Cheap Hotels in Chinatown

“Chinatown?” we can hear you saying. “I’ve already been to Chinatown!” Hey, mate, we hear you, but listen up: the Chinatown in Singapore is one of a kind. It’s historic—an enclave of Cantonese-speaking shop owners and restaurateurs at the core of the country’s heritage. Your Singapore Chinatown hotel can put you within walking distance of temples, silk merchants and souvenir shops you can spend hours browsing. When the touring's done, you can even stop for a foot massage set to traditional music.

Things to Do in Chinatown

Food? Of course this place has food. Heaps of it! Set out from your Chinatown accommodation to the night market in Kreta Ayer to sample Singaporean staples like chili crab. Get your culture fix by wandering down streets recreated for a glimpse into the 19th century at the Chinatown Heritage Centre. Looking for enlightenment? The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple can inspire you to look inward and, if you arrive at the right time during daily ceremonies, you'll see the relic itself: one of Buddha Shakyamuni's teeth. Apparently those with great dental hygiene are more likely to reach nirvana.

Chinatown hotels hold another secret: They're in the midst of what draws tourists to the area to begin with—the community itself. Spend your days wandering around and looking at the restored shophouses and little hideaway businesses. It's an enticing glimpse into the Chinatown of decades past. You won’t be far from the big city, of course; Chinatown holidays get you close to Singapore's towering skyscrapers, but you won't find it too hectic among the low-rise buildings and streets with open-air eateries.
