The Barracks Hotel Sentosa by Far East Hospitality

Nestled in a quiet, leafy corner of Sentosa, The Barracks Hotel Sentosa by the Far East Hospitality group is less a hotel and more a step back in time into a beautifully restored piece of Singapore's history. This isn't your typical high-rise, glass-and-steel resort; it's an intimate, luxurious retreat that masterfully blends colonial charm with modern sophistication. The moment you pass through the guarded gates (a nod to its former life), you are transported. The hotel is comprised of three beautifully preserved, whitewashed colonial buildings from the early 20th century, originally built to house the British artillery. The ambience is one of serene, understated luxury. It’s quiet, exclusive, and feels a world away from the bustling theme parks and beaches just a few minutes down the road. The common areas are elegantly appointed with period-appropriate furniture, whirring ceiling fans, and dark wood accents, evoking a bygone era of romance and grandeur. The overall feeling is one of being a guest in a very wealthy, historically-minded friend's private estate. The attention to detail is impeccable. The bathrooms are spacious, and the rooms are incredibly quiet, ensuring a peaceful night's sleep. The decor is a tasteful mix of classic and contemporary, with rich fabrics and thoughtful lighting. Expect high ceilings, tall shuttered windows, and elegant four-poster beds. The service is a standout feature. The staff-to-guest ratio is high, and the team is exceptionally well-trained. From the warm welcome to the seamless check-in and the thoughtful recommendations, the service is discreet, anticipatory, and genuinely friendly. It feels personalized rather than procedural. If you are looking for a unique, romantic, and utterly peaceful escape that still provides easy access to Sentosa's fun, The Barracks is arguably one of the most distinctive and charming hotels in all of Singapore. Thank you to the team here and see you all again next year

We really enjoy coming here to relax on weekends. Compared with other hotels, this place is not so crowded, so it's very quiet. We especially love the service here—again, because it's not crowded, the service is very attentive. I particularly like GABBIE, she's so lovely, of course, everyone else here is really nice too. We will definitely come back.

Thanks Adikin and team for the Amazing hospitality! From pre-check in to check out! Had a great stay!!

Excellent place to stay to enjoy a quiet and private time for couples. There was like thanks 10 people roaming the hotel at any one time. Staff was very attentive and always willing to help. Room was clean and atmosphere was really relaxing.
