe was a nice touch. Your video was informative and entertaining as always.
Honestly the deco in the lobby is really good but the one in the room is above average. We don't like the lamps and the wallpaper.
The chili crab is nice but the same restaurant in Vagabond Club can make better than them.
Hi Guys, thanks for this great video again. It looks like 400 S$ for this room is definately overpriced. And this was already the upgraded room for platinum members. I imagine how small a regular room must be. The only thing i found impressive was the minibar. Everything else, including the food, didn´t look like a 5 Star hotel. I wish you more luck at your next staycation.
All the Best from Germany
Hahaha
Ya, and we were upgraded to a bigger room, the price I shown is the regular room rate :p
The mini bar is really impressive, very good lighting and great selection.
We are going back to Fairmont hotel two days later and we really need lucks for better stay experience. :P
Nice review! Very detailed. Hmm is it better to book via third party app like agoda?
Thank you.
You get good price if you book from 3rd party,
You get better benefits ( late check out, free cancellation or upgrade ) if you book directly from the hotel.
Usually I book directly from the hotel.
I feel pity for Singaporean to pay that much for such a staycation
I think okay la,
Guests can see the price before make the booking.
I think the hotel is nice but a bit over price for a no facilities hotel.
We don't enjoy the dinner but luckily the cocktails in the bar made the night better.
Guys I am planning to go to a hotel pls recommend me some hotels
We would say Ritz Carlton with CLub access is the best!
Excited to see this pop up on my day off here. So I googled it before I watched. While the exterior pictures doesn't give the impression that it is boutique hotel, the room definitely has that boutiquey feel. I think if I could, I would love to stay in the duplex room. I don't know, there is just something about a staircase in your room that makes me feel luxurious. Do you get Marriott points or whatever their program is since it is part of the Marriott collection? Classy editing with having your youtube channel name on both tv's as you did the 360 view :) So onto some downside.....I'm always sorry to hear when you have bad service. I think the one thing that has to be top notch above eveything....more than a clean room...is service. What is the point if staff just aren't interested in being there? At least you had a good sleep. Anyway...thanks for making my day off with this. Have a continued good week.
Now I can tell that you are really on a break!
Been long time dint hear form you Google the hotel before you watch the video!
The Duplex room is 18SQM bigger than the room we stay, and also look brighter.
I think high ceiling made the room look luxury, we stayed in a different loft hotel room before, so far the Duxton room looks the best!
And Yes, I get the Marriotts points and Elite nights when I book hotels under the Marriot Bonvoy program.
I'm planning a standard bed test moves to make the bed test classy soon, so next time you see more classy editing.
There some other little things happened during the stay that made us not want to go back so soon, lucky the management doing well to make the stay better hahahah
Opium suite?! 😱
Funny right?
Only two opium room types in the hotel.
@@Follow_ussg no wonder the suite look so dark... 😂😂😂
@@jimmyang1393 hahahahaa
Have to take opium in the dark meh?
@@Follow_ussg please watch those movies on opium..... I might be wrong though... hahaha...
@@jimmyang1393 As I knew you so long~ Your last movies was over 15yrs ago loh~
I think it's misleading to call it a "suite". 😱 They probably did so to make the rate look less exorbitant. To be honest, I'd pay no more than S$200 nett for this (excluding the mediocre-looking dinner). Thank you for the very informative video. 👍
I know right?!
I was excited to saw the app mentioned I got upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite!
I'm okay to pay 200$ excluding the dinner if I want a good rest and do nothing.
It's utter madness even if one needs to pay $200 for an experience in this hotel group and this ridiculous "suite/themed" room despite of its monochrome decor and comfortable bed, is just sad and SMALL. I wonder what are they trying to hide by making the premise so dark. I reckon good boutique hotels are rather scarce in Singapore. There are still a few things they need to improve on or they should just abandon this PROPERTY while their losses are still manageable. It can't be reused as a hotel because of its many innate structural limitations. The history of this heritage site is nothing out of the ordinary nor remarkable. Trying to make it is not good enough. Picking the right location is key. Not all heritage sites are worth venturing or experiencing. Definitely not for staycation. But appreciate your introduction all the time when you guys share your good and bad experiences.
Hi Ethan,
I think the hotel group style is like that, this hotel is consider bright, the sister hotel Vagabond Club is even darker! hahaha I cant see the floor clear sometimes but we love that hotel.
Glad you think we share the good and bad experiences, some people think we are being fussy to mock businesses :p
We think the hotel need to reduce the price a lot since they dont have much facilities, and we hope the breakfast improve for those going to stay, it's sad to pay so much and get boring breakfast. ^_^
It's like a hotel in a PC Horror game
Oh hahahah
It’s too dark right?
@@Follow_ussg definitely. Not a smart use of colours and lighting IMO especially for a boutique type hotel.
@@WhatMattersMost88 it’s something difficult but not comfortable to us :p
Maybe perfect for those wants a discreet hotel :D
so sad, only cocktail, no breakfast for platinum members
Yaaaa, a bit sad for the benefits!
We suggest to go vagabond ^_^
Wah I think the wallpaper is too much for me
Hahahah~ A bit like wrapping paper right?
Gday Jim and Shaun.
I actually stayed thete about 10 years with a ex b/f. Not impressed then. Still not impressed way overpriced. No gym. Great location. But the money paid could be better elsewhere
Ohhhh~ I din't know they used to be another hotel before.
We think this is not a practical hotel for tourists, too small for a comfortable stay.
I'd not pay for the size when I go travel.
@@Follow_ussg gday Jim. Yes when I stayed there it was called the Duxton Hill hotel. . I remember the rooms were dark. And nothing impressed me about it. Breakkie was just the basis western stuff. . Never would think about staying there again.
@@garychopping2184 oh wow!
I never pass by the Duxton hill road, only found out after this hotel stay.
Do you remember the restaurant called Prealum we did a video, it's behind the Duxton reserve hotel.
And ya, I'll not go back to this hotel untill they offer good price.
@@Follow_ussg what i remember about the hotel and local area. Lots of overpriced cafes. And a few night clubs in the area. Even if the price was reduced ( 50%) I would not go back. For a hotel without a gym its no good for me. The ibis at McPherson half the price with a gym is better value for staycation 😃
@@garychopping2184 oh ya, there is a Ibis style at Macpherson! We were planning to stay there but currently it's close and use as stay home notice hotel.
The hotel looks cool and affordable!
Opium suite, what a name😂😂😂
Hahaha~ too bad no opium flute for us to pose for photos :p
@@Follow_ussg that would be epic😂
@@AnthonyLuxuryTravel I know right~~~~ Hahahaha
@@Follow_ussg Right. Maybe you can create your own scene with other pipes...water pipes? 🤣🤣🤣
I'm sorry but those robes are completely unacceptable...what's in the other rooms, bathrobes with images of Jesus or Mohammed? When will interior designers and decorators realize that Buddha images and statues are religious objects which are venerated by over a billion people worldwide. They ARE NOT objects de art for personal adornment or room decor. What's next, rooms decorated with crucifixes or Muslim cresents ☪️
If I was staying at that hotel, I would make my feeling know to the manager and the hotel's head office, and file a complaint with the religious and civil authorities in Singapore 🇸🇬
I understand you and other buddhists.
Last time I used to think buddha art is unique, calm to see and beautiful, after Thailand ban tourist bring the buddha art and tell the tourist buddha is not art then I notice it should be the way, everyone should learn to respect.
I search online the same plain bathrobe is selling 158USD, the material is really comfortable but very expensive.
