Local Attractions
Housed in a three-storey historic shophouse with a Chinese baroque façade, Wink exudes charm and local flavors. It resides right in Chinatown – a must-see cultural enclave of Singapore's largest ethnic group – which is a convenient pivot to access the country's attractions. Within minutes in the North lies
Clarke Quay, a premium nightlife destination to unwind. A hop away in the South is Sentosa, an island resort getaway, and the distinctive skyline of Singapore's Central Business District. Club Street and its bohemian vibes is an easy walk away to the East. Also in close proximity is the renowned
Marina Bay Waterfront, which houses the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resorts & Casino, and the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix night race circuit. And it does not get more convenient than having
Chinatown's Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station a mere 3-minutes stroll from Wink. From here, guests easily access all of Singapore's popular sights (and less 'touristy' ones too that only we recommend).
