Why we recommend it
Hotel Indigo Katong sits on East Coast Road in the heart of Katong and Joo Chiat, the historic home of Singapore's Peranakan community, on the grounds of the former Joo Chiat Police Station. Its rooms draw on Peranakan history in their design, and the rooftop pool looks across a low-rise neighbourhood where height controls keep the skyline gentle.
Staying here puts you among some of the city's best local food, from laksa stalls to Peranakan bakeries, and close to the colourful shophouses of Koon Seng Road. It is further from the centre than most hotels, so it suits travellers who prefer neighbourhood life over sightseeing on foot. East Coast Park is nearby for cycling and sea air, and taxis to the centre are straightforward.
