Located in the city and part of the Bras Basah Bugis precinct, Village Hotel Albert Court is within easy reach of Singapore's heritage and culture. Within the hotel, intricate wood carvings and motif design pay homage to the Chetti—a distinct group of Indian Peranakans who once resided nearby. Outside, many heritage buildings surround the hotel. Go shopping in a bazaar-style market flanked by pre-war shophouses at Bugis Village, or get your fortune told by feng shui masters, tarot readers and astro-palmists outside the historic Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple. Just across the street is Little India. Stroll in for a visual feast of spice shops, garland sellers and gold purveyors. If you've never seen an ornate Hindu temple, step into the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple for an eye-opener. If you are looking to live like a local, Village Hotel Albert Court easily puts you in the middle of it all.
