The hotel building, formerly the British Far East Command Headquarters during World War II, is the result of the restoration of the British Military structure which was built in 1926. It is a colonial-style hotel, featuring 86 individually-styled boutique suites and rooms, and is surrounded by the greenery of Fort Canning Park. Facilities at the hotel include a lobby, a 24 hour reception, internet access, laundry and dry clean service (chargeable) and currency exchange.

Located at Fort Canning Park, this park setting straddles not only the Orchard Road shopping belt, the Clarke Quay entertainment hub, but the Central Business District, and the Civic District. The hotel is 25 minutes drive away from Changi International Airport, and a 5 minutes walk to the nearest MRT station at Dhoby Ghaut. Some of the nearby attractions are Fort Canning Park and National Museum of Singapore. For recreation on a larger scale, 3 nine-hole golf courses are located at Sedenak, Johor, Malaysia. It is within one and a half hour drive from the hotel (fees apply).
