Outfitted like an ultra-exclusive gentlemen’s club (think crystal chandeliers, club chairs and dark wood panelling), the barbershop offers haircuts, mani-pedis, massages and threading services. But we suggest you stick to what these guys are really renowned for – the traditional wet shave. Once you try that, there’s really no going back to your dinky ol’ razor.

10. Ann Siang House

This hot property is furnished to perfection – its electric blue facade and gold windows serve as an indication. Rooms, as well as common areas on every floor, are all about sumptuous leathers, gilded mirrors and geometrical tables and stools. Only 20 rooms are available, each equipped with the Hypnos “Firenze” bed, said to be the comfiest in the world. We’d recommend the studio premier room, as it comes with a massive tub, or the junior and wellbeing suites that open up to private balconies.
