3-star heritage hotel in Singapore's Chinatown, located in a restored 1887 opera house with live cultural performances

Location

Hotel 1887 The New Opera House is set in a restored Chinese opera theatre built in 1887, now a 3-star hotel in the Chinatown district. The hotel's design draws from traditional Chinese teahouses, with a village-style layout that opens onto Smith Street's food street and Temple Street. Major attractions such as the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum are 200 metres away, and the Chinatown MRT station is a 5-minute walk.

Entertainment & Cultural Performances

From Friday to Sunday, guests can watch live performances in the hotel's common areas, reflecting the building's history as an opera house. The cultural shows are a direct link to the Chinese opera heritage, creating an immersive stay in the heart of Chinatown. This on-site entertainment distinguishes Hotel 1887 from standard chain hotels in Singapore.

Services

A 24-hour front desk handles late check-ins and luggage storage, while a shared lounge and TV area provides a space to relax. Daily housekeeping keeps rooms tidy, and laundry services can be arranged through the concierge. Street parking is available nearby, and the hotel is secured with 24-hour security.

Connectivity & Convenience

The hotel is within a 13-minute walk of Universal Studios Singapore and a short stroll to Marina Bay Sands Casino and the National Gallery Singapore. Public transportation is easily accessible via Chinatown MRT station, connecting guests to the rest of the city. Business travelers benefit from work desks in all rooms and a central location near the financial district.

“I found this hotel an interesting option, particularly for solo travelers who value being in the thick of Chinatown. The building itself has a story, as a restored opera house, and the nightly performances certainly make it stand out, so I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Singapore's cultural heart.”
