In my books, boutique hotels seduce luxury hotels for their cheapness and Insta value. Often, making waves in Singapore are themed concepts rich in campy and flamboyant atmospheres - whether it is a hotel revisited of old stores or a hotel with a boudoir-chic aesthetic. But if you prefer vivid monochrome, check out Chinatown's latest addition, Hotel Mono, where the old meets the new and the bold meets the minimalist. Who said mono should be boring?

The Mono Hotel
The Mono Hotel stands out along Mosque Street with its black and white storefront, preserving its heritage while giving it's interior a modern makeover. This independent establishment has 46 rooms, and its bold and contemporary design aims to attract the new generation of foreigners and locals looking for a place to sleep during their vacay - or staycay.
Totally affordable, a double room here starts from $ 160 per night, while a room that can accommodate a family of four starts from $ 300 per night. The best song? No two rooms are the same, each with a unique design and decor. And speaking of decoration, you just have to shout at the metal bar that seems to float in the air in each room, which doubles as a light source and a hanger. The mosaic tiles planted in each room also underline the characteristic geometric spirit of the Mono hotel.
What's more, why stay in a hotel that rinses your mobile data? Hotel Mono offers free high-speed Wi-Fi, accessible in each room. All rooms have flat-screen TVs with cable channels, air conditioning for unbearably hot days, and luxury beds with micro-gel fiber pillows, perfect for your beauty sleep.
