About
This hotel development comprises nine conserved pre-war shophouses and a modern tower block at the rear. The three shophouses at 7, 8 & 9 Bras Basah Road were designed by Lermit & Westerhout for Lee San Teck in 1903 and feature a different design from the rest of the shophouses.
The History
For many, the first storey of 4 & 5 Bras Basah Road is fondly remembered as the former premises of the Rendezvous (Hock Lock Kee) Restaurant, famed for serving nasi padang since the 1950s.
The Legacy
The sensitive restoration and integration of the shophouses with the tower block demonstrate how our treasured past can enhance the present.
