Baan 2459

Following a sparkling but period-correct renovation, this colonial-luxe mansion dating back to 1916 marks quite a departure from the usual crumbling Chinatown shop-houses. There are just four rooms, each one an elegant blend of colonial furnishings and muted colors plucked from the Farrow & Ball school of design. Book suite “Two” for the full colonialist experience—four-poster bed, chandelier, private entrance and marble-clad bathroom.
