From local favorite eateries to cool indie stores, there’s a myriad of lifestyle options at Little India for the discerning traveler looking for something more unique in Singapore. And at the center of it all is One Farrer Hotel. The 5-star urban resort offers a total of 252 rooms spanning over three hotels: the Mint Hotel, Loft Apartments, and Skyline Studios and Sky Villas.
One can easily spot One Farrer Hotel by the green apple structure sitting at the drop-off area. Named Artemis after the Greek goddess, this sculpture by Singaporean artist Kumari Nahappan is a showstopper and provides a peek into the hotel’s extensive collection of artworks from across Southeast Asia.

Accommodation
While all three hotels cater to various purposes, ranging from leisure and business to medical tourism, considering that Farrer Park Hospital is located just beside it, the Skyline Studios and Sky Villas are where it’s at for that peak of luxury, literally. The rooms here are located on the upper floors, meaning guests can bask in the panoramic view of Singapore’s skyline during their stay.
The Lotus Villa stands out from the rest with its very own library, filled with visual art books. High ceilings and an outdoor terrace create an expansive space featuring many amenities, from a dining room and pantry area to a walk-in wardrobe. Imported Persian carpets and Frette linens and towels add a further touch of luxury to the villa.
Dining
Guests at the Skyline Studios and Sky Villas have exclusive access to the Skyline Lounge on the 18th floor. Here, you can treat yourself to a wide array of food and beverages five times a day, starting with cooked-to-order breakfast served from 7am to 10.30am. Once the sun goes down, evening cocktails and light refreshments make for the perfect accompaniment, whether you’re catching up with loved ones or unwinding after a long day.
Other dining options available at One Farrer Hotel include Nest at One Farrer, a private dining space on the 20th floor, One Farrer Confectionery, and the al fresco Escape Restaurant, where diners can feast on locally inspired dishes like Wok-Fried “Hor Fun” with Pan-seared Ribeye Steak and Kaya Toast Mille-Feuille.
Activities
When it comes to facilities, One Farrer Hotel does not disappoint. Aside from the private rooftop pool open only to Skyline guests, there’s the olympic-size main pool found on the 6th floor suitable for swimming laps or simply lounging in the in-water sun beds and jacuzzi. Once you need a pick-me-up, head on over to the Sunset Bar and soak up the sun with light bites and ice-cold cocktails or beers. Non-alcoholic drinks are offered as well.
The 24/7 gym is incredibly well-equipped and clean, making it a breeze to fulfill your daily workout needs. However, for those who prefer more privacy, visit the Skyline gym on the 19th floor instead. The space is smaller, but one can still have a full-body exercise with its multi-functional cardio machines and weights.
