TripZillaMondrian Singapore Duxton is a design-led hotel in Duxton Hill that suits travellers who like their stay to feel plugged into the city. You’re booking it for the combination of a lively neighbourhood you can walk around at night, a rooftop pool and bar that’s an experience in itself, and a dining line-up that lets you plan a full evening without leaving the building.
It works especially well for couples and friends on a short trip to Singapore, staycationers who want a hotel with a proper “go-out” energy, and food-first travellers who like having destination restaurants and cocktails within arm’s reach. If your ideal rhythm is spending the day in Chinatown, then a quick reset back at the hotel, followed by dinner and drinks that don’t require a long ride home, Mondrian Duxton fits that style naturally.

Duxton Hill as a base
Duxton Hill is one of the easiest areas to stay in if you want Singapore to feel walkable at night. Keong Saik’s restaurant strip is close, Chinatown is an easy daytime wander, and the CBD is near enough that you never feel “far away” from the city’s core.
This is the kind of location that suits flexible plans. You can keep the day simple, return to the hotel for a short reset, then head out again without turning dinner into a logistics exercise.
Design and overall vibe
Mondrian Singapore Duxton leans into being bold and urban. The arrival feels intentional, and the public spaces are designed to be used, not just passed through. It’s more social and city-facing than quiet and retreat-like, which is exactly why it lands well with couples, groups of friends, and travellers who plan their trip around food and nightlife.
Rooms and suites
Most entry-level rooms here are compact in a typical “central city hotel” way, but they’re put together with care. Common room features include:
- Ensuite bathroom with a rain shower
- High-speed Wi-Fi
- Espresso machine
- Minibar
- Floor-to-ceiling windows (views vary by room position)
Design-wise, the rooms carry the same polished mood as the rest of the hotel, with sculptural furniture, contemporary lighting, and green accents. Some categories also include locally rooted art touches, which help the rooms feel more Singapore-specific rather than generic-luxury.
Rooftop pool and the Canyon Club mood
Canyon Club is the signature hangout and the space that gives Mondrian its “Duxton night out, but upstairs” identity. It’s a rooftop pool and bar with a social, sunset-friendly mood. If rooftop time is part of why you’re booking, it’s worth planning at least one late afternoon or early evening around it.
Where to eat and drink in the building
Mondrian’s biggest strength is how complete the on-site line-up is. You can do dinner, cocktails, and a final nightcap without leaving the property, and it still feels like you went somewhere.
- Christina’s: the all-day dining and wine bar option for something low-fuss, from daytime coffee to a casual meal
- Bottega di Carna: a lively Italian restaurant choice when you want a bigger “dinner energy” night
- Jungle Ballroom: the late-night cocktail address with a tropical, bold, party-leaning atmosphere
Two destination restaurants worth planning around
- Araya: a one-MICHELIN-star restaurant with an innovative Chilean and South Pacific direction. This is the obvious “book-ahead” dinner if you want one big culinary night during your stay.
- Suzuki: a Japanese omakase experience in a calm, design-led setting. It’s the more focused, intimate choice when you want a quiet, special meal rather than a buzzy one.

In short
Mondrian Singapore Duxton is at its best when you lean into the rhythm it’s built for. Think Duxton Hill evenings where you can wander from dinner to a bar without needing a long ride home, then cap the night with cocktails that feel like a real plan rather than an afterthought.
The hotel also works well as a “reset point” in the middle of a packed Singapore day. You can do Chinatown and the city core in the afternoon, take a quick break back in your room, then head back out with energy. Add a rooftop pool moment at Canyon Club, and the stay starts to feel like part of the itinerary, not just the place you sleep.
If your Singapore trip is driven by food, drinks, and neighbourhood-hopping, Mondrian Duxton fits that style naturally. It’s the kind of hotel that makes evenings easy, and that convenience is the real luxury.
