Luxury means different things to different people, it could be elegant interior design, complimentary cocktails or a rooftop infinity pool, and it always includes privacy, freedom, and an exquisite sense of space. Naumi Hotel Singapore ticks all these boxes and a lot more.
Arty, eclectic and flamboyant
This boutique family-run hotel takes pride in its bold design and exclusive atmosphere. Its distinct aesthetic sets it apart, featuring a curated selection of artists and designers showcased throughout the property.
Before even stepping inside, you notice a striking mural in the hotel’s facade depicting a spray-painted red sports car suspended in a net trap by a life-size policeman. This is the work of Tr853-1 (Trase Oner), a pioneer in Singapore’s street art scene. At night the headlights of the car actually illuminate.
Inside, British artist Mark Denton Esq’s bold and playful paintings Donut, Blow, and Roller 3 add a touch of humour. The artworks portray a woman in an oriental dress eating a donut, chewing bubble gum, and smoking—actions that are notably restricted in Singapore, adding a sense of irony.
A giant elephant stands near the entrance, while interactive art pieces surprise guests at every turn. The hotel itself feels like an art gallery, with creativity woven into every corner.
Quirky and stylish rooms
The contemporary theme continues throughout Naumi’s 73 rooms, which range from the cozy Habitat and Patio categories to uniquely themed designer rooms. The ‘Gabrielle & Camillia’ rooms, inspired by Coco Chanel, exude monochromatic elegance, adorned with floral artwork by award-winning French photographer Olivier Henry and Singaporean artist Aiman Olivier. Meanwhile, the ‘Eden & Nirwana’ rooms pay tribute to Andy Warhol’s bold aesthetic. The opulent Suvarna Suite is a golden wonderland of luxury.
Our Habitat room was a delightful mix of rich, tactile fabrics and elaborately printed wallpapers. Instead of the usual white robes, guests are provided with vibrant kimonos. The space is cleverly optimised with a hidden retractable cupboard that contains a Nespresso machine, cups and glasses. The minibar contents are complimentary during your stay which is a nice added bonus!
Magic bathroom
The standout feature of the room is undoubtedly the bathroom, which is in the centre of the room and the first thing you notice when first entering as it’s made of glowing yellow marble. This beautiful piece of furniture includes the sink and a separate tap for filtered water, a large mirror, storage, mini fridge, and Antipodes toiletries—a premium New Zealand brand specializing in botanical skincare free from synthetic fragrances and animal ingredients.
The toilet and shower are conventional cubicles but it’s so refreshing and unique to see an open-plan bathroom like this, instead of the usual partitioned room like every other hotel. On first glance the shower looks normal but we found a hidden party trick. A button the wall marked ‘Magic Glass’ changes the glass shower door from opaque to transparent in an instant, it’s very cool!
Infinity pool with city views
The Cloud 9 Rooftop Infinity Pool offers an unparalleled retreat, with ambient music, plush loungers, and a mesmerising uninterrupted city skyline view that’s simply breathtaking. The most amazing thing about this area is that it’s never too busy so there’s good chance of having the whole place to yourself.
Every day at 5-7pm the rooftop bar opens for happy hour, offering guests complimentary drinks and snacks. The perfect time and place to enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine as the sun goes down and the city lights gradually fade on.
For fitness, the hotel also features a Pilates room with a reformer machine and a 24-hour gym.
In the heart of Singapore
The hotel is situated at the intersection of the city’s chic shopping precinct and the vibrant financial district, making it ideal for both leisure and business travellers. Marina Bay, Singapore Flyer, China town and other tourists attractions are all withing short walking distance.
Designed as an urban retreat, Naumi lets you switch off and unwind. Whether you’re here for work, rest, or play, one thing is certain: you’ll be planning your next stay before you even leave.
