Tired of the usual hotel experience? Bored of lacklustre and mediocre BnB stays? Heritage Collection Singapore (Hericoll) might have what you are looking for.
Hericoll offers hotels and serviced apartments with a cultural twist. Located across the city, Hericoll turns Shophouses into a comfortable way to experience Singapore’s culture and heritage. Integrated with modern technology, expect a hassle-free and contactless check-in into these architectural delights. The prime locations that they offer place you within convenient and accessible reach of public transport options, great food, and the city centre.
Shophouses are a great investment. And we see Hericoll demonstrate that concept beautifully in their hotel chain. Whether you’re simply looking for a staycation spot, a temporary stay for a business trip, or an investor looking to get a feel of the Shophouse experience, Hericoll offers the comfort, convenience, and history to back it.
Speaking of history, Hericoll’s Shophouses are spread along the Yip Yew Chong Mural Trail. The murals are depictions of the artist’s memories of the past, time travelling if you will, into the by-gone era of Singapore’s colonial past. They remind us of the migrant history and humble beginnings of our island city. An aesthetic and palatable way to experience both art and history at the same time, this trail is great for locals and visitors alike.
For staycationers, the neighbourhood offers a nostalgic and romantic vibe. Putting you at ease as you travel through time and space, to a place that neither looks like Singapore or the 21st century but with all the comforts of the present. What’s more, you can put your couple’s teamwork to the test by trying to whip up some traditional dishes together. The accommodation provides a cooking space and the necessary crockery to boot.
Younger couples who do not have a place together yet can try out what it feels like to live in a premium loft apartment together. With a central location to boot, you might get hooked on staying near your favourite cafes and restaurants in town. The experience is uniquely its own. It puts aside the formulaic hotel experience and offers a boutique encounter in the cultural enclaves of Singapore.
Prospective Shophouse investors can give this experience a shot. It might give you an idea or two on how you might want to shape a heritage experience mixed with your own business and residential ideas. Working with a heritage space is different from managing the typical commercial real estate. Hericoll shows us how you can capitalise on the rich cultural heritage as an asset for business.
While we may have been focusing on history a lot, the comfort is not to be understated. Clean, comfortable, chill, and modern, the interiors are designed to make your stay as pleasant as possible. You will not have to worry about 80 year old creaking floorboards or the sweltering Singapore heat. It is an oasis for the overworked and burnt out.
With a minimalist style, the simplicity and clean look is something that people can easily appreciate. Bright light palette, wood, and marble, all married and mixed into a relief for the eyes of the everyday person.
In addition to the Shophouses in the Civic & Cultural, Quay, and Business Districts, Hericoll also features stays in Chinatown. Located at 227 South Bridge Road, it is less than 5 minutes walk from Chinatown and Telok Ayer MRT. The Shophouses around the area provide great options for food and drinks. This area has a wide variety of Korean, Chinese, American, and European cuisine all a stone throw away from your accommodation. It is a prime location for foodies and culture buffs alike.
On top of the usual suite of services, enjoy complimentary laundry facilities, mobile self check-in, and a fully equipped kitchenette. The premium loft deserves a second mention here thanks to its larger space, high ceilings, and large windows which gives the apartment a bright and warm vibe.
