Alma House is the newest serviced apartment to launch in the city centre located steps away from the Singapore River in Robertson Quay, housed within New Bahru – Singapore’s latest creative lifestyle destination.

Given the historical significance of the building as a school, there was a heightened sensitivity in the design approach to reflect the distinctive character of the site. The design elements weaved together old world charm and modern comforts, influenced by the concept of going back to school, back to your roots, back to your alma mater, inspiring the name Alma House.

Designed by award-winning design studio FARM, behind hotel projects like Lloyd’s Inn, The Clan Hotel and The Barracks and Aesop retail stores, the Lobby Lounge is curated as an extended living room, where guests can work with coffee in the daytime and end with a nightcap in the evenings.

Frequently asked questions about Singapore

When is the best time to visit Singapore?

February is the most pleasant month to visit Singapore, with the fewest rain days and slightly lower humidity. The dry spell from January to March offers the most comfortable conditions for exploring. Expect the heaviest rains from November to December, while the rest of the year sees frequent, short showers. Chinese New Year often falls in this drier window, adding a lively atmosphere.

Which area should I stay in in Singapore?

Stay in Marina Bay for iconic skyline views and easy access to Gardens by the Bay and the Merlion. The Fullerton Hotel and The Ritz-Carlton are here. The CBD, around Raffles Place and Chinatown, suits first-timers wanting central convenience, with Sofitel and The Clan Hotel nearby. Sentosa offers resort-style stays with beaches and attractions, where Capella and Sofitel Sentosa are located. City Hall, near Raffles Hotel, is great for colonial heritage and shopping.

What are the must-see attractions in Singapore?

Gardens by the Bay is a futuristic park with the iconic Supertree Grove and the Cloud Forest dome. Merlion Park offers the classic view of the Merlion statue and the skyline. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a lush, historic tropical garden. Night Safari lets you see nocturnal animals in a unique setting. The Singapore Flyer provides a high vantage point over the city.

What day trips can I take from Singapore?

The full-day tours head to Kuala Lumpur and Malacca. Kuala Lumpur is Malaysia's capital, with the Petronas Towers and a mix of modern and colonial sights. Malacca offers a historic old town with Portuguese and Dutch heritage. Both are popular day-trip destinations from Singapore.

How many days do I need in Singapore?

Plan 3 to 4 days for Singapore. In 3 days, you can see Gardens by the Bay, the Supertree Grove, Cloud Forest, and Flower Dome, plus Merlion Park and the Singapore Flyer. Add a fourth day for the Singapore Botanic Gardens, Night Safari, or East Coast Park. If you want a day trip to Malacca or Kuala Lumpur, add an extra day.
