The Vagabond Club, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel Singapore - A 41-room art-inspired boutique hotel with whiskey library and jazz club

Located in a 1950s Art Deco building in the Central Heritage District, this Singapore hotel features 41 Jacques Garcia-designed rooms adorned with original artworks. The Whiskey Library & Jazz Club houses over 1000 whiskey bottles and hosts live jazz performances Wednesday through Saturday. A dramatic lobby showcases 6 gold-leafed Banyan trees, a gold Rhino reception desk, and a Franck Le Ray golden baboon sculpture. Restaurant Vagabond serves Pan-Asian cuisine including Vietnamese Beef Pho and Sichuan Style Spicy Chicken. Club level guests access the Executive Lounge offering complimentary wines and hors d'oeuvres from 5:00-7:00 PM. The Tribute Portfolio property provides 5000 square feet of event space accommodating up to 250 guests. Situated between Little India and Kampong Glam, the hotel is a 5-minute walk from Jalan Besar MRT and 1 mile from Promenade MRT.

Pros

First Singapore hotel to establish an artist-in-residence program featuring writers, poets, and musicians

Executive Club Lounge offers premium spirits and snacks without corkage fees

Live jazz performances three nights per week in the Whiskey Library

The famed Sungei Road Laksa is just 3 minutes away by foot

Cons

12.5 miles distance from Changi Airport

10-minute walk required to reach nearest MRT station

“The Vagabond Club strikes me as a decadent escape, a Parisian-chic fantasy dropped into Singapore. I picture jazz-filled nights in that whiskey library, then stepping out into the vibrant Little India streets. It's a compelling blend of curated luxury and local energy, the kind of place that lingers in your mind.”
