The Royal Peacock

In 1997, ten beautifully restored shop houses located in the centre of Chinatown were converted into this seventy-four room boutique hotel. Unique touches include a sleigh bed and an antique gilt-framed mirror, as well as plush purple carpets, rich floral fabrics reminiscent of Baroque painting, red curtains with tassels and rich jewel-toned walls. The 3-storey, air-conditioned building houses a lobby, hotel safe and lift access. Currency exchange facilities and Internet access are also available. The 24-hour hotel reception is open daily and offers a 24-hour check-out service.
