Getting Around
Located in the city centre and nestled between Singapore’s two eclectic cultural enclaves, Kampong Glam and Little India, Hotel Boss is within walking distance to exploring Singapore’s historical and cultural heritage. Guests can also find good bargains, high end shopping, art galleries and quirky local boutiques at Haji Lane, Halal and non-Halal artisan cafes or fine dining, in and around the hotel.
With its strategic location, Hotel Boss is well-connected by expressways and public transportation such as Bugis and Lavender MRT station and within close proximity to shopping districts such as Orchard Road, Bugis and City Hall.
Our Muslim guest will be delighted to know that Malabar Muslim Jama’ah Mosque is located next to Hotel Boss, and the iconic Sultan Mosque is just minutes away on Arab Street. Just next to Sultan Mosque, The Malay Heritage Centre is a must-visit if you are keen on learning about the rich heritage and culture of Singapore’s Malay Community.
Alternatively, take a 9 minute walk to the renowned Mustafa Centre, a known 24-hour shopping paradise in Little India that stock a colossal catalogue of items from electronics to jewellery to groceries all under one roof or take your pick of knick-knacks and souvenirs from open-air Tekka Centre, Little India Arcade or at shops along the way.
Guests who wish to maximise their Singapore trip can head over to Golden Mile Complex to book an affordable day trip to Malaysia by using the many economy or premium coach services.
As night falls, the surrounding area takes on another persona to offer a vibrant array of nightlife and entertainment choices, all within walking distance.
