Named after the Zhangzhou people, who came from China to settle in Singapore, this boutique hotel is a tribute to the area’s trading past and full of character.

The stylish serviced apartments of this sleek property have all conveniences of a home and all the facilities of a hotel.

This hotel feels less like a family theme park than the five other hotels that make up Resorts World Sentosa. In the lobby there are aqua and sand color patterns running across all of the furniture and carpeting, along with a giant digital waterfall gushing down behind the bar. Although the hotel does its best to provide a tranquil escape from the family fun, it's best to request a room facing the rain forest, as the squealing children splashing in the water park outside can often be heard from rooms on the other side. Some rooms have direct access to a private lap pool for more privacy. Contemporary Chinese cuisine is served at the well-respected Forest restaurant, with stand-out dishes being whipped up by celebrity chef Sam Leong.
