I have been traveling extensively World Wide on Business and Pleasure since 1980. Hotels and the rooms became a rather boring part of travel. During COVID I found myself locked down in Singapore and as a result was directed to stay at the Duxton Hotel. What a change from the usual Hotel and I loved it. I found the group who owned the Duxton also owned 3 others of a similar concept in Singapore. In February I booked into the Vagabond Club for 4 nights and was so impressed I booked another 4 nights in March. The very quirky features and appearance really appealed to me but more importantly the Hotel Team provided an appropriate service with a much more personal approach. If you are looking for a quirky but desirable Hotel this is it and its location is equally different but works. Without doubt the most unusual lounge but so much fun and fascination.

From the moment we checked in until we checked out we were treated with kindness and wonderful hospitality. From the manager, Victoria, the front desk associate, Arti to the Service for breakfast each morning - everyone was delightful. The hotel itself is very unique. The Whiskey Library, jazz music and all the artwork made it for a very fun place to stay. Also very conveniently located to many different destinations. Loved every moment. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

If you are tired of the standard, run-of-the-mill hotel experience, The Vagabond Club is a breath of fresh air. From the moment you walk through the doors, it’s clear that this isn’t your typical stay—it is vibrant, unique, and incredibly fun. The walls are adorned with a curated collection of unique photos, and every corner seems to hold a new surprise, from striking sculptures to bold, artistic decor. It feels more like staying in a high-end private gallery....with a Liquor Library- what fun!! With only 40 rooms, the atmosphere is intimate, and the staff actually takes the time to get to know every guest, providing a level of personal attention that is hard to find in larger luxury chains. A special mention must go to the manager, Victoria, and her wonderful team. They went above and beyond to make us feel important and special—whether they were assisting with our bags, seamlessly arranging our transportation, or simply checking in to ensure our stay was perfect. For those who value loyalty benefits and high standards of service, the fact that this is a Marriott property was a significant plus for us.
